    Rahman was a hot and cold fighter he lost to fighters he wasn't supposed to and also struggled with some he wasn't supposed to either, but talent he had. Overconfidence was his problem I think, tho chincheckers might disagree lol.

    Bowe was rocked repeatedly by Herbie Hide. Yeah, Bowe was able to overpower him and stop him and dominate him, but Bowe took punches. Too many punches. And Rahman has PROVEN and legit 1 punch KO power.

    Rahman KO3 Bowe.:shock:

    Bowe in a rather easy fight. I am not a big Bowe fan, thought he was a chicken for avoiding Lewis, but Bowe's skill level was much greater than the limited Rahman.

    Never had anyone gotten so much out of one punch than Rahman did vs Lewis in their first fight.

    Hahaha, come on.:lol:

    I believe this might go on brawl. Sure Rahman could hurt Bower like he could hurt most of the hws ever but Bowe takes him out, right hand.:good

    Well tough one to call.

    Bowes prime was 2 yrs when he had 3 fights with Holyfield and threw his belt in the trash bin to duck Lewis

    When were Rahmans 2 best yrs. Maybe when he he KTFO Lewis and Sanders and had a couple other Cooper quality wins.

    If we gauge anyone against Bowes best yr, how does anyone beat him.:huh:huh:huh
    Well, you use their best year or so......and in this case Rahman <Bowe:yep:yep:yep

    Bowe was a much better fighter.

    Simply more talented and skilled.

    Rahman was complete garbage, he got lucky in the first fight with Lewis.

    Bowe is criminally overrated on these boards.. pretty even careers...
