Raheem isn't that much of a risk. He isn't avoided because he's a huge risk. Winky was avoided because he is a huge risk.

It's that he's completely one dimensional, throws one punch at a time, and has awful balance which makes for terrible fights that nobody likes. He just isn't that good of a fighter. He looked good beating Morales, but that was because Morales was a shell in the ring that night. In his follow up, he goes out and bent over at the hip every fight.

The guy he was fighting was made for a fast, accurate counterpuncher like Zahir Raheem should be. He was wide open and leading with his head, yet Raheem threw nothing as he was coming forward. He would either scoot away or tie up.

Then when Raheem was on the outside and the guy wasn't charging forward, he would lunge in with one punch and tie up.
