    Hasim "The Rock" Rahman has had a hell of a ride, for someone who should have never really made it big. He won a closet full of belts, IBF Intercontinental, USBA, WBU, IBO, 2 WBC belts, the IBF title. He fought literally a who's who of the sport, from Lennox Lewis, to Keli Meehan, to Holyfield, Maskaev, Tua, Ruiz, Toney, ect. He won some big, and lost some big. Lewis paid him back for Thunder in Africa, but no one can take away that night from him. He had about as successful a career as one can hope for. But last night showed me his heart is no longer in it. Andrew Golota, his last time out fought with one eye and pulled out the V. Say what you will about Golota, that was sheer guts. :good

    Yes, on Fox Sports Network's "Best Damn Sports Show Ever" Put away your copy of DLH-Forbes, and quit mastrubating for a bit, and maybe you can watch some other fights.

    Who did he fight? How did he do? I bet Hasim "Vitali Klitschko is afraid of me" Rahman really kicked some ass right?

    He lost to James "The Father of Hopkins" Toney via 3rd round TKO. I am actually pulling for Fat Sam to kick Frankenstein's Ass in October so Toney can get his vengeance.

    He isnt a moron, but is such an Oscar fan boy that he doesnt pay any attention to other fights. He reminds me of a casual female "fan" of boxing, who only watches the sport to drool over DLH.

    **** off Piffer! I'm ****ing around with him so I'm a ****ing moron. I know he fought. He showed up overweight and he fought James Toney who showed up overweight. They fought a boring ass fight that shoulda been ruled a NO Contest. There ya go, did I pass the test now. Rahman shoulda retired after he lost to Maskaev and Toney shoulda retired after he lost to Peter...which was still overdue. Neither guy matters in the division right now and neither will ever be the #1 heavy.

    Agreed. Time to RE-tire. Reminisce about Thunder in Africa, while you polish those Championship Belts on a rocking chair.

    Hey, you actually did see the fight! See Hito, other fighters exist besides the Golden Panties. Now go back to your room, and take down the Oscar poster off of the ceiling. :hi:
