If the winner of Barrett vs Rahman cannot go ahead and fight Vitali on the Sep 24th date, then I am all for allowing Klitschko to fight someone else on that date. There is no reason why Vitali should not be allowed to get back into the swing of things after a long lay off. If Vitali beats his opponent on the 24th then a fight should be made for sometime in late November between the winner of Rahman vs Barrett.
Vitali willing to give up belt to fight prospect?

IMO, i think vitali SHOULD fight the mandatory. but i also think he should face brock. brock is more a dangerous opponent than barrett or rahman. rahman's a bum and a one-punch wonder. barrett's got a lot of heart but little else. brock is hungry, dangerous, and he needs a challenge too. but when it comes down to it, i think vitali should take the mandatory first, THEN fight brock.Comment

Yeah but what if the mandatory is not able to fight on the 24th. Why should Vitali have to wait around. The fight between Barrett and Rahman was originally supposed to take place on July 23rd but then the ******* Don King switched it for three weeks later. If the fight did take place on the original date then you can make a case that they would have enough time to recover in order to fight Vitali on Sep 24th.Comment

if u mean not able to fight like injured then vitali could face brock or the loser of the mandatory.Originally posted by ejk22Yeah but what if the mandatory is not able to fight on the 24th.

if u mean not able to fight like not prepared to train: thats just being a whiny ***** (just like rahman). a month is enough time to prepare.Comment

Personally I want Vitali to face the winner on the 24th. Enough of this waiting around bull****. I am actually happy that Rahman is facing Barrett because Barrett has been ranked fairly high for quite sometime by the WBC and has constantly been overlooked. It was ****ed up that they allowed Rahman to originally face Vitali when Barrett had been ranked high for so long.Comment

I cannot believe people that actually say such things are not being disingenuous. Haseem Rahman is a B- fighter at best. He got his one lucky punch against Lennox Lewis but outside of that what has he done? Well he beat Kali Meehan, the same Kali Meehan who was Ko'd in 32 seconds by Danny Williams and he lost to Ancient Holyfield, John Ruiz, and was brutally KO'd by Oleg Maskaev, a guy that was knocked out by Oliver McCall in like 26 seconds.Originally posted by DiegoFuegoI'm in the same boat. I think Rahman easily wins if Vitali faces him, and I think the next guy with power that Vitali fights is gonna put his lights out just because Vitali's been out of the ring so long he probably doesn't remember how to fightComment

Again, I am a Klitschko hater...
but what does Rahman have exactly that makes you people think he is on the same level as Vitali Klitschko?Comment
