Rahman: "I'm the great black hope"

[legacyofbrutality]

in a perfect world......

as for now im gonna try not to get too excited over a matchup that probably cant happen for upwards of a year

I see ur point, these past few days since wlad's win ive been getting overexcited over what could happen in the heavyweight division. But i guess ill have to be patient too...

.....Any way that Maskaev would take some huge step aside money and would the WBC possibly agree to it? It would be great for everyone. Maskaev gets s chunk of change to wait for Wlad/Rahman, and he gets the next shot at the unified titles. Wlad and Rahman meeting right now would keep the momentum moving in the heavyweight division and get it back on the map.

Rahman is too cool. He'll send these Russian phonies packing.

ill second that.!!

russians will be sent home TKO KO

[RAESAAD]

I think if the Rock put on a performance like he did against Toney he would beat Wlad in a brutal slugfest.......Toney just does not let you hit him much and has a huge Chin.Although if Wlad landed a overhand right like Toney was all night he may put the Rock into a coma.

its sad that the american heavyweight hope is hasim rahman.

Damn in my town local news seems to be going crazy over Wlad's win like it was the biggest fight of the year. They dont report other fights the way theyve been hyping this one...Something ive never seen.

Personally Im really hoping to see Rahman vs. Wlad if it happens. I think it would be an explosive matchup hopefully Wlad's chin holds up

hopefully rahmans's chin holds up too so we can get at least a few rounds of viewing

Rahman is too cool. He'll send these Russian phonies packing.

yea,,just like he did the russian maskeav and puerto rican ruiz,,,lol

[Pno]

if rahman fights WK like he did toney, the fight won't last as long as Byrd's fight.

Rahman winning from WK's chin is like him winning vs Lenox' chin, which DID happen, but only when Lewis wasn't trained and prepared..

it's like Wladimir said, when guys 200+ pounds are hitting you hard in the face, anyone can get KO'd. I just don't see Rahman about to capitalize on Wlad's Immanuel Stewart's fight plans.

they both have good jabs, but Wlad is one up on Rahman with his left hook off the jab..

Why are Americans so desperate for an American and black heavyweight champ? Relax a little on this and enjoy the great fights. It sounds like NBA fans from the sixties who got worried that blacks were taking over. Maybe the 'Russians' are taking over but we should be ****** than this xenophobia now. When I look at Wlad I see not only the most talented HW today but also a multilingual, intelligent man with a doctorate. I don't need some ignorant ***** like Toney to hold a title just becaus ehe comes from the same country
Unfrotunately for Rahman he stands little chance. An American heavy will come along soon enough, but he is not the man.
