    who would win in a street fight?

    Rahman looks like he would beat his ass easy ... definitely the stronger man

    Rahman was from the streets, probably been in more
    street fights and dangerous situations then Lennox.
    No holds barred, anything is possible.

    Well if Steward's comments are anything to go by Lewis has a mean streak. I would think that after boxing for more than 20 years or so and going after the likes of Ruddock, Golota and others, he's not likely to scare easy. And if he's worried about getting hurt, he gets agressive fast

    So what are you gonna do? out punch him?

    maybe a good wrestler could get him down and beat him, but Rahman doesn't stike me as the guy for that kind of thing. What you can bench in a gym isn't going to help you much if your on the receiving end of an over hand right. least it didn't seem to help Rahman much when it happened. I suppose if you get into things like eye gouging, biting etc. lewis might be out of his element, but I really don't know enough about Rahman's background to say how good of a street fighter he is, other than to say that being a weightlifter doesn't tell me much.

    I suspect that Ramhan would do very well against other champions in a street fight.

    Apparently i did read somewhere (ESB I think) that Rahman has a very rough background, he used to be a drug enforcer and hes been shot at numerous times.

    So has tim Westwood but it doesn't make him hard.

    People talk like Lewis came from Harrow straight into the fight game. Lewis had a rough enough start for most!!!
