    Foreman outboxes Rahman, with glimpses of a brawl sprinkled here and there with Foreman giving better then he gets.

    No, but he would have probably beaten him!

    Rahman steps in to Briggs place and manages to stop upright, to get himself a decision.

    Rahmans two KO defeats via the slow right hands of Oleg, leads me to believe he would get plastered by Old George if he tries to do anything but jab and grab.

    Jab and grab is more than good enough. Lewis and mauling fighters (Ruiz and Holyfield) were the only ones to go up on the cards against Rahman. Foreman didn't put away any decent big heavyweights during his comeback so Rahman deserves the benefit of the doubt if guys like Morrison, Stewart, Briggs, and Savarese all finished.
