	Hasim Rahman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Rahman apparently won most of the first eight rounds and appeared to be on his way to victory when Tua staggered him with a punch after the bell in the ninth round.
		Rahman's next fight took place on June 1, 2002 against former champion Evander Holyfield, as both men sought another shot at Lewis, or failing that, a chance to fight for the WBA belt that Lewis had earlier vacated.
		Rahman was favored, but appeared to be out of shape; he lost by (twelve round) unanimous decision on December 13.

		Rahman steps in and whips an uppercut to the jaw of Douglas, sending him crashing to the canvas.

		Hasim was first scheduled to challenge WBC world champion Vitali Klitschko on April 30 for the title, but the fight was postponed and rescheduled twice - on June 18 and July 23 - due to injuries sustained by Klitschko.

	BoxingTimes.com - Hasim Rahman vs. James Toney Preview
		Rahman established his left hand early and with 1:39 to go in the second round he snapped Barrett's head back with a left jab that resembled a heavy piece of lumber.
		Rahman eased off the throttle much of 8th and Barrett capitalized on his lack of leather by jolting the interim champ with a sharp left hook to the jaw.
		Rahman's legs wobbled, his body sagged and he was genuinely hurt, however, once again Barrett was unable to follow up with another meaningful blow.

	Maskaev stops Rahman in 12th round - Boston.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Rahman (41-6-2), obviously hurt after setting the pace early on, desperately tried to hold on until the final bell, even grabbing Maskaev's leg as he stumbled to the mat.
		Rahman was the only U.S.-born heavyweight champion left in a division long dominated by Americans; Maskaev, born in Kazakhstan, is a naturalized citizen who lives in Staten Island.
		Maskaev matched Rahman's pace and landed his share of hard shots in a heavyweight fight that turned out to be much more entertaining than the division's dismal reputation would suggest.

	Hasim Rahman Boxing Glove Autograph
		Rahman explains that when his teachers sent him to the next grade to provide more challenges for him in subjects where he excelled, the older boys took that as a slight, and the inevitable schoolyard fights ensued.
		Rahman pursued the backpedaling Lewis and landed a punch that elicited a smile from the champion indicating he was not hurt-a telltale sign that the punch had, in fact, caught Lewis's attention.
		Rahman, probably the most physically gifted heavyweight in boxing, was very unhappy with his performance and decided to re-dedicate himself to the sport winning his last four bouts.
