I think RAHMAN has a serious chance at beating vitali much better than william's lol.....I know alot of you guys dont agree but if rahman comes in in shape.....he could definitely compete with vitali

agreed. if rahman could work his jab and setup his right, watchout

I think Byrd or Ruiz deserve to fight Vitaliy in the first place.


What is so remarkable that Rahman did lately?


Oh, yeah, he defeated Kylie Megan (or whatever his name was). That's terrific.

Maybe Rahamn should get a belt first and earn a right at the WBC title shot.

I would love to see Rahman-Maskaev II before I see Rahman against Vitaliy.

Rahman would give VK a good fight but wouldn`t win. I guess Rahman`s right hand gives him a chance....but only one!
VK KO 6 Rahman!

No,No,No,No. We need the belt holders to fight each other so that there can be a undisputed heavyweight champion not a repeat of Novembers heavyweight exstravaganza. We need a tournament to unify the belts and winner takes all. :mad:

but make it a different format, not like a tournament, but each fight unifies 2 divisions :)

so after the first bout, 2 boxers will have 2 belts

then the SUPER FIGHT

im saying it now RAHMAN WILL BEAT KLITSCHKO if he comes in shape

And so will Danny Williams. Don't you people ever stop? Go watch Sanders/Rahman in the DL section and tell me that Rahman is going to beat Vitali.

KO , TKO, or Decision?

Or Maybe Vitali vs Golota? That would be a good fight.
Byrd, Ruiz, or Golota would be nice, Rahman too.
I know like you said, When Rahman destroyed Meehan it was nothign special, but he is still a good fighter, I think it would be nice to see Rahman vs Vitali

I think they should unify first

Fighting vs Rahman will be more difficult for Vitali, than with Williams. Hasim possesses knocking out hook. Therefore his chances to win will be higher than at Williams. But I believe, that Klitschko knocks out the Rock at 9-11 roundes.

i would like to see this fight, but lets remember what kind of fighter rahman beat his last fight, but then again williams wasnt the hardest opponent. if rahman stays focued it would be an interesting fight.

Isn't James Toney mandatory now?

Except for Williams KO'd Meehan is 32 seconds.

I want to see this fight for one reason: It's the only competitive fight out there for Vitali. Let's face it, Byrd is simply not going to beat Vitali. Why pay to see Vitali-Brewster when I can go to LA and watch Vitali hit the heavybag? John Ruiz, 'nuff said. Rahman is the only fighter out there with a serious shot at beating Vitali.

i totally agree.....all it is coming in in shape and being dedicated.....the whole world knows that vitali is not that a good boxer but rather a giant with the obvious advantages.

Rahman's victory over Meehan was impressive TO SEE...but in light of the fact that it was Meehan he was smacking silly....it's not really impressive, overall.


Rahman COULD be trouble for Vitali, if he's in the best shape possible, & if he is ON.
But....it's more likely he'll have trouble getting to Vitali, & will get pounded.
he can be hurt, also.

Rahman definatly has the power to be in with a shot and he is a tough guy. It would be an interesting fight.

Rahman definetley has more ko power imo.

Rahman definetley has more ko power imo.

Definatly, the way he knocked out Lennox impressed me.

but the thing with that fight is it was in south africa.
Rahman was smart by showing up and starting his training a month in advance at the scheduled time of the fight (4am S.A. time)

Lewis on the other hand wasn't even serious about it, he was filming Ocean's 11 and didn't come to train until a week before the fight.

He Did however prepare for the 2nd fight and look what happened.


BTW.. won't VK have a guaranteed rematch pretty much??

It would be nice to see them both fight again.

i think rahman has pulled a sharmba mitcehll on a lot people.... he hasn't beaten a good opponent in over 3 years... he's lost to ruiz and OLDLYFIELD... so he's looked good beating 5 or 6 BUMS, doesn't mean he's not the same guy that lost to ruiz....

I agree with that. But Vit-Byrd and Rahman-Maskaev very good too.

I agree. It amazes me how the same people who are still reluctant to crown Vitali the heavyweight king think that the real king is Rahman.

rahman can KO vitali i believe. his confidence is back, and if he comes it around 230-40 watchout vitali

Rhaman has done nothing to deserve a title shot. Vitali sould uunify the belts, fight Toney and then maybe Rhaman.

Williams did nothing to deserve a shot.
Rahman will actually battle VK,not just act like a punching bag.

Unless Don King dies, Rach, Byrd, or Ruiz will not be entering the ring with Vitali anytime soon. They will have to eventually, but King is going to delay it as long as possible.

Sad, but true.

Im sad to say your right.

king will let rachman face VK, cause he won't have anything to lose and a title gain

Klitschko will KO Rahman. Too smart a fighter, throws too many punches, and Rahman leaves his left too low after he jabs, doesn't throw enough punches, isn't fast, is not a good counterpuncher, doesn't have very good stamina and Klitschko will counter his lazy lefts with right hands to the temple all night. Rahman was never anything special-he's a charismatic guy but I'll actually be pleased when Vitali removes another comebacking misfit from the HW scene . . .

I would obviously pick Klits to win the bout, but I give Rahman a decent shot at the upset. VK is begging to be hit with the overhand right the way he keeps the left low and Rahman has the punch to pull it off. Actually one of the more intriging fights for Klits IMO.

ps- the whole division is a bunch of misfits

One thing Rahman might be able to do is to help put more of a perspective on Vitali's chin..
it seems VK has a good chin, maybe even a great one, but being tested by Rahman might help to prove that either right or wrong.

other than that, I don't see the fight amounting to much.
not like a fight with Toney, where there's so much buzz and trash talking going on :)
