I'd say the Hasim Rahman that suffered an official (unofficial victory for Rahman) loss from Tua would beat a Prime Wladimir Klitschko.
Rahman was poor. Outside a lucky one punch hail mairy, (which i'd give him a 5% chance) Wlad beats him by KO
Theres no such thing as a lucky punch in boxing. Every punch is thrown with intention to land on the opponent. That same punch that knocked out the opponent was practiced and thrown on the heavybags,mitts, sparring sessions thousands of times.
Its easy to criticize from your couch. Rahmen gets starched in the first 6. He was always a crappy fighter with an outside chance to land something big.
I think a prime rah man has a pretty good chance to beat wlad.he just needs to put pressure on him and make him fight on his back foot.
This must be the biggest myth about Wlad Klitschko. "Just apply pressure to him and he falls apart". This may sound logical a boxing fan with the mental capabilities of a 5 year old, to everyone else it's just absurd.
so what are you saying? that wlad is unbeatable?sanders knocked him out like a *****,and as far as I know rock tko-d sanders.
The fight would go very similarly to how the actual fight went between these guys. It might go a little longer... but with the same result. Wlad keeps him under control with the jab, Rahman tries to bomb him out with overhand rights but misses time after time. Rahman gets worn down and KO'd in the middle rounds.
I love when people bring up Wlads KO losses from more than a decade ago. Ever heard of someone getting better...improving? Dude hasn't even been on the canvas since Sam Peter rabbit punched him down EIGHT YEARS AGO.
He'd be up there as one of Wlad's best ever opponents, he was a decent boxer & certainly had the power to put Wlad to sleep. Rahman would be the underdog but a live one.
