Rachman's only chance (IMO)

[!!Captain]

There is alot of talk about Rahman rushing after Vitali, but I would not be surprised to see Vit go after Rahman hard from the first bell like against Lewis and Johnson.
1. Vitali does not like Rahman.
2. Vitali is rusty and may worry about a long fight.
3. Rahman showed he could not take Barrett's shots well.
4. If it does not work well for Vitali he can just shut down in the mid rounds to rest and know that Rahman will be comfortably inhabbiting his shell.
5. Did I mention Vitali does not like Rahman.

I think Vit going after Rock will screw with Rock's head and give Vitali a good chance at a early knockout. Even without a quick knockout, Rahman will take several rounds to get out of his jab - move - jab - hug mode giving Vit a good lead on the cards.

Rahman could be playing possum in the fight with Barrett, I don't care what anybody says but that fight was fixed just to get Rahman shot at Vitali. Vitali is the most cool-headed and athletic boxer out there today, he will take his time. I doubt he will rush Rahman.

Your probably right, but it doesn't hurt to hope

I feel kinda bad for Rahman. He stands little chance in this fight, but if he does manage to pull it off, it will be blamed on ring rust and injuries on the part of Big Klit.

why do so many misspell and mis-pronounce rahman's name? its pronounced RA-Man. Not Rachman, like every idiot announcer seems to say. reminds me of idiotic reporters who would mispronounced Tupac's name.

Are you sure about that? Why do they call him Haseem "The Rock" Rahman then? It is pronounced Rock-Mon! Never ever heard it pronounced any different and he always refers to himself in interviews in the third person and he calls himself Haseem Rock-Mon!

[Mike_R]

it's spelled rahman- but it's indeed pronounced 'rock-man'. i have a friend at work with the same last name. he's a black ****** but i'm not sure if that's the origin of the name or not.

Rahman has less of a chance than Sanders did IMO. He is much slower and doesn't quite hit as hard as Corrie. If Sanders couldn't successfully blitz him, I don't think Rahman has the capability to do so.

Hasim has about as much of a chance as Williams, which is a respectable one going into the fight but pretty much nil once he feels the hard leather Vitali will be slinging his way.

Rahman just doesn't have the chin to survive against a taller, stronger man with a stiff jab. He is going to get hurt, and hurt bad.

Vitali Klitschko by stoppage in round six.

are you joking when you say Sanders hits harder than Rahman? why does everyone think Sanders has so much power?

[DiegoFuego]

It's spelled Rahman and said Rock-Man. He's a ******, idiots.

rahman himself said that sanders hit him the hardest(prior to rahman getting KO'd by lewis)... sanders KO'd al cole in 1 round, a guy who just went the distance in a close fight with rahman and is usualy very durable... sanders also has early KO's of other durable fighters... its really sanders only strenght, his quick, powerful left hand...

[TheEvilSaint]

rahman's power is overrated and vitalis chin is underrated. people rate rahman's power based on his one punch KO of the weak chinned lennox lewis. and what impressive KO has rahman had since then?

... thats what i thought.
