Rachman's only chance (IMO)

[enadeus]

Sanders does hit harder than Rahman. Sanders has a terrific punch he just rarely comes in shape to fights cause he doesn't really care anymore about boxing. Rahman's only chance is to rush Vitali, but then Vitali will counter him in the rush. My guess is if Rahman doesn't get it done in the first round all those shots he will take to his head will get him too dizzy to think out any significant punching executions. He's going down mid rounds.

Its Ra-man, like the noodles basically. Remember after he knocked out Lewis and they showed that thing on ESPN where people couldn't pronounce his name correctly? Some DJ was interviewing him and kept ****ing it up and asking how to say it. Rahman kept saying Ra-man, not Rock-man. He's obviously just accepted that **** won't say his name correctly.

I bet you have black friends, Mike R. And I bet you know the exact number. And especially the exact number that's been to your house. He's a black ****** huh? Why'd you say black?

Yeah, I have 14 black friends named Rahman and they all pronouce it like its spelled, so ha.

[Calabrese]

It's pronounced Rah-man. Whoever says differently is a moron.

Rahman just says Rock-Man because his nickname is "Rock" so it's just logical to say that I guess, I don't know. But in no way would the ah in Rahman be pronounced as a ck sound, no ****ing way. That's just going against English.

quite the psychologist. i applaud you my friend.

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!

it is pronounced rah-man,,,,,but his nickname is the rock so everyone calls him rockman

[beez721]

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

because he does have so much power. 18 first round knockouts,,,more than both lennox lewis and either klitschko. the only heavy to be able to knockout durable al cole and he did it in the first round. he can crack,,but unfortuntely for him he has no defense or stamina

Apologize if this question was asked before, but what's with the "A Russian butt-****ed me" under your name?

[Riptor]

Rahman actually has a chance. Remember in Lennow Lewis fight with Vitali. Vitali ate right hads all night. (So did Lewis) Anyway Rock only has two punches in his arsenal a left jab and a right cross. His right hand definitely has power in it. If he doesnt chase klitchko and lets klitchko come after him and sends right hands at him and keeps him thiking with his jab then rock has a chance. Otherwise doesnt look good. It also depends on which Rahman comes to the fight. The underachiever or the fighter.

i said black ****** because he's a black ******. cut the PC bull**** please.

(edit)- ps- i'm sure it's possible that different people pronounce it differently? but the guy i work with told me it was 'rock-man'. i asked specifically because of hasim rahman, and i noticed he had the same last name so i asked him how he pronounced it. and he told me 'rock-man', confirming the pronunciation of all the commentators etc.

and just for the record (and i don't expect you to care at all) i really don't appreciate you pulling the race card like that. completely uncalled for and really rather ignorant considering you don't know anything about me, and never will.

i don't think rahman's best chance is to jump on vitali and try to pummel as soon as the bell rings. i think, perhaps, his best chance is to gradually put in more work as the fight goes on. but having said that, vitali like to be a bit defensive in some rounds to take a rest and gets his second wind around rounds 6 to 8. he picks up the pace from there.

hopefully, he prepares well and isn't too rusty in the ring.
