    Who else sees Rahman beating Vitali on May 14th?

    As reported on **********.net:

    January 07, 2005 - Sources from Team Rahman have informed **********.com that the eagerly anticipated heavyweight title fight between WBC champion Vitali Klitschko and mandatory challenger Hasim Rahman will likely take place on HBO on May 14 at either Madison Square Garden, The MGM Grand or The Mandalay Bay. It is not yet known whether or not the fight will appear on HBO World Championship Boxing, or HBO PPV. **********.com will continue to keep you updated so stay tuned! Remember Where You Heard It First! (12:30 AM ET)
    I think Rahman actually wins this fight by KO in the 8th or 9th round after Vitali shows his stamina is the worst since Ricardo Williams.

    Couldn`t deagree more. If Klit had a bad chin i`d give Rahman punchers chance but overall i feel Klit is just good at what he does. Rahman is a decent boxer but give away too much reach and height to outbox Klit. Also, barring the loss to Holyfield and Ruiz Rahman has been KO`d in all his losses. Corrie Sanders nearly KO`ed him too. Klit hits to hard and i think he gets Rahman out in 7 rds!

          Kimmy, I know what you're saying and Vitali has never been KD much less KO'd before but he does have a stamina problem that is undeniable. The Rock is too smart for him and will wear him down and finally KO him due, mostly, to Vitali being exhausted. If he comes in with very good conditioning then he has a shot even though I think the Rock is capable of outboxing him just like Byrd was doing at the end of their fight.

            it should be a very good fight. I don't think Rahman can win 7 rounds but i do think he can do enough damage to KO klit in the later rounds. Rahman has a very good jab that should be able to keep VK honest, and not come at as hard as normal. Great fight, i would pay to see it. i was looking to take a trip to Vagas in april, looks like i'm going in may now.

              What about the Tuaman? I think Tua can knock Vitali into, not only next week, but into a parallel universe.

                if the rock comes in in shape.....he has one of the best shots at beating vitali.....rock does have a good jab but not sure if he cna reach vitali........but I think vitali's stamina is worse than rahman......this will not go 12 rounds.......someone will be tko'd and that someone could be vitali

                  lol tua vs vitali would be funny cause tua cannot be knocked out with that iron chin.....lol but vitali probably will beat tua if he weathers the early storm....tua isnt a great boxer.....hes jus a guy with a great chin and a powerful punch...but he has no boxing skill
