    Anybody heard anything about him?

    Barry McGuigan mentioned him today, said he's 15, weighs 215 pounds already and is very talented.

    Could be the yank to save the heavyweight division....in a few years.

    I doubt it, rahman was never that good.

    215 pounds at the age of 15?? If he's not overweight, then that's sick!

    Of course all it means is that he's a big dude, a natural heavyweight... whether or not he has boxing talent is a complete different question of course.

    Most top boxers fathers were not top boxers. In reality, Rahman was an Undisputed Champion at one point.

    He is trained by Emmanuel Steward.

    What, Rahman's kid?
    If he's anything like his dad then that's a good idea.

    I always felt that Rahman could've done better if he'd been trained by Steward. Really get him to use his good jab more, and use his all-too-rare left hook instead of just the jab-right all the time.

    Rahman started boxing at age 20. I think he did pretty damn good for himself if you ask me. Someone with his genes (and if he's 215 @ 15 he's got some good ****in' genes) could do big things if he wanted to.

    I hear Ali's dad wasn't a world beater either.

    ****ing idiot. What a great way to analyze fighters. :roll:


    Anyway, Rahman did pretty well for himself and if had applied himself would have done better. Being undisputed lineal champ isnt something that happens to the average joe.

    Rahman could have been damn good if he laid off the weights...a good fighter, but WAAAAYYYYYY too slow because of his bulk...

    I was at rahman maskaev in vegas i saw some of rahman's crew one looked like his kid i would have guessed about 16 give or take a year, but he was crying after the fight so i assumed it was his son, if it's the same kid then yea he was a man child, would have been about 13 then

    It so appears that Rahman was a cocain snorting champion.
