    I'm picking Coetzee on points in a fight where both guys go down. Thoughts?

    The best of both men? The Coetzee of the Spinks & Dokes fights vs the Rahman of the Lewis fight?
    Coetzee's two victories were legit...Rahman's was a fluke...as proven by a Lewis in their rematch.
    Coetzee ko's Rahman in 6, courtesy of his bionic right hands...one which decks Rahman in the 6th prior to the ko a few moments later.

    I'll go with Coetzee here, probably by some form of stoppage

    Underrated a bit imo.

    Gerries bionic hand smacks Rahman to the floor out of nowhere.

    Lewis would lay out Coetzee and Rahman beat Sanders before Lewis, who was thoroughly better than Spinks. Not sure where you're going with that logic.

    I won’t choose a winner but I’m fairly confident that this would be an exciting fight either way. Two tough brawlers who likes to mix it up. If they ended up having multiple meetings I wouldn’t be surprised to see mixed results either way.
