"Rahman, you are the heavyweight champion of the world....at talking.

why does rock seem closer to VK's height in the 2nd picture than in the first??

VK looks like Arnold in the first pic

The only advantage for Rahman that I can see is his reach. He seems to have gorilla arms, while Vitali's are alot shorter.

...Rahman wore that long shirt so nobody could see the wet spot from where he pissed his pants.

ROFL! Have some karma.

[AintGottaClue]

if there is one thing rahman can do is not to piss off vitali

[Hitman932]

i'm talking about rahman... he talked a lot of trash before his rematch with lewis... him and lewis even got into a brawl on espn's interview show.. then rock got punk'd when it came down to the fight.. he couldn't even lay a glove on lewis...

I believe that brawl was started by a personal favorite Hasim Rahman quote, directed at Lennox Lewis:

"You're gay."

yeah, lewis hated rahman... even after knocking rock out, you could tell lewis hadnt forgived him.... during the post fight interview, rock tried congratulate him and lewis just nodded his head with a "yeah, whatever" look...

Look at the words on the wall behind them... the picture is tilted so it appears that they are eye to eye.

You read all these contradictions when it comes to press conferences. One site says that Rahman disrespected Vitali and then another one says that Rahman supposedly said this



``He showed tremendous heart in his fight with Lennox Lewis, and he did show desire,'' Rahman said. ``He proved he was a champion. I really respect this man. I really feel like he can hurt me if I come with any less than my A-plus game.''


What the ****?

After yesterday’s press conference that took place in Beverly Hills Hotel Crystal Ballroom, Vitali Klitschko and Hasim Rahman continued their promotion at Caesar Palace in Las Vegas. The same city where on November 12, inside “Thomas and Mack Center” they will face each other in the ring.
Mostly all statements and speeches were the same as during yesterday’s press conference. It was also true for both Vitali’s and Rahman’s speeches.
The only thing that was truly distinguishing from yesterday’s press conference was that Rahman didn’t bring chicken as a gift for Vitali. Probably that was the reason why Rahman was so talkative during this press conference as he constantly interrupted Vitali during his speech.
Rahman stated, "I think Vitali is going to quit around the seventh, eighth or ninth round," and "nobody is going to come into my home and beat me."
However Vitali didn’t pay any attention to that and easily answered questions from journalists. He looked at Rahman and spoke "He will not beat me," and stated, "Rahman, you are the heavyweight champion of the world....at talking." After Vitali’s statement Rahman settled down a little as Vitali continued to answer questions, promising to finish all the talk in the ring.
Press conference ended with Vitali and Rahman facing each other “eye-to-eye” in what seemed liked one of the longest staredowns in recent history that lasted for almost fifteen minutes. Everyone in a hall patiently looked, as it seemed the long awaited fight would take place right then and there. Even guys from both teams moved closer just in case. But everything ended peacefully.
At the end Vitali and Rahman were photographed, gave interviews and signed autographs. Tomorrow “Seek and Destroy!” will take place in Atlantic City, which will be the last press conference before November 7th pre-fight press conference.











This will be in my next signature:

God, I can't wait for post-fight quotes from the Rock. "It wasn't my night, I felt off, I can beat him in a rematch"

The Rock is going to be shattered by Klitschko. Ala Danny Williams.

Vitali does not look very happy. He is usually an easy going guy but I think the last thing anyone should attempt to do is awaken a sleeping giant. Rahman is going to get destroyed.
