Everyone who recognized Vitali as THE champ better do the same for Rahman

[RAESAAD]

So who is the boxer closest to being a champion: the boxer who fought for it in the ring and defended it once, or the guy who got it handed over because someone retired?

Rahman given the stats but your right......Byrd has defended more than any other so it should probably be him who is considered the real champ at this point.

Great post except Vitali was never TKOed or KOed by Maskaev and I believe they never even fought.

Amateurs. Vitali quit after the firts round.

Oh no **** I did not know that.......

Oh no **** I did not know that.......

You couldn't know that because it never happened. Diego, care to post a link to the story where it says that he quit after the first round?

[DiegoFuego]

Yeah, it was similar to the Byrd fight in that Vitali hurt his shoulder and didn't want to go on. Not a big deal because it was the amateurs and all, but I just wanted to point it out since people like to bring up Rahman's loss to Maskaev despite Rahman winning EVERY ****ING ROUND up until the insane 3 or 4 shots Maskaev landed to put Rahman on ***** street and through the ropes.

Hey bulldog/human being, Rahman was outboxing him and was on the verge of KOing him till he got hit with a monster shot.

so what, what u trying to tell me????

Still didn't provide the link to the real story.

do people(not meaning everyone) ever bother reading my posts? maybe it's because they are factual.


check into vk vs maskeav in amateur boxing and then parallel that with his kickboxing career and a post i made about this earlier.

point is, you can't argue against facts.

and VITALI REALLY HELD ON TO IT HUh? Damn 1 year of Terror from Vitali. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT! Vitali held on to it by avoiding fights!

You dumbass, how many times did Rahman defend his belt?

Answer: Not even once lol

And that's the same thing that will happen when he tries to defend it this time. He only got it because DK was working behind the scenes to help him get it so that he can pay off his debts. I swear, you hanging off Rahman's nuts because you hate the Klits is really pathetic. What's more pathetic is the fact that it wouldn't have mattered who came along you would have hung from their nuts, like a ********** lol

Here's how I see it. Lennox Lewis was the linear champion, but he was never beat before he retired. So we get four champions, all of which should be considered paper champions until one starts unifying belts. The first guy to win 2 belts would be the champ in my book, but nobody wanted to unify. So no, Vitali was NOT the champ, and Rahman is NOT the champ.

However, Rahman brings a lot more prestige to the belt.

Rahman WKO5 Lewis (last HW champion)
Vitali LTKO6 Lewis (last HW champion)

Rahman rose to the occasion and won where Vitali couldn't. Rahman is a 2 time WBC champion, 1 time undisputed champion. Vitali is a 1 time WBC champion, never undisputed champion.

Rahman was KO'ed by Maskaev in 8
Vitali was TKO'ed by Maskaev in 1

Rahman KO'ed Sanders in 7
Vitali TKO'ed Sanders in 8

I mean, there is absolutely NO argument that Vitali is better than Rahman. None whatsoever! Every accolade Klitschko has, RAHMAN HAS ONE BETTER.

Rahman owns Vitali

VK was never KO'd by Maskaev, you're just believing some horse**** you heard from another hater, that never happened, this has already been discussed numerous times, next time, search through the ENTIRE archive when you try to find **** before you post. By the way, that was SUPPOSED to have happened during VK's kickboxing days, and it was SUPPOSED to have been a kick to the leg, Rahman has never been man enough to participate in a sport like kickboxing. Rahman TKO'd Sanders, same as VK did, after being dropped and knocked almost out of the ring, something Sanders never came close to doing to VK. Furthermore, VK was viewed as the champ because he was actually believed to have a very good chance of soundly defeating the other beltholders, Rahman has almost zero chance of defeating even one of the other beltholders, let alone the other three. Rahman is a good fighter when he shows up to fight, but he doesn't always do that, and besides many think his best days are behind him anyway.
