Hasim Rahman vs Buster Douglas who wins?

Question

Both pulled out massive upsets against Lewis and Tyson to become the heavyweight champ, and then both lost the titles soon after. What would happen if they had fought each other?.

Answer 1

RAHAM - W 41 (KO's 33) TF 49 - W pct 87% - KO pct 67% - wins over Lewis, Berbick and Ferguson - KO'ed Holyfield, Lewis, Maskaev[2] and Tua

DOUGLAS - W 38 (KO's 25) TF 46 - W pct 87% - KO pct 54% - wins over Cobb, Page, Tyson, McCall and Tyson - KO'ed by Bey, Tucker, Holyfield and 2 others

It depends on what Douglas will appear for this fight. Both fighters were KO'ed 5 times. Both men will visit the canvas in this bout. I have Raham winning by a 10 rd KO.

Answer 2

Interesting question sir! The Buster Douglas who shocked the world with his tremendous upset of Tyson was great that night using a superior jab and not running away from Tyson as other opponents had, Rahman exposed Lewis's china chin and caught him with a good shot also winning in an upset. Douglas is a much better boxer and when he was in condition was a very good fighter. I believe that he would have chopped Rahman down and knocked him out in 10 rounds at his best.

Answer 3

If the Buster who beat Tyson shows up he would beat Rahman but if I had to bet my money I would pick Rahman a 12 round decision

Answer 4

Rahman. Douglas was a slob with a good jab. Lennox Lewis would have destroyed Buster Douglas.

Answer 5

Douglas. I mostly agree with toughguy except for the part about Douglas winning by knockout. In my opinion, Rahman is tough enough for it to go to a decision but just doesn't have the speed to get the win.

Answer 6

the masterful display that buster showed while defeating mike was just that..masterfull. the rock would not have beaten buster on his beat night.

Answer 7
