Rashad might not be exciting but he can finish fights, and I think he finishes James in the first or second the same way he did Lambert.

I just dont think thats a good comparison. Irvin is much more skilled than he gets credit for...dont get me wrong he is not a very well rounded fighter but he does have a little skill on the ground where as melvin's ground game does not exist. I think Irvin actually has a couple submission wins in his career. I know its not his strength but he has a little skill there. Also rashad doesnt finish fights. he finished 2 people in his last 10 fights or something like that....i do agree though that Rashad may be to much for Irvin, but i still hope the sandman puts him to sleep via flying knee.
