lol Wlad is riding high after a k.o of tony thompson. Whos a bigger name and a better fighter; Tony Thompson or Former undisputed world champion Hasim Rahman? he might not be the best, but its not the ridiculous mismatch this article claims it to be, and to be honest, theres not much better at heavyweight without fighting his own blood (or david haye, but we all know hes not going to do that )

TK's not so a subtle snide comments on V Klitschko

....."avoided and backed out from fighting him, and suddenly retired for 4 years".....

This is, on the face of it, more to be absorbed, not because of it's wonderful words of wisdom and fact, but because of the lack of them. I really thought tha TK, whose work I like and appreciate, had got rid of whatever was causing him to start writing crap, and had got back to delivering the 100$ gilt edged articles as he had in the past.

Perhaps he was-is writing these "un-facts" (like Dracula's "undead") to create controversy, and thus...generate letters about his article.

Well, I see that it's almost there it's not quite, as he rather slipped up a bit.

In the quote I selecte above from his present article, the REAL, TRUE facts are noticeable by their absence. It implies cowardice and chicanery by V Klitschko, of normally genuine, sterling character. Nowhere is mentioned that Klitschko did not "back out" which connotes avoidance, and nowhere does it mention that he had a bodily ailment, which, mis-diagnosed caused a couple of re-statements of a "possible" date for the fight.

{{The fight incidemntally. between V Klitschko and Hasim Rachman would have ended .."you know how"...., and sooner rather than later.}}

During that time, Rahman took a fight with his closest friend Monte Barrett, which, for soporific power, was unequalled. I heard that the final announcement of the forseen and forgone result was unheard by the audience (I won't say "fans") because of the loud snoribng by those who remained..." fast in the arms of Morpheus". I also saw written, and from a slightly more reliable source, that a large proportion of the audience had left the arena long before the fight was -mercifully- ended.

There is no mention by TK of the ugly, career ending injury suffered by VK just 9 days before the fight. Also, no mention of the gentlemanly and sporting action by VK in not wanting to delay or hold up,the WBC in the matter of it anointing a new champion, by retiring right there and then, thus allowing Rahman, who was "interim Champ, to become Champ champ.

If the fight had actually taken place, I believe that everybody in the boxing world, except Rahman, (but perhaps even including him and his handlers,) would have seen that the "champ champ" was actually the sound of Klitschko devouring Rahman in massive, career ending bites.

What more can I say.......? One thing maybe. Could it be, that TK has a dislike for the Klitschkos and that this is the cause of his overcritical comens to date?? Being a writer, he should be able to write an impartial article.

[MELLY-MEL...]

hopefully this loss will end rahmans career. i am tired of him fighting.

It wont. But it will the begining of the end. Depending on how bad he gets beaten he probably wont fight much after this.

On a totally unrelated matter,.........

Are there any reliable posters who live in Southern Florida, ecause I intend to travel to that area at the end of November to stay for about 6 months, and would really appreciate being in immediate touch with a RELIABLE, TRUSTWORTHY BoxingScene alumnus, for advice, help, info about motels, apartments, suites, cars etc,etc.

As I said it has nothing to do with boxing, but, I may be able to visit Roy Jones' training quarters, something to look forward to.

Perhaps I should have sent the above letter to every thread. Maybe the editors will see this and do it. If not, well....??

Horrible Fight

Though I wasn't happy with the list of opponents Wladimir had to choose from, I thought Rahman was one of the worst on that list and I'm so disappointed that he choose Rahman or that Rahman would even be ranked at all. This really shows how thin the talent in the Heavyweight division is and just how bad boxing polotics can screw things up. Instead of a unification bout with Valuev, we get a washed up "never was", one trick pony fighting the heavyweight champion of the world. I thought James Tony deserved a shot..at least more than Rahman does. Even after he (hopefully) decimates Raham in December this fight does nothing good for Klitschko.

Like many fans I am baffled by this match up. What in the hell has Rachman done to get this opportunity? He will most likely be KOd but on th off chance he wins then so what? We all know Rachman doesnt have what it takes to be a dominant HW champ. Its a shame about Povetkin but there must be someone else out there who deserves a shot, too bad Toney is already fighting Thompson.

Maskaev anyone?
