Thread: Zahir Raheem interview

I feel for the guy but I mean he had his chance v Freitas,it's his own fault he stood toe to toe! How do peeps see him faring against the elites at the weight? I'm still not sure,Erik was moving up,looked lazy,and when he DID step up,he dropped Raheem(sprt of). I was NOT impressed by his showing vv Freitas and Ihave not seen him against Juarez,is this guy the real deal??

yeah he is the real deal. I thought he beat Freitas but freitas didn't look that good against him either.

and why do you fault Raheem for standing toe to toe when people accuse Mayweather fault for doing the opposite Jetson!!!! I dont understand you.

He was pretty impressive against Morales, I never saw the Juarez fight either and I thought maybe he didn't quite do enough to beat Freitas, but he did do some good business in that fight too. The problem with him is that even when he is winning sometimes, he doesn't look like he is, he's tricky, a little bit like Johnny Nelson if you know him, (long standing WBO Cruiserweight Champion) but he seems to have a few personal issues, but talent wise he's all there.

he has the potential to be the best 135 - 140 out there.
