    Toney should have lost to Rahman.

    Rahman shouldve been DQ'd but he wasnt even warned once. 80% of the fight his elbow was in Toney's neck and he landed more punches to the back of his head and his kidneys did he did to Toneys chin.

    Considering JT is NOT a natural HW....yes Hasim should have been able to beat James....but given the circumstances, James was putting on a clinic in the rematch and he beat him in the first meeting.... It was clear that Rahman's size, power, strength advantages couldn't overshadow Jame's natural fighting ability and craft.

    I agree with this... I mean Hasim was fighting completely frustrated...the only reason Hasim wasn't KO'd was b/c James isn't a HW naturally.
