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.
I remember watching that fight, Hulk and thinking Rahman made no effort in that one either. Maybe I remember wrong but I don't remember him throwing much. He seemed awfully gun shy and shot to bits. He better hang em up before he loses his faculties or worse.
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.
Against Povektin he just looked like an out of shape NFL player with gloves on.
"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
