Finally a heavyweight fight worth watching and one the fans will wish to see!

[hollister]

Yeah, I can't think of a better heavyweight fight right now, should be a good one.

[Miguel Cotto X 23]

VK will beat him easy.....but if Rahman hit him with a shot like he did to Lewis is OVER.

[jswa17]

Vitaly whoops Rahman. He'll keep Rahman at bay with his long jab and Rock won't be able to get inside. I say Vitaly stops the Rock within 9.

[Pno]

what you cant pick against the guy because you think he is going to lose? you have to be a hater to pick against him? i dont hate him, but i think his size is really the reason he is so hard to fight, i think at some point he will be kayo'd, possibly by rahman

whoa, easy dude!!!

I was saying that because of previous posts from my memory...
I could care less who you pick or what makes him hard to fight / so good. 'to each their own' if you don't hate him, fine by me. if you do hate him, fine by me

if he convincingly wins his next fight / few fights, then the real haters will come out of the wood-work... and even then it still will be 'fine by me'.

Should be interesting but Vitali should win without to much trouble. i say Vitali by Ko in 9.

If VK pulls this off ,then the doubts should go away as far as his right to being the best HW out there right now.
Here is why:

Lewis got knocked out by the rock,if VK can take the rocks best punches and KO's the rock then no doubt he did what Lewis could not do.

I don't know if this fight is worth watching. This fight is as predictable as any HW fight happening lately. Vitali will knock out the Rock for sure and this will be another boring heavyweight fight.

If Rahman comes in and fight like he is capible of he can stop VK. I hope this fight will get signed sealed and delivered because IMO it is just about the best heavyweight fight you can have right now. For an early pick I'll go with Rock via an early stoppage because I'm still not sold on if VK has the stamina to survive a hard fought heavyweight fight for twelve rounds.

Check out his record and see how many late KO he has. If that is not good stamina I don't what is.

I think VK has the advantage. He really uses his size well and he did look better in the Williams fight (DR Frankistein no more?) but he is still rough. The rock will have to wade trough some junk to get to VK and land big punches. The Rock has a good chin - look at the fight with Sanders (that was nuts) - but I don't know if he has the skills to pay the bills against VK.

Im surprised this hasnt been mentioned yet, Their is still a slim chance Rahman could open up that cut above his eye. While it is unlikely Vitali's face is sure to be suspect to that and Hasim MAY or may not go after that....Although that is another thing that worries me, majority of fighters who fight him will go after his face and not his body.

If Vitali happens to beat Hasim Rahman come April, then I would hope to think that Vitali would take on Chris Byrd at this point. Provided they can come to terms with Don King though.


However in my opinion, I think Vitali should sign for options with Don King, like a 2 fight option plan that way Vitali will get his biggest paydays and he could steal the belts from the other champs in King's stable and then bolt by then he would have beat the top in the division and could branch off and hopefully their will be a new pool of contenders outside of Kings stable for Vitali to fight.
