Rahman is GOD! Or is he?

[!! Mr. Soprano]

Rahman is GOD.. or at least this is how most of you are viewing him...

The rock must be so hyped up with his B.S. talks, on how he will dethrone Vitali and become the Undisputed champ again.. he has most of you believing it...

WTF is wrong with "ya'll"???

A Man who has 3 straight losses including a draw in between...
Lewis KO - OK, this was one Legit Loss
But what's up with:
1 - Loosing UD to washed off Holyfield, who then lost to Byrd, come on, it's Byrd! Holy's losses followed by Toney and Donald... and THE ROCK with all of his KO power couldn't do what Toney-The Middleweight did. I just don't get it..
2 - A Draw with Tua? Come on.. Tua is a KO boxer, If he doesn't knock the **** out of you, how do you let Tua outbox you at least to a draw. This also says something about Rock's boxing skills.
3 - But a draw to Tua is not nearly as bad as a loss to Ruiz! I'm not even gonna comment on this one.


And who has he beatten thereafter?
1 - Alfred Cole - Never heard of him!
2 - Mario Cawley - Sorry never heard of this one either
3 - Rob Calloway - again.. WTF is this?
4 - Terrence Lewis - yeah this one is a real good contender - 32-15-1
5 - Kali Meehan - His one BIG win ever since his loosing streak, and Meehan turned out to be GARBAGE just like the rest of them

Rock Has ONE win in his carrer, which was a mistake... and Lewis corrected this mistake by a Brutal KO in the 5th!

Aside his upset over Lewis, Name ONE legit win over a top 10 contender or champ!

GET OFF HIS BAND WAGON!

Rock = next heavyweight champion

[jack_the_rippuh]

Yeah, but listen buddy.
Vitali is the champ, Rahman is not. Rahman has a right to fight bull**** fighters, Vitali doesn't...especially with all the other champs out there. If Vitali was undisputed and just didn't have opponents to face, like Holmes...than there could be an excuse, but his recent opposition woul dhave gotten beaten by most of the top ten fighters. Will Rahman beat him, I hope so, but I doubt it.

As far as you talking about Rahman's poor performances, that's what happens when you're out of shape. You Vitali fans love to dwell on what a fighter does when he's out of shape i.e. Lewis in his fight with Vitali.

Lets not turn it into another Klitchko Thread...

Every time you talk about a heavyweight, Klitchko gets dragged into this...

Well you want to talk about Klitchko Cans.. talk about Wlad!

There were dzns of threads saying that Wlad doesn't deserve a title shot.. who has he fought??

Well, who has Rock fought???

Anyhow, I don't want to compare Rahman to Vitali, Wlad, Ruiz, Byrd, or anyone else...

I just want people to open their eyes about "The Rock"

I used to root for Rahman.

Now I don't give a damn about him anymore. To me, he's just a pretender who gives out 5% despite the skills he possess.

[spinksjinx]

I think Rahman is extremely talented but also extremely overrated. His only claim to fame and notable win is against Lennox Lewis.

The big problem with Rahman already is that he is overlooking Barrett and he is no push over. You overlook an opponent and that opponent is going to be over looking you with you are on your back. It happened with Maskaev and I have no doubts that it wont happen again tonight.

[enadeus]

I agree with you completely on all your points. Rahman is a decent fighter, but at this condition of the heavyweight division, he is a great fighter.

Don't think Barrett has the power to KO Rahman..

But this should be an easy UD. People will be surprised how easy this fight should be for Barrett.

I don't know much about Barrett, but his losses impress me a lot more than the once I listed above for Rahman.

Lets do Barrett:
1 - Latest loss is a Majority Decision to Mesi! Same Mesi who KO'ed Williams in the 1st!
2 - In 2000 his first and only KO loss to Wlad Klitschko. Come on, in 2000 Wladimir was unstoppable.. he walked through everyone who was put in front of him. This is as legit of a loss, just as Rahman's loss to Lewis
3 - Split Decision loss to Whitaker, who KOed Maskayev in 2.. same Maskaev who send Rahman through the ropes. And Whitalker's competition, again aside from Lewis (in Rahman's arsenal), impresses me more than Rahman's.
