Good fight of two evenly skilled fighters. Smith probably had a tougher time coming up against the more mobile guys, but he would be facing a slower stationary guy in this matchup. Who wins?
Smith definitely wins if he comes out fast throwing punches. Like against Weaver and the 2nd Witherspoon fight. Otherwise Rahman has a chance to outwork him in a slow clinch filled fight. But Smith always has that chance of landing the equalizer.
Rahman had good skills in his prime good jab and decent movement (Tua fights).. Id say he was the better boxer than Smith... But Smith even hit harde, was bigger and had the way better chin.. I say Rahman takes a decent lead in this fight... BOnecruxher comes from behind to ko Rahmann in the mid rounds... BOnechrusher ko8... or hemight end it early
