Round by Round Coverage; Hasim Rahman vs. James Toney

[SquareCircle]

Man, are you kidding. I love watching Rahman fight. I believe he's the only guy who's been at the very top and the very bottom, back and forth his whole career. He's a truly great fighter, but he is also the most unfortunate fighter I've ever seen. He beat David Tua twice and has no win to show for it. He knocked out Lennox Lewis in my all time favorite boxing moment (other than Corrales' rally against Castillo) only to be knocked out by the hardest punch I've ever seen land in a title fight in the rematch. I had him ahead of Holyfield and Maskaev before those freak accident losses. I think he's cool as hell and just a great fighter who's caught the baddest of breaks, but he's come back every time and here he is again, fighting for the heavyweight championship once again. Remember, Rahman was the legitimate heavyweight champion of the world in 2001. There are no other current heavyweights fighting who have been the heavyweight champion of the world that I know of. Unless I've missed someone.

the only reason he KO'd lewis was because lewis took his eyes off his fighter to showboat. it wasn't skill..it was just like peden KOing campbell. rahman's a slow, mechanical heavyweight who underachieves constantly and got beat by john ruiz. if rahman is one of your all time favorite heavies, than tim witherspoon is one of mine. (not really)

but yeah, rahman might geta break in this fight if toney takes his eyes off him

If Rahman is smart, he starts sticking that jab all night on Toney, i have Rahman beating the motor-mouth with ease.
