Rahman did the hard part...Vitali is finished

[DiegoFuego]

I'm being completely honest when I tell you that for Rahman, beating Barrett was supposed to be twice as hard as beating Vitali. Rahman has been known to have a less than stellar performance and come back with a perfect performance time and time again. He is going to knock Vitali out now that the hard part is done.

P.S. I do not like the Klitschko Brothers, but I have never been dishonest in my opinion of them. I think Vitali beats most of the heavyweights today and would KO the Monte Barrett that fought Rahman tonight, but boxing is based on so much more than saying "so and so beat so and so, so they would beat so and so". Rahman is going to come into this fight with huge momentum, but not so much that he loses as he has been known to do. This fight is going to be a complete dogfight, and Rahman will land the punch that takes Vitali out. Finally, we will have a true heavyweight champion. Finally, the heavyweight division will be cleaned up.

Rahman fought a lazy fight and he was IN SHAPE!....He needs to show a lot more to beat Vitali. It's a long shot for Hasim.

I disagree and here's why. If you know ANYTHING about Rahman, it's that he is ridiculously talented and can fight several styles of fights, but he is also the most inconsistent heavyweight maybe ever. For this guy to knock out Lennox Lewis but lose a decision to John Ruiz is absurd! While Rahman is my 2nd favorite heavyweight, I would NEVER bet money on a Rahman fight in all my life because you never know what's going to happen with him. He SHOULD beat almost everyone he's ever stepped into the ring with, but he doesn't. I'll put it this way. If Rahman shows up, Vitali is dead.

Well, Rahman has not either boxed or punched well today. How do you expect him to beat VK?

[DiegoFuego]

Because you can't make predictions in a Rahman fight. Rahman will storm out of the gates and KO Vitali is my prediction, but who knows? With Rahman, I think you have to go more on gut feeling, and that is very sad considering how talented he is. I actually thought Barrett would beat him but changed my mind in the last week.

[DiegoFuego]

Trust me, guys, I respect all of your opinions and completely agree with everything you said, but the point is you can't really have a rational discussion about Hasim Rahman.

[Dirt E Gomez]

Ballsy opinion but not too far fetched in my eyes as well. While I still believe Klity will most likely win the fight, anything more than 2.5:1 odds is a steal... And, I'd rather have Rahman win the fight as opposed to Klitschko.

Shoulds never cut it in boxing bro, I respect your opinion that Rahman could beat Klitschko but that is a pretty wild statement you are making....

classic stuff...

Barrett was able to shake The Rock with single shots, VK is gonna blast him out and probably early. I too thought Rock was a threat to Vitali, I see now his power is over-rated, his work rate is horrible, and his chin is still open.
