Just announced for the interim WBC title: Hasim Rahman vs. Monte Barrett, July 23rd!!! All 4 title holders will be from the good old U S of A after this fight, I'll take Rahman with a highlight reel KO in the late rounds....

yeah I know, he'll have to beat Vitali to become the full-time title-holder, but with Rahman as interim champ, Don King gets to pull more strings, and Quitali will have virtually no chance of winning back the gory green strap if that's the case

Why would this fight happen? Vitali said he will be ready in September to fight Rahman. Hasim will not waste his mandatory status for a fight 2 MONTHS prior to a title shot...

Good post, when Rahman has his "A-Game" he's one of the best heavyweights of this or any generation, and a motivated Rahman should demolish Barrett

I'm speechless! (almost)

I think that when a fight of this caliber is supposed to be a cause for excitement it is a sad day for the division.
My birthday is the 26th and if this was on free T.V. I might opt for televised bowling.

Please tell me this isn't true..

If Rahman beats Barrett, being the interim champ he will get a bigger purse against VK. Apparently the Rock pretty confident that he can beat Barrett.
