    Who wins this clash of the titans? Now before you laugh, remember that in recent years Rahman has struggled against the likes of Taurus Sykes and Al Cole, and unlike those two Fields has decent power. And against an opponent perceived the way Fields is perceived, Rahman would most likely show up fat and out of shape

    Would Fields stand a chance of cracking the notorious Rahman jaw or would his own chin do him in?

    I picked Rahman by KO, but the last option wouldn't surprise me.

    At this point both of them are a threat to get KO'd every time they step into the ring against a decent puncher. Or maybe even a not so decent puncher.

    I voted Fields...though I think he would just outwork the Rock at this point and win a decision, but a KO is not out of the question.

    Depends somewhat on whether Rahman's performance against Sykes was because he came in out of shape or because he has nothing left. I believe it was the former, and if he did come in shape--a big IF--he would beat Fields rather convincingly

    Rahman by KO. All you need to beat Fields is a hard straight counter punch and the experience and composure to use it. Rahman definitely has that in his right hand.

    Fields. Rahman is gassed, nothing left in the tank.

    Rahman can be like a damn yo-yo in his performances, and Fields would outwork the version that fought Sykes...

    ...but really, Rahman doesn't even have to be at 100% to beat a slow, open fighter like Fields. Even the Rahman-Maskaev II version would knock him out, at least that was a fit Rahman.
