I'll admit I've only read the title of this thread but... the whole 12 or 15 round discussion gets crazy sometimes... if there were more rounds...
I think Rahman has some fight left in him but I hate watching him fight bums just to set up another big loss vs. a top fighter. He could make...

Nah Burley would win one, lose one... that's all it took for a good black fighter to lose a title shot in those days. Even if SRR wanted to...
What could have been done differently and can it still be saved? Who do you think will win? Abraham KO12 Taylor (Taylor out... he had been...
