I think Rahman came into the fight in shape and Toney was out of shape, but I still think Toney won a 115-113 decision. He landed the more effective punches even though he was off balance alot. But Rahman proved once again that he was no great fighter and had very limited skill. He had no real defense for anything Toney had. Toney had landed pretty much at will, but was exhausted after 4 rounds. Everytime he fights, he reaches a new all time high in weight, and everytime he fights he performs worse and worse. The Holyfield fight showed him at his best with hand and foot speed and stamina, but he has descended from that showing every fight since. The thing is, hes so talented, that even a diminished version of him beats pretty much everyone in the division. He's gonna take on either the winner of Byrd-Klitschko or Brewster-Lyakovich, and Rahman will win a snoozer over Maskaev. Maybe they will fight again, but I doubt it. In any event, this is exactly NOT what the division needed.

true, this is definitly the last thing the hw division needs -
Look at it like this. If Klitschko beats Byrd, then Brewster holds a win over Klitschko from 2004. Then Rahman will win a snoozer over Maskaev and Toney will beat Valuev. Then what, you have Rahman, Klitschko, Toney, and Brewster as titlists, and none of these guys will fight each other. This is simply more time wasted looking for a champion. Where is a knockout when you need one?Comment
