    I'm the troll?

    Whatever.

    The Tyson who beat Nielsen still had the goods to take out Rahman.

    Rahman had no defense, he couldn't counter, and was too slow to move. When forced on his backfoot, he just kind of stuck his arms straight out and hoped for the best. That's why Oleg Koed him, that's why Lewis Koed him and thta's how Holyfield and Ruiz beat him up.

    Rahman outboxed Tua but Tua was a lazy slob who wouldn't let his hands go. Tyson would never shell up like, he would take his licks but he would back Rahman into a corner and get him out of there.

    At this point,Rahman beats Tyson. Hasim weathers Tyson's early couple of rounds storm and takes his man out around the ninth

    but what's to say Rahman is weathering any storm, Rahman certainly wasnt the most durable.

    i still think Tyson would be dangerous for 8 rounds

    if Tyson was focused then yep definitely. I just cant see him being interested in more than a payday in 2002.

    that could be due to the guy he was facing in Lennox Lewis. Rahman isn't Lewis.

    i sees Tyson rushing Rahman and not letting him off the hook, with Rahmans questionable durability, Tyson gets him out of there.

    Listen if Williams could weather the storm then Rahman definitely would, Tyson was nothing at that point.

    Rahman would have beat Tyson in 2002

    So would Byrd, Ruiz, Holyfield, both Klitschkos.
    I think a lot of people still delude themselves about how far Tyson had declined by 2002.
