    Neither.

    If I had to pick one, it's Peter now because VK has been off 4 years. This guy:

    as much as i don't like peter, peter's a bigger threat than rahman was a couple of years ago. rahman hasn't impressed in several years tho he was competitive with top guys at the time. that said, rahman of the late 90's early 2000's is a much bigger threat than peter in my book.

    Glass Jaw Rahman is not a threat to anyone.

    I used to be a huge Rahman fan, never more so than when he KO'd Lewis. But the truth, to me, is that he never was that good. Corrie Sanders just about knocked Rahman out of the ring, as Maskaev later did. Lewis destroyed Rahman in their second fight after keeping his glass mandible under wraps. And Oleg starched Rahman twice.

    Rahman was a very solid fighter who had excellent natural strength and a good punch. But his chin was never the best and, save the Lewis fight, he almost always came up small when it mattered. Yes, he won the Sanders bout, but that had more to do with Corrie spending time on the golf course than it did Hasim staying upright.

    Against someone with VK's KO % and chin, it's a good bet Hasim would have been doing the 'ringside seaters beware!' shimmy another time. VK would have just eaten him up.

    Peter is stouter than Rahman. Not as tall, not as athletic but a better chin. That probably won't help him on Saturday night, but I think he will be more of a challenge for VK than Rahman would have been.
