Could McCline be the guy to unifie the titles?

Just lost a split decision to Byrd. Had a chance to put him away early but ran out of steam. so the answer is no, obviously he is not the man to unify the division.

McCline's only chance is if he gains some much needed killer instinct!!! Also does anyone else think that Meehan and McCline have like the same exact style or is it just me??? :D Did anyone see the weigh in pictures of Rahman??? He looks like he is in great shape finaly!!! I say he stops Meehan within 2 rounds.

Could McCline be the guy to unifie the titles? Could McCline be the guy to unifie the titles? NO. He is a 270 pound weiner. He's probably crying right now thinking about his fight with Chris "WHOOOOOO!" Byrd. To his credit however, he'll wait to hyperventilate until his ring entrance.

McCline has NO chance of unifying the titles. When u see how much trouble he has with Byrd, he wouldn't last more than a couple of rounds with Vitaly... Rahman has a small chance, if he wants it bad enough and he can make people underestimate him, i think he's got a shot

Ok, if McCline can beat Byrd impressivly on Saturday, and thats a big if although I am picking McCline to win, could he unify the titles? If he does beat Byrd, that puts him in a good position to beat Ruiz/Golota winner. Ofcourse the big test would be Vitaly (assuming he's still champ). We all saw what happened when McCline fought Wlad., but Vitaly is a different kind of fighter so McCline's style may (or may not) match up better against the older brother. Also, since McCline lacks amateur experience, he has had to learn on the job and I'm pretty sure he learned alot from the Wlad. and from the Boswell fights. I'm not starting this thread because I'm a huge McCline fan, but I believe the HW division is wide open right now for someone to come conquer it. Also, athletic 6'7 260 pound guys that can let their hands go are hard to come by and McCline happens to be one of them. Thoughts anyone? Mccline is horrible.

McCline's problem isn't just mental-the guy is too muscled up and he is not fast. I don't even think his jab is that good (not that fast, he pushes it out a lot), and he leaves himself open to counters all the time. This was someone who almost got knocked out by Charles friggin' Shufford and then got awarded a horrible stoppage. Rahman is also just not good enough. Never learned to counterpunch, has poor defense, and has stamina problems. Also just doesn't put in a good work-rate and his handspeed is lacking as well. Not saying Klitschko is the man to do it but he sure has a better chance then these guys . . .

Call me stupid, But I think Rahman can come back and steal it..... Nah YO, RAHMAN = WILDCARD. He can come in the ring and get blown out by MAskaev. Or he can come in and KO Lennox Lewis. :D It all matters if he wants to be a fat lardass or in tip top shape.

mcline sucks... i dont think he could beat ruiz, much less VK.... and he'll probably be getting embarassed by byrd soon... as for rahman, he's done.... they guy has done nothing since winning the title from lewis... he's been KTFO by lewis, lost to holy and he's beaten a bunch of bums.... he hasnt looked good or fought anyone good in years... not to mention losing to ruiz already Tua is the only fighter who could take care of Ruiz..... It isnt a shame to lose to Ruiz no matter how much you hate him.

No. Hi will lose 13th of November... McCline is a coward (just look at him in the fight with Vladimir).

He is far from the man to do it.

Both crazy and stupid........no. Id give Rahman a better shot at Vit than Mcline, he was pissing his pants wlad, how do you think he will react against Vit? McCline has always been known to freeze when risen to the occasion, As soon as he sees someone hanging out on a limb and about ready to go Jameel backs off...He isnt vicious enough, I dont give him a chance against Vitali no chance in hell is what McClines got.... Id picture it be like the Kirk Johnson fight. *Side note* This is what is going to make the byrd vs mccline fight so entertaining, Jameel will have Byrd out on a limb and Byrd will throw crazy light fisted combinations and Mccline will retreat and back up.

i m not calling you crazy. like you , i think an in shape rahman can beat any HW out there. he is not the bigger heavy but he is strong enough to not being outmuscled and his right hand is deadly and quite fast. he can beat vitaly on a good night if vitaly is not well prepared.

Im not heavy into criticizing the lewis vs klitschko fight and found it best to keep my mouth shut about it. Lewis was training to fight a heavier guy and was a push over fight for him, so I am not surprised he came in heavy (possibly to lean on him?) I had klitschko up by a round or two, due to percentage of punches being thrown. Lewis was accurate and however the ball drops lewis tore his face up....If that was lewis's face everyone would say klitschko busted him up... My final thought: The fight ended halfway through (with good reason) their was still 6 rounds left and that leaves a lot of story to fulfill with half the tank full or half empty. Rahman, is the guy in the shadows if you ask me. He did it right he went on a comeback trail and got himself incredible shape. If he succeeds through Meehan chances are he will get brewster (maybe?) and that is another baby step towards the spotlight once more. Rahman is only getting better with these comeback fights, It shows in his shape and if he can keep the mental focus I believe he will be on top. Rahman doesnt want to be on the bottom no more, He was collecting less than 10,000 checks in his comeback fights. Im sure he isnt interested in that anymore. He also has incredible skills and isnt really a small guy, I think he could box klitschko if he showed up in shape and 100% focused and steal the title.... Klitschko isnt God as some look at him to be and Rahman probably has the most tools at heavy... Then again call me crazy. Both crazy and stupid........no. Id give Rahman a better shot at Vit than Mcline, he was pissing his pants wlad, how do you think he will react against Vit?

That's what I am talking about if Rahman can stay focused and keep his weight down I think he could be the one to unify the belts...He is the only one of the current heavyeights to beat Lewis....I don't care what nobody says it was only a matter of time until lewis knocked out klitscho, or knocked his eye ball out...

McCline doesn't have a chance in hell at unifying the titles. He's alot like Michael Grant in that he has all the physical tools, but he's mentally weak. Byrd will find a way to beat McCline tomorrow night.

Thoughts anyone? no chance in hell McCline can be "the one" He won't even beat Byrd. Byrd will totally outclass the overrated/underskilled Jameel. He is big and strong, but has very little boxing ability,

he was scared of wlad , he will shit his pants and froze in the first round if he faces vitaly. he is too big , he cant move and is damn slow. and doesnt hit that hard for someone his size. he reminds me of corey "t rex" sanders , a huge guy who can barely box .
