Not great never will be

Haseem Rachman's claim to fame is that he knocked out a out of shape boxer to become the heavyweight champion of the world. He hasn't won a big time fight since and was quickly knocked out in the rematch with Lennox Lewis. He entered the ring against Maskaev in terrific shape but for some odd reason he did not have the stamina to overcome Maskaev's assault and was knocked out yet again. With this loss, I dismiss Rachman from ever being a threat to be champ again. He could have used his jab all night long against Maskaev and won the fight but instead he decided to trade with Maskaev was sent back to mediocrity.
