Rahman must be shot by now, how does he keep getting these chances. He can't win on Saturday?
Povetkin should have very little trouble, but once again Hasim Rahman has 1 punch power (that we haven't seen since he beat Kali Meehan). Povetkin should fight Wlad next, he just won't ever step up....it's pathetic
True, even Huck wants to fight Wlad and he lost to Povetkin.Quote:

Does he still have one punch KO power Lyle? I wouldn't have thought so - hasn't been seen for a long time.
No trouble at all. Povetkin will never fight Wlad I don't think. The gravy train stops there and he is happy relaxing on it.Quote:

Povetkin gets him outta there in about 6-7 rounds.
This is true.Quote:

Any word on Rahman's weight :confused:
His last fight was well over a year ago and he came in at a career high 284.
Fightnews has an article claiming he's in good shape. If Rahman comes in 235-240 he'll be in fine shape. Hasim just has to get the jab working and let the right go when there's an opening. Povetkin should stick & move and try to be athletic as possible.Quote:

Amazing. Just shows how shabby thıngs are ın that dıvısıon as these guys jump up and dust themselves off thınkıng they have a decent chance to do somethıng agaın agaınst Father Tıme. I'll route for Hasım, I met hım ın Newark, NJ back ın 1999, he ıs a really nıce guy, got hıs autograph and he even "punched" me wıth a jokıng "kıdney shot" he saıd as he dıd ıt and we both laughed pretty hard. İ wıll be routıng for Hasım.

You cheeky bastard.
Shows the desperation of heavyweight boxing
I could be wrong Master, but I believe Don King is still Rahman's promoter. :)Quote:

....really??? I think it shows more about Povetkin & who he's willing to fight rather than anything about the heavyweight division.Quote:

Weights: Rahman 256.6 Povetkin 229
As opposed to mid 40's foreman fighting in the 90's....
Or 50 yr old moore in the 60's...
I don't think a late 30's former champ is anything new in boxing do u? A 100% fit multiple gold medallist like Povetkin would have beaten any version of rahman just like ruiz, holy and maskaev did! Sorry. Rahman was turned into the elephant man by a 40 yr old holy (byrd and donald schooled holy!) Povetkin is better than maskaev ever was! Povetkin is better than rahman at any age! Training issues are povetkins main problem, his ability is clear!
Isn't it about time america produced a HW champ now it's been nearly 2 decades ;) U do a lot of bitching but about the division yet seem incapable of producing someone to rectify it! Oh wait NFL......What next? Transexual judo?
Feed seth mitchell to sasha next....
Seth Mitchell, Cris Arreola, Deontay Wilder, Joe Hanks....those guys would blast Povetkin out of the ring! Hell Eddie Chambers fought the guy tooth & nail without throwing many punches and you're talking shit like this?!?!?! Get the fuck outta here with that garbageQuote:

I think it must have faded out about the time when Wlad started looking unbeatable
rahman will ko povetkin and that should be about the end of both their careers.
I would still fancy a 60 year old Archie Moore to kick Povetkins arse, he is terrible.Quote:

Sauerland plans a "triple attack" on Wladimir Klitschko:
- If Povetkin wins today, according to Sauerland he'll fight Klitschko in early 2013 as Wlad's WBA mandatory.
- If Pulev wins today, he'll be Wlad's IBF mandatory.
- Helenius will be back on November 10 and Sauerland will try to move him up in the WBO rankings toward a mandatory shot.

Povetkin should make short work of Rahman, unless he gets careless and Rahman lands a lucky punch.
PolSat undercard telecast is on now.
PosSat has a light middleweight undercard fight on now. It's over, Koelling won his debut by decision but he didn't look impressive.

Ustinov can't cope with Pulev's movement. Ustinov did land a decent punch in that round.
