Rahman is totally shot...don't know how hes gotten to be mandatory :rolleyes:...anyway...Pulev looked really impressive against Ustinov...
Rahman should've hung em up after Lewis took his belts back
Haha, oh my Rahman looked awful. Possibly the worst form ever shown in a title fight really. The guy could've fallen over and not been able to get up without ever taking a shot if it had gone a few rounds.
"title fight" :rolleyes: . Who do you think would win Povetkin vs Pulev?
Do you think the referee was trying to convince Rahman to stay the hell out of the ring? Wether he was or not it's a good idea. Man, he really looked bad. He should have been at home in his rocking chair.Quote:

The Povetkin win was a farce, Rahman was a bloody joke.
Rahman looked liked Schmeling vs. Louis 2. Fella couldn't remain vertical without assistance.
rahman is sort of really funny to watch just now, he is sort like stereotypically overweight has been :S if you remember how he looked when he knocked out lewis, it's like he has a fat suit on and v povetkin he was even leaning one of his arms on the top rope when he was meant to be fighting... it's so ridiculous it's a bit funny now
It was the worst I've ever seen for a supposed heavyweight world title.Quote:

No pride, no self respect. It was sad to watch and disapointing as I thought the man would at least try as he did against Wlad a few years back.
He's kind of like how Zab was a few years back after getting title shot after title shot except less talented. Zab could always be a force at 140 against anyone on a good day. The problem is that these guys have a name now so they can always be catapulted right up there for title shots without having done much. Zab was the former undisputed welter champ and Rahman has a K.O over Lewis for the heavyweight title. Good for Zab who has refocused himself, bad for Rahman who just wants pay.Quote:

Your right he didn't do much in that fight with Wlad either but that was largely because he couldn't do anything and was outclassed. He still hung in there longer than 1 1/2 rounds though.Quote:

Against Povektin he just looked like an out of shape NFL player with gloves on.
I don't understand why Rahman has had big fights since quitting against Toney and how Toney has gone nowhere. It is just nonsense really and has no justification. Toney doesn't get beaten up, Toney doesn't get stopped. Even Adamek refused to fight Toney.
Toney has been silenced out despite all his talking.
Toney doesn't get into shape, Toney fights once a year, and Toney got his ass handed to him by a Cruiserweight, soooo we should be applauding Adamek for not taking on Toney not trying to bash the guy, hell Toney's doing the same thing as Rahman looking for an easy paycheck, that's why he was lined up to fight Ken Shamrock in a special rules "MMA" bout until it got canceled, we need the REAL contenders to be fighting each other, not the dinosaurs stepping up to get paid and a beatingQuote:

Rahman's son was supposed to be somewhat talented and working with Manny Steward, BUT last I heard he was in a very bad car wreck that had at least 1 fatality and might be facing legal actions...but that was the last I heard of him. That might be a reason why Hasim is still fighting.
Lebedev was a clear injury loss. Then an easy return earlier this year.Quote:

Rahman has received a lot of breaks and deserved none of them. Toney has received none.
I also thought that this was a strange ko...Ustinov later claimed that the punch hit him on the ear(which it did)and he lost his equilibrium...or maybe he just had enough,lost his will and called it a day ;) ...Quote:
