I never knew he did to be honest. I'd like to read something on it, if you have it

PH|LLA · 08-10-2010, 09:43 PM

probably cause he was too chicken to fight such an elite opponent

THEBODYSHOT · 08-10-2010, 09:58 PM

hahahahahahahahhahahahahahahaha He probally didnt wanna kill the guy and get no more fights

Marnoff · 08-10-2010, 10:04 PM

Injuries. It was incredibly frustrating at the time.

jpab19 · 08-10-2010, 10:09 PM

I'd imagine it had something to do with all the injuries he's had.

injuries

Yea...Injuries. 4 times is pretty disgraceful though. Rahman was a decent threat back then.

such an elite opponent got whipped twice by an old man Maskaev. How can anyone even think vitali was scared to fight that bum.

When Rahman will retire for good...he'll be remembered for 3 things.

He underwent two surgeries in LA hospitals during the preparation period. I believe one on his knee and once he had a herniated disc in his back.

It was during one of those short stretches where Rahman was looking pretty good, and combine that with Vitali claiming injuries, he didn't want a piece of the Rock.

Of course in hindsight, the idea of Vitali avoiding Rahman seems ridiculous... but backing out of a fight 4 times is almost Povetkin-like!

He was scared shitless of Rahman. After faking a couple of injuries he asked WBC if he was allowed to fight Brock and then Rahman. He got a no, hours later he was injured again and then retired.
