Rahman is a bum now that woulda been considered a bum by most throught his caeer if it hadnt been for one "lucky" punch against Lewis. I really couldnt careless about the Heavyweight division its full of garbage except for the Klitchskos.
He was only #1 because of the lucky shot he landed on Lewis. Rahman isn't very good otherwise, and Wlad Klit is robotic. All this adds up to a potentially boring fight, so no wonder not too many people are interested.
I'll become interested in the heavy division when Haye fights again.
Still a chance Rahman could land lucky again.
But yer over all Wlad should really get past him ok.
Roll on the Hayemaker's next fight.
FRKO my man, were partaking in a race to 3k posts!!
This fight is getting about a third of the attention that Klitschko-Thompson got. And Rahman was the #1 heavyweight in the world at one point!
I can't believe you're surprised at this.
I would be stunned if this fight was competitive (I do not think stunned would even really cover my reaction maybe flaberghasted), that is the main reason I am not that excited. I hope there is a sweet knockout, a nasty knockout is the best you can hope for in this fight.
I was more excited for the Wlad-Thompson fight because Thompson is a credible opponent, Rahman not so much. It is on short notice though I don't blame him for fighting Rahman, because Wlad should look like a Ukranian Superman against Rahman.
Big Vitali is a gentleman, and Haye was very respectful to him.
and I don't know if you saw but Haye said 'The Klitschko's were brilliant fighters and that he wants to fight them'
I think you've got Haye all wrong imo. Completely wrong. He's eloquent but he is confident and yeah he likes to take the piss.
He's just brutally honest he said before Barrett if he loses he'd quit 'what would be the point if I can't even beat Barrett' were his exact words.
Haye battled to be put on the pedastal and the Klitschko's have let him stay on it.
......Well, it does seem that Wlad realizes that the heavies need personalities like Haye. In fact, I think Wlad kind of gets a kick out of Haye's antics. I wouldn't be surprised if all of the "confrontations" from this point forward are carefully planned by Wlad, Vit, and Haye.
Why should we care about this fight or any other fight when it comes to the HW division. I wanna see 2 guys slug it the **** out, Theses HW champs are wack and the fact that until someone beats one of the brothers kiltschko, there wont ever be a unified champ
I care about this fight! In fact I'm EAGERLY ANTICIPATING it.
After all the trash talking Rahman did about Vitali, I can hardly wait to see Wlad put him on the canvas! :boxing:
I'm happy Wlad is having three fights this year instead of his usual two, and I think this is a good fight to help clean up the heavyweight division! :fing02:
good point actually all the old guard who don't seem to be taking the game seriously need to be ushered out the door.
guys like Toney and Tua, Evander Holyfield et al.
.....I care deeply. I'm especially curious to see David Haye talking shit during and after the fight. Big Vit may bitch slap him before he gets going good.

Hey man, that's bullshit and you know it!!!! Everyone knows he'll throw a right hand by about the 7th or 8th round.
I know! You are right man, but I fell asleep before that bit.

Unless Rahman can really land jabs with authority or hit Klitschko with a big right, then yeah, it may be easy work for Klitschko. Rahman is a big strong guy with tools though, so you never know. I'll never forget one of the commontaters at Lewis vs Rahman II: ''It's not like Rahman just came in off the street and hit a home run, he's not a bad operator'', or something to that effect.
Klitschko will still have to be careful.
I think that Lewis KO was a complete fluke tbh.
A complete and utter fluke.
Rahman is a decent operator for sure but he's not an elite fighter at imo. The guy simply can not throw whilst the other guy is, that always makes me question how good a fighter is.
Is Riddick Bowe really on the undercard? How was he cleared to fight? Guy was done after the Golota fights. Guy cant even speak clearly anymore and has had two fights since 1996.

I was thinking about this, but I guess it's understandable. I'm looking forward to the fight, but I think it's safe to say that Klitschko should take home the victory.
