Look what he did to Lewis. He was the Undisputed champ. He beat an ATG when he was still champ. Look what he did to Tua. Tua was supposed to kill him. He boxed circles against him twice.
I'm from Baltimore... I really tried to be a fan but it wasn't easy sometimes. He really came close to going 4-0 vs. Tua and Maskaev but in the end the record reads 0-3-1 vs. these two. His wins over Sanders and Lewis are good. Even his loss to Holyfield was a pretty good effort.
He beat a distracted, under-prepared Lewis. We saw how good Rahman really was in the rematch against a 100% Lewis.
i'm a huge lewis fan but i hate this kind of reasoning. rahman beat lewis period. it was a victory he deserves huge credit for and thats coming from someone who cant stand the fat-****.
Who gives a ****? Lewis was not good enough to be mentally prepared. Lewis knew when the fight was scheduled. He was told just like Rahman. How do you know Rahman was not distracted? He might have been upset or something.
Damn right. What is up with people trying to read minds and ****? People always assume Buster got help against Tyson because his mum died. How on earth can you know that? Maybe he was really upset and tried to put on a brave face. People don't always tell the truth about their thoughts.
Because he threw a good punch? Is that frowned upon by some? He got cut. Maybe Lewis was more lucky in that fight. The circular reasoning by fans is just pitiful. Lampley: Jones beat Ruiz therefore he only took the fight because he knew he could win. That is not impressive!
Bingo :good The reason you fight is because you don't know what will happen if you don't. This is sport.
He was a good puncher but had more than just that. he had good boxing skills when he wanted to use them.Considering he only started the sport aged 20 shows that he had to have good natural talent and athleticism to succeed
You guys honestly think that being Undisputed champ is not that good? B level? Being champ is the top prize!
