Who else sees Rahman beating Vitali on May 14th?

[Eyeh8you]

Vk is the best HW is the business right now. There is no one that can beat him and the only one with an ok chance is toney. Toney will lose Bryd will lose Rock will lose, and so will ruiz. there is no one that stands a chance. And im wondering what VK has to do to get peoples respect?

Paint his skin a darker color

I have seen Rahman beaten too many times, & too conclusively, to envision him beating V. Klit.

Is this new found faith in Hasim based on his thumping of Meehan ?
It has to be....Rahman hasn't done much, in a long time, besides that.
He lost to Holyfield (who owned him) & Ruiz....& I wasn't impressed with his victory over the lethargic-as-always Tua.



Klit in 5.

i know it was alot of bums, but rahman had a good year, winning 6 fights i think, 5 by KO. and is in better shape than when he fought LL the 1st time.

Paint his skin a darker color

haha maybe

[jabsRstiff]

It has nothing to do with his skin color.
People look at Klit, & see this oaf with numerous flaws....& can't believe he can be effective.
It hurts their boxing senses to see him successful.


But,he's tough....he's smart....he's huge....& the heavyweights around him are a bunch of CHUMPS.

[Pno]

Empirical evidence. Look at his fights against Sanders, Lewis, Williams, hell, even Chris Byrd. In all those fights he was breathing hard and through his mouth after the first couple of rounds. He looks tired, he breathes hard, and when he gives interviews after fights it seems like he's still huffin' and puffin' trying to find his breath.

I think a MOTIVATED, IN-SHAPE Rahman is good enough to beat any HW except for Byrd and Toney. I think Rahman (motivated and in-shape) beats the living daylights out of The Quiet Man if they meet again and he boxed circles around Tua (not hard to do, really, but still impressive that he can take the shots Tua hands out). His jab and boxing skills are superior to Vitali's (and most HW's) and that should be the deciding factor.

This is absolutely sad... who cares if he breathes through his mouth, or stand flat-footed, or is white? all that matters is if he WINS. The fights you named above... you talk about look at VK in those fights, why don't you look at his opponents as well? were they busted up, tired? If VK had an experience like WK against Ross Purity, I could understand the basis of your arguement, but he didn't.
He had a bigger problem with beating the crap out of his hands on Williams FACE than he did with breathing through his mouth.
and this bit about " beat any HW except for Byrd and Toney.." I just can't take your logic any more brother LOLOLOL

sorry no offense, but wow..

Right now, I'm thinking there isn't anyone out there who can stop Klitchsko but closer to the fight, I'll probably get closer and closer to giving Rahman a good chance.

Rahman gets KO'd in brutal fashion, that is my prediction.

[tri4ben2]

Saying that Rahman has six wins this year means absolutely nothing. VK would be 6-0 against that same opposition and nobody here is going to deny it.

Rahman marginally deserves a chance, but he is simply not good enough to take down Vitaly. Is he going to stand up to a barage of puches like DW did in order to fing one or two openings and KO VK with a monster punch? Or is he going to try to outbox Vitaly and win rounds?

Vitaly KO8, just like those before him.

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



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.

....I see big Vit knocking Rahman through the ropes ala Maskaev and that will be the end of Rahman.

The Heavyweight division is in such a mess, anyone can win a belt.
