Rhaman just cause!weaver another 80's slick boxer but rhaman a bigger 90's rough boxer,i give the edge too.
Rahman but only if he's at his absolute best. I think his big right hand will find Weaver's shakey chin! His best win the one punch KO win over Lennox Lewis trumps anything Weaver accomplished in my eyes. Weaver had some good wins and was tough in most of his lossss but I'll take the Rock.
I see Rahman well a head going into the late rounds but Weaver getting the KO at some point passed the 10th...
If Rahman comes in focused and on fire, I take him. He was surprisingly good when he put his mind to it. I don't think Weaver can take his power.
Rahman has one of the worst chins of the last 20 years. Weaver blasts him out in the mid to late rounds.
Yeah kinda hard to favor a guy who got stopped twice by Oleg Maskaev over a prime Mike Weaver. Still a good fight though if both guys show up in top form.
A prime and focused Rahman still gets KOed by Weaver. Mike a much more talented boxer and a bigger puncher with both hands.
I'll go with Rahman. Shaky vote of course. But whenever picking Hasim or Mike, it'd always be a shaky vote. I like the jab of Rahman to get the job done. Like it, but sure don't love it. I think he lands it pretty much at will and drops a right hand in there at some point. Weaver had some of the slowest hands so Maybe Rahman can avoid getting beat to the punch or having to eat a left hook. The other thing is sometimes Weaver was a deadly bodypuncher. And sometimes it looked like bodypunching was on par with Muhammad Ali's. If he can land some hard body shots, I sure do not see Hasim absorbing that kind of body punishment whatsoever. So I guess the biggest punch in the fight would be the lefthook to the body by Weaver. If he lands them, he comes upstairs with a hook and it'd be all over. If he doesn't land to the body, he eats jabs and fights at that 2nd gear pace of his and gets outboxed.
