Wladimir looked great, but Rahman is the champ

[Torino]

I'm still trying to figure out how DF figures that Rahman "chased Vitali into retirement".

What did Rahman pull a "Tanya Harding" on Vitali's knee or something?

[mattbythebay]

this dude need to lay off the crack!

According to all Klitschko fans, Rahman should be the rightful champion. You called Vitali champion for chasing Lewis away so don't be hypocritical now. With the longest reigning champ out of the way, there is no doubt Rahman is the champ. After all, he chased Vitali into retirement. If the Ring does not name Rahman the official heavyweight champion, then they are biased.

With all the champs tied up as to who they're fighting next isn't Klitschko going to have to face a mandatory? I hate this division. Why not unify belts now? Props to Klitschko for destroying Byrd and for wanting to unify the division unlike everybody else. Rahman wants money, Valuev wants 50 wins, and Liakhovich wants Kevin McBride

Lets see in the last 8 years Rahman has a record of 12-5 with 2 draws and you say he is the HW champ...give me a break....rahman has a draw with Toney and you call him champ for that...I am laughing my ass off right now! he knocked out Lewis I will give him credit for that but who the hell else has Rahman ever beat? when he beat lewis ring side mag called it the upset of the year in 2001...obviously he has a good punch but other than that there is no comparsion between rahman and Klitch In many boxing fans eyes Klitch will be the HW to beat and not Rahman and hopefully they will meet up in the ring and fight for the belts...so dude just chill for awhile before you go calling rahman the legitimate HW champ i would think he should have to win the belt before you can call him that!

that is why there must be just one belt so everybody knows how is the champ and clearup some bull**** discussion between people

Wlads got the skills and the punch to dominate and Rahmans got the punch to KO. I think Wlads learned a lot from his losses. Its likely he wins this fight.

what would we do without debates and bull**** discussion

[scap]

Diego Fuego has grown a ton as a poster on these boards but every once he shows you that he still has a bit of "dip****" in him.

We have four belt holders and certainly no one who can be considered the clear cut champ.

(Ill take Wlad over any HW n the world right now if I had to put money on it-and Im a guy who thought Peter was going to walk right thru him and for all intesive purposes end his career)

If your looking for excitmeent Wlad has definately shown he is must see HW TV.

Like Merchant said...we are now getting better HW fights all across the board!

Hey Fuego-nice to see you still are the same dude.

chased vitali into retirement? lmao yea,,rahman is so intimidating. so scarey the way he was knocked out of the ring by maskeav and beat up by ruiz and old holyfield. my god,,,it so cracks me up when I hear this ****. vit was practically begging lewis for a rematch yet he was scared of rahman? that fight would have been a massacre like the vit vs danny williams fight. sorry,,but rahman is no more deserving a champion than anyone else. vit retired to injury and barely getting a close decision over feather fisted monte barrett who was destroyed in 6 by wlad doesnt make one a legit champ. think a little before you post

u're the last person who should be allowed to call people biased.

in case you didnt notice, rahman did not win his last fight, which was against a 230 lbs MW. yet, wlad has beaten the hardest hitter in the HW division and the longest reigning of today's HW champions in dominant manner in two consecutive fights. what has rahman done that's so noteworthy as of late?

if you hate this division so much, just ignore it, that way we wont have to put up with ur bitching and moaning and gassing on about how rahman "chased vitali into retirement" and how "rahman is the real champion" (despite the fact that rahman has never been victorious in any of his title defenses).

you give props to wlad for wanting to unify the belts and destroying byrd but you still think that rahman is the "real champion" (again, despite the fact that the belt was handed to him on a silver platter). you're posts are full of ignorance and hypocracy.

P.S. im not defending what vitali has done or has accomplished. you probly dont know this, but i for one have jumped off the vitali bandwagon. this isnt about vitali, so dont bother bringing him up to try and rebut me.

[DiegoFuego]

I'm telling it like it is. Wlad is the best; he is not, the champion. Vitali was the best, but he was not the champion. We have not had a heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis. Call it one way or the other, but don't go back and forth. If you recognized Vitali as champ, you better recognize Rahman as champ. I didn't recognize Vitali as champ and I don't recognize Rahman as champ. There is no champion until someone wins 2/4 belts

[Easy-E]

The Ring will have the champ vacant and Wlad the number 1 contender, as i believe he should be.
