    Rahman will last longer than Williams. But will lose.

      This is a decent fight compared to the competition Klitschko has been facing. Rahman has a chance if he can last 8 rounds or so with Klitschko's suspect stamina, but Rahman is just too easy to hit IMO. He's gonna need to come up with something better than just sticking his arms straight out (as in Lewis II) to keep away from Klitschko's punches. Rahman has a decent chin, but I don't think it'll be decent enough. I'd go for Klitschko by KO (mid-late rds).

        I agree, it 'll be a good opponent, but Vitaly will be well prepared and KO Rahman in the late rounds.

          Expect things to be the same as the Williams fight. Lewis showed what he could do when he was focused against Rahman by pummeling him for 5 rounds before the knockout. Considering that was about 3 years+ ago and considering what vitali did to lewis, and considering rahman's record these past couple of years...i would predict an early knockout for vitali.

                I think he was referring to the fact that Vitali outboxed Lewis and Rahman didn't.

                  No way my friend. If this fight goes to the scorecard's, I guarantee you that they will give the decision to Rahman because Don King is involved. Vitali will probably win the fight 8 rounds to 4 but as soon as it goes into King's judges scorecard's Vitali will get ****ED!!!

                    Which is exactly why I don't know why he is fighting a King fighter and not Toney or Barrett.

                      No judge is going to stand in Don King's way of controlling all four belts.
