    The real Rock, Marciano probably almost spun himself out of his grave. Disgraceful evening.

    No one forces him to keep that bogus belt.

    holyfield would have gotten to 6 and maybe even hit povetkin with a nice combo/hard shot on the chin.

    You would be completely right if not one nuance: WBA is notoriously known to do, what they are paid for. For example, they can create a "regular champion" with existing "super champion", so if such man as a Rahman of today becomes a mandatory - ask who is to profit?

    :lol::lol::lol::lol:He's real, true. But he needs about 10 wins as a legitimate champion before he's on either's level of greatness. :D

    I agree that Holyfield has the far superior chin, but think back to the Toney fight some 10 yrs ago. Nuff said?

    Holyfield can be hurt by guys who can box some. Sasha can box some. He'd seriously hurt Evander.:-(

    Povetkin just iced the former unified lineal champ from the last era, which as we all know is the second best era ever. Wow amazing victory for Povetkin. The Rock was still well under 40 and to think a near 50 year old Foreman was able to win the lineal champion back in the 90's. Povetkin's the real deal.


    The current HW rankings.

    1. Wlad
    2. Povetkin
    3. Vitali.

    I know Rahman was a sparring partner tonight but...
    Povetkin looked good on the inside & finishing tonight.

    Might have to jump on the bandwagon there.
    (Alot of people seemed bothered by him tho..?)
