How do you know its not healthy for him weighing under 240?? he has much bodyfat at over 240. And hes loosing weight slowly! If he he stays busy im shure he can get down to 230 pounds with no problems! Hes a verry short guy you know, hes still verry massive at 230.
When he knocked out Sanders he was 246 pounds and was rocked solid. But he was a bit sluggish and slow. I have no problem with Rahman weighing 250 for this fight against Ryan, if he stays busy he will loose some more weight. Ryan will be no problem for Rahman.
Yes, there you go, it confirms what I said. The extra weight against Sanders did him no favours, even though he didn't look flabby. He was able to, in my view even if a couple judges seemed obvious to it, outbox Tua when he was in the 250 lb range. So Rahman can still work at a heavier weight...it just really doesn't help him out to do so.
Just watched Rahman vs. Tua 1 and i was suprised how good Rahman was, he was much faster as hes today and he boxed verry well. But against a prime Tua he got knocked out in round 10. But it was a ggod fight of rahman and his first loss. he looked better in there than in any other fight IMO. Today hes much more sluggish, even when he was in great shape in the Toney and the Maskaev 2 fight! He must be doing something wrong or hes just shot as a fighter.
It shouldn't have been a loss, should've been either a DQ win or given the required 5 minutes of recovery time...and he should've won the second fight about 8-4...but Rahman's luck when it comes to Tua is all bad. Which is why I'm wondering if he'd really want a third go-around! Probably knock Tua out of the ring, only for Tua to land on an accidently yet conveniently-placed trampoline, bounce back in and knock Rahman cold with a flying uppercut. Although I accept that might be long odds Order of the day for both guys is quick KOs. Tua's gained a lot of popularity here thanks to the highlight reel knockout on Montana, but that shouldn't smokescreen his displays against Hawkins, Wheeler and Salif...I have no idea whatever what kind of fighter Fox is (although 8-5 says a lot), but Tua needs to crush him.
I don't about that any time a man as big and as powerful a wal hits you enough time, something got to give ,, I am most likely alone on this but I think Wal can certainly hit hard enough and often enough to TKO Tua or KO him.
Great post, especially the part about the trampoline. With the crazy stuff that has happened in Hasim's fights in the past, anything is possible.
