About as good of a slugfest as you can get. I initially picked Rahman ( which could happen ) but then I remembered how Lyle battled Foreman and Shavers within a four month period beating one of them and giving the other absolute hell. So I changed my vote to Lyle but really it’s up for grabs. Great fight
Rahman has the actual better wins and he's considerably bigger. At his best, I think he draws a chalk line around Lyle. In real life, Rahman could be inconsistent and Lyle would have a decent chance at beating a flat version of Rahman.
I'm going with Lyle because I think he had a better chin I can't see Lyle getting stopped twice by Maskaev. But saying that Rahman did win a war vs Sanders and did well vs Tua who was a big puncher. Close match up IMO.
