    Could Fitzsimmons finish Ramhan, or would the Rock simply be too big?

    Fitzsimmons does a step backwards , Rahman plods forward and misses , Fitzsimmons throws d straight left , lands flush , Rahman buckles , Fitz lands a jab , Rahman backpedals . Fitz stalks and lands a few hooks 2d body , Rahman winces in grimace , rd 1 a 10-8 4 Fitzsimmons . Rahman comes out jabbing in d 2nd rd , Fitz lands his hail mary punch followed by a jab which knocks a fatigue Rahman unconcious (Rahman had a bit of jogging prior 2d fight so he won't get caught flush by Fitzs' inter gallactic right hand) .
    Rahman is counted out lying face first Shavers style . No surprise here , Fitz was a product of his time , hard times produce tough starved men , with a higher tendency 2 osteoporosis due 2 malnutrition during their growth . But this is prime Fitz in here , whom wasn't detterred b d agonies of flesh . N all business Fitz tells George Foreman after d fight : 2 Months from now u give me a shot @ that belt ov yours :drink:drink

    I think it one of those cases of much the better fighter having too many physical attributes against them, Hasim did have a good Jab, and if he was to land anything like the right hand he landed to ko Lennox Lewis, Then Bob would be in dire trouble. So i feel Bob would not be up against a completly talentless galoot he could outfinesse.

    Seriously.

    Does anyone think Fitzsimmons hits as hard as Maskaev, Lewis, Sanders or Klitschko?

    Again, I ask where are the 170 pound POWERPUNCHING heavyweights in the last 40 years?

    Oh, and "Ed Dunkhorst".

    There. It's been said, so please no one else mention it.

    Think about it : training camp + pre fight jogging + all d long walk in2 d ring + climbing through d ropes and standing in there all d time while d announcers do their thing , d pre fight instructions and d hymns + a rd against Ruby Robert = exhausted Rahman , there is no refute from this argument .

    Is there a translator for this drivel? I think you have thoughts but can not discern them from your twitter-esque expression.

    I'm going to assume you are anointing me the supreme genius of modern times. And I will agree wholeheartedly.

    Rahman does whatever he pleases with Fitz, boxing moved on from the fledgling sport it was 1890, skills wise perhaps peaking in the 1940s, strength and power peaking today. Carl Froch probably beats every man Fitz beat but there's a reason he doesn't move upto HW today
