    Dude was a contender for like a decade and smoked Lewis and even though he got stopped in the rematch, he was finding Lewis often with that sledgehammer jab

    Dude was a very, very good fighter

    A couple silly losses kept him from being great (Maskaev, Tua, Holyfield, Ruiz)

    They weren't silly losses, Three of those
    guys deserved them. Maskaev beats him 9 of 10. So does Tua. Holyfield beat him with headbutts, his best weapon.

    Rahman was always limited, but he did have that big right hand and a decent jab. Sometimes he would show up like a whale but dance around like a ballerina. Truly a decent fighter with severe limitations that at the age of 50+ is going to be KOd at the first sign of decent opposition

    ill strongly debate the jab

    His jab was his best weapon when he felt like using it

    Only these fights:

    Ike Ibeabuchi (President) or Oliver McCall.
    Or someone his own age.

    A senior league of boxing? Old people shouldn't fight for the same reason old people don't make porno movies.

    A fight against Ibeabuchi would be good...
