    the only people that rate Hasim Rahman are the Lennox Lewis nuthuggers. The guy is terrible.

    Thats not true those were not even the the top fighters around after Mike got out of jail.The guys at the top when he first became champ were people like Thomas,Spinks,Berbick,Tubbs,Tucker,Smith.Mike beat all of these and most of the other top guys in the late 80s the only 2 i can think of that he did not are Witherspoon(never fought him)Douglas who he lost to.You could say Holyfield as well i suppose.When Mike lost to Douglas Bowe and Lewis were not even real contenders they became champs whilst Mike was in jail and if i remember rightly by the time he was released both had lost thier titles and Mike picked up where he left off untill he ran into fellow 80s fighter Holyfield who by that time had been written off completley having lost to both moorer and the rubber match with Bowe.The champs he beat after his jail term were Seldon and Bruno like it or not they were the men to beat cos they had belts.Lewis although considered a major threat to anyone was back in the role of contender and Bowe was pretty much a has been.Im guessing you are too young to remember Tyson in his prime it certainly was not after his release from jail.

    You's on crack homie! Rahman is no more than a glorified journeyman who got lucky with a killer punch. In better heavyweight eras someone like Rahman might not even crack into the top 10, so ranking him above Tyson is laughable to say the least.

    This aint got **** to do with rating Tyson high..

    Its just that no1 would rate him alongside the likes of 1hit wonder Hasbeen Rahman.
     
  12. I would like to see Tyson come out of retirement for a fight against Hasbeen Rahman:good just to see what happens..
    The smack talk at the press confrence and weigh in would be funnier than hell..:yep

    Rahman? Tyson's legacy was equal to him when he just beat Berbick. Rahman is only a little better than Ruiz since he beat a great in Lennox.

    Apparently one of is functionally ******ed. This question is like is if being burned alive is more painful than than getting a flu shot?

    Is the Pope Catholic? Does Bears **** in the woods? Do asian women have tight pussies? Is Tyson better than Rahman?

    Is anyone that stupid as to actually ask these questions?

    Yes, yes, yes, yes and yes.
