What are Hasim Rahman’s nightmares made up of?
Perhaps Rahman tosses and turns while thinking of the David Tua left hook that caught him after the ninth round ended in 1998, hurting him badly enough to lead to a stoppage in the next stanza.
Maybe he shivers recalling the perfect Lennox Lewis knockout punch in their November 2001 rematch, as Rahman went down for the count and Don King’s painted mat logo lined up perfectly so as to crown Rahman on the night he was dethroned.
Or it could be that Evander Holyfield’s head is his nighttime boogeyman, the weapon that built a monster of a hematoma out of Rahman’s noggin.
And if the unholy trinity of Tua, Lewis and Holyfield isn’t enough, then it might be that Rahman adds in John Ruiz as his fourth horseman of the apocalypse, the jabbing and grabbing beast of a boring heavyweight who nonetheless outperformed him in 2003. [details]
