both 6'2 tall,rahman has a whooping advantage in reach 82 inches vs 76 inches. both strong as an ox,but for my money rahman is stronger,he rag dolled lewis in espn studio brawl, plus we have a poster here claiming he was benching something like 500 lbs,and doing ~20 pull ups,which is amazing for his weight. both could punch,rahman having an advantage in smashing the iron chined lewis with one punch. rahman easily outboxed tuaman in both fights,he got caught in the first one and didn't recover,in the 2nd he floored tua at the end. i think this is a helluva fight,2 huge,strong,hard punching big black menacing figures. who you got??
I think Ike would stop him. Rachman would not utilize his reach advantage the whole fight. At some point he would be forced to engage and Ike's far superior chin would be the difference.
Remember that Rahman was twice ko'ed...and knocked out of the damned ring by one of the most fragile chinned guys of all time...Oleg Maskaev. I think that Ike would hurt Rahman bad...
yea but rahman was winning both fights...remember we never saw ibeabuchi fighting a good boxer and rumour was he had problems with them.
That's what I'm thinking as well.. Ike was durable, strong and could really bang. Hasim was the more skilled between the two and would likely build a lead on points early, but I don't think he can keep it up. Especially if this one is scheduled for 12.
Well, he did KO Chris Byrd, who is basically the definition of a boxer. Anyway back to the subject fight. Rahman was a very basic boxer, jab, jab, right hand, left hook. I think Ike would have beaten Rahman half to death and cornholed him in the ring after the stoppage.
yea but chris byrd was small and has a short reach,hasim is stronger than ike,punches harder(ktfo the iron chined lewis with a single shot) and has a big reach advantage. i think rahman would be tough for ibeabuchi
