    Toney is 4+ years older than Rahman. And he came in awful shape in Rahman 1 to be honest, 237 lbs with a huge belly.

    It's quite possible that a hard, devastating light heavyweight or cruiserweight puncher can hit harder than an average or mediocre heavyweight puncher.

    Except its inaccurate.Corbett, Dempsey,Braddock,Johnson, Walcott,Fitzsimmons, all were ko'd by single shots
    But we are not saying Marciano loses because he is smaller we are just factoring that in, instead of ignoring it like the Elephant in the room as some Rockistas do. Miller is 40 lbs overweight ,Rahman was cut and a 220lbs heavyweight is big enough to beat anyone imo.

    Any lightheavyweight hit harder than Bob Foster? How did he do against the heavies? Is Rahman a mediocre puncher ? I don't think so! check him out against Corrie Sanders!

    Well let us suppose that Rahman, with an 84inch reach wins the long range battle.Now tell us how 185lbs 5.10" Rocky wins the inside one ?

    I would not be surprised if rahman did hit x2 harder than marciano literally. Who did hit harder is not even a debate

    But seriously, there are some big, strong and tough 15 year olds out there.

    Tyson was 185 pounds and was a very good amateur boxer but not specially strong compared with strong adult people

    Yeah but Foster didn't carry his power up with him too well. Foster may have hit harder than Patterson as a LHW, but certainly not as a HW

    Yeah right. Even at 185 pounds he was more muscular and solid than many men 20 years older than him. A few years ago, where I live, there was a 17 year old HS football player, who certainly wasn't as built as a teenage Tyson, but anyway, he body slammed the hell out of this security guard at his school. It was a big story locally because he had a scholarship to play football at Michigan State. But because of the bad press, they reneged the scholarship and he ended up spending a few months in the county jail.

    The incident was actually caught on video. And the security guard was well into his 20s.

    Well if AJ and Wilder fight this year, Wilder will be 33. Lewis was 34 when he poleaxed 27 year old Michael Grant. He was 34-35 years old when he sent Botha flying threw the ropes and 36 when he plastered 29 year old Rahman to the canvas.
