    When he's fighting well, Rachman uses the jab to set up the straight right , and occasionally follows the right with a left hook. Hasim throws short hooks and uppercuts inside. The Rock has an upright stance , with his kness slightly bent. For lack of a better description, I'd say boxer/puncher fits him best.

    Hes a boxer puncher. He had a decent jab, poor defense, poor speed, and poor discipline. Very inconsistent fighter.

    A terrible Sonny Liston impersonation.

    boxer puncher, pretty good power and an impressive jab. Like everyone else has said, he's inconsistent and can't counterpunch. Poorly conditioned with an unimpressive chin. On his best nights he was dangerous, but his fame is based on running into an underprepared Lewis.

    Exactly. Although, with that glass jaw, he does specialize in getting starched in spectacular fashion.:yep

    Rahman is, well was, a pretty good fighter no mater what people say.

    Especially for a guy who started boxing at age 20.

    Rahaman was a decent boxer, his lack of an amatuer background is why he isn't so skilled and fast.

    A decent boxer, I wouldn't say puncher since his power is overrated from the Lewis KO. The Lewis KO was something normal in heavyweight fights, one perfect punch you don't see coming can end it there. Rahman hasn't KO'd anyone worth mentioning in similar fashion before and after the Lewis fight.

    He's a below average to average boxer. His Boxing style is "getting lucky".
