Max Baer vs Hasim Rahman

baer should win. i don't think he does. his technique is among the worst in filmed history. massive power, physically superior but i see him clowning away a decision loss once rahman's jab starts hitting home.

baer COULD knock rahman out but he never did it to a fighter as good as lewis, even a fat south african lewis

 

Baer would win if he took this fight half way seriously.

 

which i wouldn't put money on, even the best baer

 

That's quite an excuse.

If you don't take things seriously you just don't have what it takes.

 

What has Ramhan got to bring to the table?

 

better jab, equal physical strength.

baer has superior right hand power but either man can knock the other out.

if i watch baer and rahman, best night, back to back, i certainly wouldn't say baer is technically superior. nor threw better combinations

 

Rahman is under-rated. At his peak he was excellent. See the Tua fight.

Never an ATG or a threat to the greatest of his era (When motivated) but very good. I think Baer is too open for that straight right hand, I really do.

 

Rahman's better technically, had a good, thudding jab at his best and nice power. Still, Baer at his best likely soaks up some punishment before lowering the hammer. Baer could take what Rahman could dish out, and I just don't think the reverse is true. Baer TKO9, down on points when it ends.

 

Baer had a far better chin, and hit harder too. He KOs Rahman within a few rounds.

 

Baer by ko

 

Did someone say that Rahman couldn't KO Baer, even if he landed flush?

Rahman had huge power in his right hand, just massive.
