(PRIME) Oleksandr Usyk vs (PRIME) Hasim Rahman

Are you seriously having trouble predicting this fight? Lol

 

The GOAT

 

Rahman was decent, but that's about it - Usyk's the one truly elite heavyweight right now.

Usyk UD.

Rahman-Wilder would be interesting - both fringe contender type fighters who could bang... Rahman had more skills, but that's not saying much.

 

Rahman was good but he had a few problems with good boxers. When Sanders fought him his trainer Volbrecht implored him over and over to box him and not trade shots. It's for a reason. Trading punches with Rahman could result in sudden naptime. Usyk is the definition of somebody who will box rather than slug.

 

I've never thought much of Rahman. If it wasn't for his one win over Lennox Lewis would have been only thought of as a good heavyweight fighter. Thanks to the one win over Lewis, Rahman gets threads like this. Usyk beats him without much issue

 

Usyk would throw Maskaev plus Rahman out of the ring. Lol

 

Rahman is a bit underrated he deserved to beat Tua in their 2nd fight, beat a very dangerous Sanders, and of course stopped Lewis.

I think Rahman wins 2 or 3 rounds and goes the distance.

Usyk by UD.

 

Hes not that limited he beat Corrie Sanders, Lennox Lewis, and was robbed of a decision against David Tua that's a solid resume.

Not to mention having 41 stoppages in 51 wins he was a very solid Heavyweight.

 

Rahman hit lighting in a bottle vs Lewis and was a pain in the ass for Tua. He's not beating Usk

 

Yeah but he also has wins over Sanders, Lewis, and did deserve to beat Tua but was robbed.

Had Rahman got the win over Tua which he deserved then combining all those wins would be a better resume than most Heavyweights now.

I'm not saying Rahman has a snowballs chance vs Usyk but I think hes being a little under sold here. 41 stoppages is nothing to sneeze at he was a solid contender, and I'll give him the benefit of the doubt saying he would go the distance vs Usyk and win atleast 2 rounds.

 

Tua was average
