Please Rahman. You sucks horribly, but please KO him and put the HW division in turmoil. It would make me really happy.
Maybe just Maybe, one heavyweight out there would train for a fight for once, and come in with business in his gloves.
(but yeah I voted KO Wlad)
Wlad comes in great conditioning every fight. Hell, he came in lighter against Ibragimov and it was great thinking.Quote:

I think Wladimir is going to be more aggressive vs Rahman and I think he's going to go for the KO early which could backfire but it's doubtful the way Hasim has fought recently
Agreed I can not name a fight Wlad has not come in shape for....Quote:

Rahman a few years back would of given Wlad problems!!
Not now though
Klitschko in 7
That's that credit Rahman got for beating Lewis. If Lennox comes in shape for their first fight nobody would ever say something like that.Quote:

wow ive never seen a poll like this b4 .
20-0
I reckon it will be just like watching Vitali vs Williams
Rahman will rush in trying to land something huge for maybe the first 3 rounds until Wladimer takes over and stops him.
Emanuel Stewart already knows how to beat Rahman in his prime, beating him now should be one of Wladimer's easiest fights. He could win it with one hand literally with his jab left hook.
Why is Rahman getting this shot?
Because Alex Povetkin wasn't ready to get the shit kicked out of him.Quote:

...Oh and FYI this wouldn't be the first time Wlad beat someone only using his left hand, the Ray Austin was all left hand. I'd say "ask Ray Austin" but he probably wouldn't remember
I don't expect much of anything from Rahman, he isn;t gonna land that right hand again I dont see Wladimer trying to dodge punches with his hands down with a big grin at Rahman before getting starched.Quote:

Wlad has looked past fighters before....I just hope Wlad sees his chance for a statement victory instead of seeing an easy fight.
The Corrie Sanders fight (which also happened in Germany) comes to mind when I think of Wlad looking past somebody but I haven't seen Hasim Rahman be anywhere near dangerous in ANY fight since the first Lennox Lewis fight which was 7 years ago!
I say of Oleg Maskaev can stop Rahman when Rahman was supposed to be "America's last line of defense" Wladimer should have no problem. Rahman still can't avoid right hands, I think Wladimer can win with a left hook and a right hand Rahman will never see it coming.
But like I said Rahman will be dangerous for the first 3 rounds and then it will become a repetitive beatdown.
