"Rahman, you are the heavyweight champion of the world....at talking.

Rahman has a chance remember he is long armed. Secondly he Kncoked Lennox Lewis's jaw off of his head. Lewis couldnt beat the count and didnt even know what happened. If you re-watch the fight you will see the first things that Lennox says is what happened. He didnt even know that he had been knocked out. Having said that Rock obviously has some punching power. He has the possibility of beating Klitchko. It isnt as one sided as you all may think. Its not like a pacman vs. barrera fight or a winky vs trinidad. Besides that Klitchko is only good at guys who don't punch back and are fat and outta shape. To top all of that Klitchko hit Lewis on the jaw with tons of right hands and did lewis go out? no Rock is not the best opponent but really the whole division is shit right now. Its a travesty when two former middleweights (Byrd and Toney) have to be crowned as champs (Toney has not yet but he probably will be soon (Albeit of his crowning and dethroning after the ruiz fight). and a guy who really should be like a cruiserweight or a light heavy. (Lamont Brewster). In the Rematch Rock's problem with Lennox was not Lennox it was his poor trainer. I have never liked Adrian davis and he is a shitty trainer. I am willing to bet my money and points on Rock. Let me break some truth on you... don't get me wrong, i liked seeing Lewis starched on the mat, still trying to throw punches on his back.. BUT this is the truth... Lewis got rocked because he didn't take the fight seriously, he was filming a movie (Ocean's 11) and not training, the fight took place at like 4 am local time, about a mile above sealevel (thinner air, less endurance) Lewis didn't take any of it seriously, as the Rock was there training at the elevation and time for a month in advance.... good call by the Rock.. BUT when the reality hit, where Lewis did at least half-way train and the match was set, it was an obvious and true one-sided fight. (their rematch)

yea,,,just like he whupped the mighty john ruiz and old holyfield. thanks for the comedy. rahman's only chance is to cut vitali and get a cheap win like byrd and lewis did name a current heavy that has been undisputed champion of the world. vitali will get shocked.

Are these people who are saying Rahman is VK's toughest title defense the same people who said Rahman-Barrett would be a "great" fight?

I don't really like either fighter much personally but I do think Rahman can win this....It will be by far VK toughest title defense and fight since he fought Lewis.I like the Rock to TKO him by the 6th or 7th that is my pick and I am sticking to it.Good luck to both....Looking forward far more to Wlad/Peter at this point though. :D

why does rock seem closer to VK's height in the 2nd picture than in the first?? They cut out just the heads and moved Rahman's up (look at the background on the first and second pictures. It's tilted in the second. Promo tools and techniques :rolleyes:

Byrd didnt get a cheap win. He stayed int he fight and Klitchko quit. Byrd cant control someone elses actions. Klitchko quit on his own no one made him do it. So it wasnt cheap. Byrd was losing on all scorecards so Klitcko only had to carry the fight to the final round and he would have had it. He choose to quit. he's a smart guy and there was 3 rounds left. he may have ruined his career by continuing. it was a gift for byrd and a cheap win. if you cant see that youre a moron

rahman is going to beat vitali, rahman looks to be in great shape and he is motivated like he has never been before. rahman KO 7 yea,,,just like he whupped the mighty john ruiz and old holyfield. thanks for the comedy. rahman's only chance is to cut vitali and get a cheap win like byrd and lewis did

rahman is going to beat vitali, rahman looks to be in great shape and he is motivated like he has never been before. rahman KO 7

well at least he's experienced enough to get a decent pay day to retire with... I'd do it too if I had the chance to step in the ring with THE BEST HEAVYWEIGHT TODAY.

Klitschko is gonna murder this guy. Rahman doesn't have the physical tools or the mental toughness to hang with VK.

Vitali does not look very happy. He is usually an easy going guy but I think the last thing anyone should attempt to do is awaken a sleeping giant. Rahman is going to get destroyed. "I must break you"

You read all these contradictions when it comes to press conferences. One site says that Rahman disrespected Vitali and then another one says that Rahman supposedly said this ``He showed tremendous heart in his fight with Lennox Lewis, and he did show desire,'' Rahman said. ``He proved he was a champion. I really respect this man. I really feel like he can hurt me if I come with any less than my A-plus game.'' What the fuck?

why does rock seem closer to VK's height in the 2nd picture than in the first?? Look at the words on the wall behind them... the picture is tilted so it appears that they are eye to eye.

I believe that brawl was started by a personal favorite Hasim Rahman quote, directed at Lennox Lewis: "You're gay." yeah, lewis hated rahman... even after knocking rock out, you could tell lewis hadnt forgived him.... during the post fight interview, rock tried congratulate him and lewis just nodded his head with a "yeah, whatever" look...

i'm talking about rahman... he talked a lot of trash before his rematch with lewis... him and lewis even got into a brawl on espn's interview show.. then rock got punk'd when it came down to the fight.. he couldn't even lay a glove on lewis... I believe that brawl was started by a personal favorite Hasim Rahman quote, directed at Lennox Lewis: "You're gay."

if there is one thing rahman can do is not to piss off vitali

...Rahman wore that long shirt so nobody could see the wet spot from where he pissed his pants. ROFL! Have some karma.
