Hasim Rahman

Hasim Rahman will always be linked to one of boxing's great upsets, but reducing him to a single punch sells him short. Born in Baltimore in 1972, he fought from 1994 to 2014 and became a two-time world heavyweight champion, holding the unified WBC, IBF, IBO and lineal titles in 2001. What strikes me is how hard the heavyweight division was in his era and how he kept clawing back into the top ten for years. That longevity speaks to real grit. I see him as proof that one unforgettable night can define a career while a body of work quietly earns the respect.
