    Toney doesn't have enough power to take advantage of Rahman's glass jaw, but he might be able to outwork him.

    Toney by close UD

    Rahman is much less shot than Toney is and like Zakman said, Toney probably wouldn't be able to crack his weak chin. At this point, Toney isn't outworking anybody.. he's like Shannon Briggs without the power. Rahman clear UD.

    Rahman won that fight IMO. I'd think he'd beat Toney more decisively the next time.

    Agreed. Rahman still has power since it's one of the last traits to go in an aging fighter & he he the proper technique to land on Toney who is too immobile in his old age.

    I'd rather they both just faded into Bolivian.

    I'd pull for another draw.

    Same result as before: Rahman outworks Toney, but this time more convincingly and wins the decision.

    Toney has already been caught cheating twice. He should be banned.

    Slight edge to Toney.

    I know the June fight with Batchelder was a long time ago and against a journeyman, but James was looking good.

    'Course, he was roiding, too.

    Rahman deserved the verdict in their first encounter. In another fight, it would play out the same. Rahman would outwork Toney while Toney would throw much less, but land the cleaner shots. Toney is completely done at this point though and Rahman, as little as it may be, still has a tiny bit left to offer. His punch output would win him the fight.
