    Early 90 s Foreman, the guy who kod Cooney and went 12 with Holyfield.

    Verses Hashim Rahman who kod Lewis ?

    Foreman s old man power Vs
    Rahman s jab and counter right?

    50/50 fight for me

    Foreman on points most likely or potentially a late stoppage. Foreman would outjab him and Rahman would be foolish to try to turn it into a fight.

    Rahman ahead early but ground down by pressure and heavy hands.
    George kos him round 9-11

    Rahman would win this. Foreman had enough trouble with guys like Stewart. Rahman stopped Sanders and Lewis back to back and was stronger than Foreman.

    Rahman was one of those easy-to-hurt bruisers Foreman liked to hunt in the 90s, but he was much better conditioned physically and operated on a higher level compared to the ones Foreman went for.

    I think Foreman wins a controversial SD by Homer Simpson-ing through Rahman’s shots and taming him with the jab while getting his face busted like a grape.

    Yup, this is the problem with this matchup. Rahman likes to set up his right hand with a jab, and he wouldn't be able to out jab Foreman.

    Precisely, Foreman would’ve never fought a guy like Rahaman.

    I think 90’s Foreman could have knocked him out. Rahman was dangerous but he didn’t have the best chin.

    Tell that to Joe Frazier and Deontay Wilder.

    A long hook has been called a short jab by very seasoned trainers :D

    Rahman is right there for foreman. There's no fluidity to his movements. No tactical backfoot ability. He's a big, slow, stiff, wide open target.

    Foreman has his guts for garters.

    You can call a dog a cat, it doesn't change the fact it's a dog.

    Well then short jab would be more accurate going off the transfer of weight when Joe reached with it. That would be a fact, Dog is indeed a dog.
