Rahman did the hard part...Vitali is finished

[rayhogan123]

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.

I respect your decision but i got to say this rahman is rediculously talented? are you kidding me? Rahman got soo lucky in the first fight with lewis before the knockout. Lewis out box rahman easy but in round 5 lewis was being to ****y thinking in his head rahman can't hurt him but rahman with only punch knock out lewis after lewis outbox rahman the first 4 rounds . But in the rematch lewis prove that the first fight was a fluke. Rahman is an overrated bum after his second lewis fight, rahman lost to a 40 year old past prime holyfield , lost to an idiot and boring in ruiz. Got a draw wit tua, And after that he beat three fighters that are garbage mens and after that it took him i beleive 4th round to beat another bum in meeham. And last night rahman was slow . He didn't really throw any combination at all. The only thing rahman really did was just stick the jab one at a time but that was nothing . Barrett hit rahman was some good shots that got rahman dazed . It shows that rahman chin is questional.

Damn people hate on Rahmman a lot on this board. Well I see it like this...If Vitali would have gone against Rahman right after he destroyed williams then I would say Rahman wouldnt have a chance. The guy rescheduled the fight 3 times after that though. He must be afraid of Rahman for some reasons. I think Rahman can hang in there with Vitali if he sticks to his jab. It will be hard against the giant though. Vitali has done well against other big fighters with a big punch..sanders, williams etc. so I see it coming down to a KO for VK after Rock gives him hell for maybe a couple of rounds, but gets stuck with a shot.

Thanks for not being an idiot, Gomez. Most these guys just hate Rahman for doing what Vitali couldn't do: knockout Lennox Lewis.

And not only that, but Vitali had an OLD, LAID OFF, OUT OF SHAPE, UNINSPIRED Lennox Lewis in front of him. I think it's hilarious that Vitali has a bigger following than Rahman, despite being unable to beat Lewis that night.

Vitali retired Lewis, Rahman just got his ass kicked in the rematch, the same way Maskaev beat his ass, and Ruiz, and Holyfield. My god he's garbage, I dont think you saw the Monte Barret fight, this man is going to get ****ed in the first 4 rounds.

How can he be the "true champion" just for beating Vitali Klitschko? The true champion is the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. Vitali is not the true champion just because you say so......he has to beat the other two champs in Ruiz and Byrd. Just to remind you....he quit in a fight against Chris Byrd. Oh...and lets not forget the WBO belt Brewster has.

I'm not sure if you just didn't read my post and what I was referring to or if you are deliberately picking phases out of my post and trying to make it look like I said something I didn't, just to be a ****head.

I was paraphrasing something DiegoFuego said,

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.

Those were his words, not mine.

Oh, and I take that back, you're already a ****head. Having said that, you wouldn't deliberately take my post out of context unless you were working on becoming an *******.

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.

...Your so right. He was hurt with some punches that weren't much of anything from Barrett. If he stalks Vitali like that he is dead meat in the early going. I am more convinced than ever that Vitali is getting one of the easiest fights he could possibly get in Rahman. The Rock is going to come to Vitali just like Krik Johnson did and I predict a firts or second round KO now. Also, Barrett didn't do anyting to push the action. The most he did was in the last round when he had Rahman in serious trouble. Too little too late.

Wow, do you like to be wrong or is it just in your genes?

1) Vitali never ducked anyone. King is trying to keep Vitali inactive and not fight anyone but Rahman for his first fight back. Vitali just wanted to fight someone in the meantime until Rahman was ready to fight him. However, King/Rahman said it's ok, they'll be ready to fight Vitali in Sept. when Vitali is coming back. But guess what, (proving King/Rahman are straight up bull****ters) now they say they won't fight Vitali until December. They wasted Vitali's time. Vitali could have fought rock or someone in the meantime.

2) Who would duck HASIM RAHMAN. The dude got beat by an 83 year-old Evander Holyfield. Yeah, I'm sure Vitali is scared of Rahman. Nash, you need to use your head, or someone else's if yours cannot figure this one out.

You are just a straight-up liar or totally biased in some way to say Vitali ducked Rahman. That's complete bull****, dude. Big ass dude has injuries and wants to get his feet wet while Rahman is ****ing around but has to go to court to do so because King doesn't like it and you say he is ducking?

I call bull****.

...That's exactly what I said would happen. They acted like they would be ready in September knowing they were going to try and pull the stall to keep VK inactive. Who the **** is King to say what the WBC will allow? Oh yeah, he basically owns the WBC.

....I am so confident in a Vitali victory of Rahman now. Rahman has got nothing to bother VK with.

personally i do c him beating everyone in the division. IMO he bascially is the champion of the HVWYS right now. but if rahman beats him doesn't make him the champ. kidna like hopkins jermain taylor. hopkins was P4P #1 or 2,taylor beat him, doesn't make him #1 or #2.
rahman has sum good power, and can get a shot in, but, he has motivation problems, and not the greatest chin, so he will land a few pnches against vitali. but in the end he will be on the deck

ppl hate both fighters on this board. i have respect for both fighters, but vitali will win. rahman has sum talent, hes jus ****ed up. his loss against tua, and draw should've went his way BOTH times. stoppage was stuopid, n he won the draw fight.
but then he loses to ruiz. aand ye the headbut made him lose against holyfiedl, the decison, but even so.

it seems like when he gets a BIG ppv fight, he blows it.
