    Rahman had great power but lacked aggression, he couldn't even overwhelm Oleg...for ****'s sake.

    Goddamn chin obsessed armchair experts.

    Norton mauls Rahman.

    RE: Rahman

    That and lets face it, the Lewis ko for credentials. Pretty thin, after that. And lots of koby results.

    Rahman outpointed Puritty , stopped Sanders , Lewis and Wooden .
    Who did Norton stop badly ? Quarry ? I think I should rewatch it for ensuring it was a decent stoppage or at least the end.
    Norton also had the weaker chin .

    Rahman wins.
    Norton might lead but will sooner or later gets stopped , if the fought a sufficient number of times , he might outpoint Rahman on the minority of cases , but then could be outpointed himself as well.

    Norton should win this with work rate, Rahman had his KO's Lewis for one but he was not a monster puncher all the time and could be lazy....Ken could be stopped if he is pressured but Maskaev and Toney and even Sanders (who did not do any running for this fight) was beating him till he ran out of gas and Hasim could be plodding slow and stiff.
