I think Toney can slip inside Rahman's jabs and counter. needs to come in a bit lighter, otherwise he can fall off balance when he moves forward. positioning will be crucial, considering HR's reach.
Toney hates Rahman, so he'll want to do a proper job on him. they had a row thru the media in 2003. rahman thought he was an arrogant prick for moving up to heavyweight, & said he was lucky to beat Jirov. toney made the point in his eloquent way that like all heavies, rahman is shit
if rahman gets lazy with the jab, Toney's going to rocket well timed right hands over it. i don't know if rahman has the consistency to really show toney anything for more than a few rounds. i think he'll go very quiet when things get tricky.
plus, with Toney being the King fighter, if it's close he'll get the decision, imo
