    Only Klit has far less variety than Holmes. Sure he'd eat jabs and the odd straight right.

      I wouldn't say no threat, Rahman is still strong. I think he'll give a better fight than people think. Remember, only Lennox Lewis has ever just blasted Rahman out.

        That odd straight right hand hurts like a *****. And he hits you on the end of the punch, so you're still at medium range and not in close after he throws it.

          I thought James Tony blasted him out pretty good myself. Quitting like a ***** is the same as getting KO'd in my book.

              Arreloa gets ruined if he fights Wlad right now, but it would be an actual fight. Unlike the Rock fight. Rock has to pray for a wild shot to get through before he gases out. I doubt he even tries very hard. Arreloa may not be very good, but at least he would go down swinging.

                Arreola is fighting on 29the November for the IBF spot No.1

                So Wlad did not have this choice.

                Rahman is the next available contender without a fight. So this fight make sense.

                  if rahman fights wlad it'll put me to sleep, if the nipple fights wlad it'll be quick and exciting. i'd rather see someone in there who will try to win, areole is my choice

                    He definitely is competition wise, but if he wants to appeal to more American fans, Rahman is probably the way to go, people still remember him for knocking Lewis out.

                      I choose Rahman, Arreola is not yet tested.. IMO He needs to have 2-3 more fights before fight Wlad.....
