What’s Wrong With Hasim Rahman’s Face?

Is it just me, or does Hasim Rahman always look like he’s gunning for Rocky Balboa’s record for most structural facial damage? He lost to James Toney the other night on what should’ve been a headbutt-induced no-contest, but that’s not the point.

The point is that Rahman’s face usually looks like its been attacked by bees within two minutes of the first round.

Yeah, he’s had his share of damage throughout the years, but he’s more known for the cantaloupe that instantly grew out of his head against Evander Holyfield in 2002. Again, caused by headbutts.

It seems to me that Rahman’s career could’ve been among the greatest of all time, until his opponents figured out that if you Sgt. Slaughter him, you can get a win without throwing 100 punches.

That’s just nasty looking. Looks kind of like a giant blister.
