No shi.t. However, Team Klitschko could have selected a much better opponent than Rahman. Why not Valuev, Ruiz, Dimitrenko, Toney, Chambers, Johnson, Mccline, Virchis, etc. Rahman quit in his last fight and has shown zero commitment to getting back into fighting condition. An awful choice of an opponent makes a boring fight..
Wladimir Klitschko has a Very Impressive Resume!

Valuev, Toney, Chambers and Dimitrenko already had fights scheduled, they weren't available. Johnson is a nobody, Virchis wasn't available, Wlad already KO'd McCline.No shi.t. However, Team Klitschko could have selected a much better opponent than Rahman. Why not Valuev, Ruiz, Dimitrenko, Toney, Chambers, Johnson, Mccline, Virchis, etc. Rahman quit in his last fight and has shown zero commitment to getting back into fighting condition.

Rahman is a well known former 2 time heavyweight champion and a nice name to have on the resume.Comment

Do you honestly believe that Wlad knocking out a 36 year old Rahman in 7 rounds was more impressive than when Lewis KO'd him in four back in 2001?
Wlad is good, dont get me wrong but he is smack dab in the middle of the worst Heavyweight era in history! Hes STILL feeding off of Lennox left-overs for christs sake.Comment

I understand this but Rahman quit on his stool in his last fight after receiving a mild cut. He also looked downright awful against Zuri Lawrence and Taurus Sykes recently. I guess Rahman's not a bad name to have on your resume but when he's shown zero committment to the sport in recent years, you gotta think that he's not going to act differently...
Anyways, lets hope that Wlad will be able to get some good opponents in 2009. I think Valuev, Haye, Arreola, Dimitrenko, and Povetkin all make for more competitive and exciting fights. Good night, I'm going to bed...Comment
