Mike Tyson vs. Hasim Rahman.

Hadn't he dumped King by this point?

 

Yes he did but King was willing to work with Shelley Finkel at that point, anyone and anything to keep Lennox Lewis out of the mix.

I said Tyson didn't decline a rematch. Does it say anywhere that Tyson declined a rematch?

You're just irritating now.

Tyson 2005 KO3 prime Rahman

 

No idea what you guys are seeing. 2001 Tyson was not a good fighter. At that point both guys were extremely one dimensional and both had a punchers chance at winning and nothing more

 

That’s the spirit

 

Rahman was strong but so was James Broad. So was Butterbean. I mean, so was Louis Monaco. See where I'm headed?

Tyson was just on another level compared to the Rahmans of the world. Even the fat Tyson who bludgeoned the blubber off of Brian Nielsen. Who knows but I have a feeling Nielsen might've been tougher than Rahman.

Besides his life and death, up off the floor-down on the floor-and up off the floor again, free swinging break dance Krush Groove battle against Corrie Sanders and the Africa upset against Lennox Lewis, Rahman has beaten Monte Barrett by UD and beat blown up cruiserweight Alfred "Ice" Cole by UD.

THAT'S. IT.

Rahman lost to everyone else that mattered: KO'd in 11 by David Tua, KO'd in 7 by Oleg Maskaev, KO'd in 4 by Lennox, Lumped up in 6 by Holyfield, Draw in 12 to Tua, Lost UD12 to John friggin Ruiz, Draw in 12 to James Toney, KO'd in 12 to Maskaev AGAIN, No Contest with Toney, and KO'd in 7 by Wlad.

Pitting Rahman against Cliff Etienne, Shannon Briggs, Alexandre Zolkin and Frans Botha are all pick ems to me and could go either way. That's the level he's at.
