Will Rachman be able to compete or even do better than Vitaly in the jabbing contest? His reach is 2 inches more than Klitzco's reach. Rachman has a powerfull jab when he throws it with conviction. What are your thoughts on this matter? Later brother brologs.

Rahman's jab is a good one, always has been. It's one of his better qualities as a boxer, and one of the reasons I've always liked him...I'm a sucker for a fella with a great jab. But against Klitchko, it might get him into more trouble than it keeps him out of. Klitchko likes to answer a jab with a right hand over the top of it, and he's big enough, and fast enough, for it to work well for him. If I were the Rock, I'd come out and use the jab some, and see how it works. If I get countered quickly and often (which is how I think it'll play out), I'd stop using the jab except to set up a big right, or as a tool to help me get inside. Otherwise it'll end up getting him KO'd.

Like the Pac/Morales fight - I wouldn't bet my money on this fight. I wouldn't be surprised if either guys KO's the other.

despite rahman having londer arms, he is still shorter which really takes that advantage away. and ya vitali pops people with a right hand if they jab at him, rahman will lose no chance at all to win
