Hasim Rahman-Wladimir Klitschko

[leftylee]

November 15th is when you will see the ONLY good BRITISH heavyweight since Lennox Lewis retired.

Just wait until the 15th. When Barret goes down like a sack of spuds.

If Haye can do the job better than Wvlad I will be impressed. I was ringside for Wvlad vs Barrett and I couldnt see how Barrett could win unless Wvlad gassed out and that wasnt happening cuz he couldnt apply any pressure or knock him out of his comfort zone.

I think Haye beats Barrett. I just wana see how he reacts when he takes a solid punch on the chin .

IMO this is a real bad fight for Wlad to take, Rahman has a real good jab and right hand and a pretty good reach to go with a solid frame, I can see Wlad pulling straight back and taking one on the pucker for his troubles.. Rahman is a douche and Toney deserves this fight over him.. Wlad will jab his way to victory in this one, but again could be a tricky type Sanders fight.

I just will never be sold on Wlad and have a penchant to bet against him since he is so fragile and passive in there, its not what I want out of my heavyweight champ.

I am a huge Vitali fan and I think it is great he is back if he stays healthy, he is a tough nose solid rugged sum bitch who brings credit to the division to me he is the rightful heir of the division..

....I just want to bring up this MANNY STEWARD. He got Lennox to KO Rahman and like 7 years later with a prime fighter I hardly see the difficulty in beating the same old Hasim Rahman.

Rahman and Maskaev are the best choices for Wlad to take on with short notice and here are a few reasons:

1. They both have been KO'd before (by far lesser fighters than Wlad)
2. They are orthodox fighters and aren't exceptionally big or fast
3. They don't have anything tricky in their arsenal

Sure Hasim Rahman has the size to have been somebody special but he's the American Frank Bruno. He has long arms and every now and then he'll look like he's really got something going on but this dude had trouble with Taurus Sykes.....Taurus fucking Sykes!!!



I would rather see John Ruiz or James Toney get blasted but hey Maskaev or Rahman will do....just so long as Wlad isn't fighting another fucking southpaw!

Thing is years ago I actually thought Rahman was going to be a damn good fighter...Long before the Lewis upset...by then I had actually given up hope on him....

Hasim always had potential but rarely lived up to it....it is nice that his son (Hasim Rahman Jr.) is trained by Manny...maybe there is hope for the Rahman line down the road.


Wladimir will beat the bejeezus out of Hasim....Rahman has long arms but Wlad is the faster, crisper, and stronger puncher. Hasim isn't a tricky fighter at all...he's there to be hit, and with Manny as his trainer Wlad is going to be very prepared to gun him down in impressive fashion I hope.


Rahman might not be the best opponent to draw out the masses (neither was Ray Austin) but he will allow Wlad a chance to fight a fight of his choosing next (perhaps a David Haye fight) or it will just give Wlad the chance to get a huge KO win that will clear out space at the top of the division for other younger fighters.
