    "The greatest impression Rahman made on me were his physical dimensions. He looks like he has a contract with a famous American fast food restaurant chain"

    “He is probably around 290 pounds right now and has a real McDonalds face. But he is mandatory and we have to face him.”


    On Rahman not being on the fight poster:

    "This was the problem with the posters. All we had were old photos of Rahman. But you have to realize that he got so fat now, that nobody would have recognized him from his current photo. We asked him to take off his shirt to take a photo and he refused. If we would have placed his old photo on the fight posters, and then the fans would look at him now - we would have been called liars and the fans would have asked for refunds and said 'that's not him, Povetkin is fighting a different guy"

    "We offered to take his photo but he refused to take his shirt off because his belly was sagging down to his knees"

    -Vladimir Hryunov

    This is a good stay-busy fight for Rahman before his showdown with Vitali.

    He's supposed to be promoting this fight :lol:

    And Povetin's manager has no right to criticise any opponent's condition until the pot bellied no stamina having Russian can get himself into shape.

    you have to see it differently: if even the manager of an untrained **** like povetkin criticizes someone in regard to his physique then there really must be something to it...

    That's how they promote it in Russia.

    Hryunov is one of the greatest shittalking promoters today. Icecold mother****er. Rock better come back with something. Or even better, let the fists do the talking. Knock the blocks off of Povetkin and make Hryunov look like a damn fool.

    poster of Povetkin vs. Rahman :lol:

    "Those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. [Hyrunov] should look in the mirror. He doesn't look so good. Hasim looks a lot better than him," Cohen said (Rahman's promoter)

    "Greg, the promoter is not supposed to look pretty, and that's why you're working as a promoter as well," Hyrunov said.

    Can you provide a source for that? Not even saying you're lying but what's the point of copy/pasting an article without the source?
