If today's HW division is so terrible, then why didn't Rahman win?

He is totally shot. And, he only won the lineal championships by KO'ing Lewis, an impressive feat but 1 punch doesn't make him an ATG/HOF. He was a poor lineal champ.

 

1- Not one person said the 80's was better you moron.

2- The 90's is better, you can make a case for any other era but not the 90's. Prime Lewis would have knocked out Povetkin using his jab alone and you should know that.


3- I got a counter question for you.

Explain how despite the fact there are more Eastern Euros at 140-175, they have horrible records mostly and only have a few elite fighters.

Yet the HEAVYWEIGHT division which everyone says is horrible have MORE Eastern Euros ranked as compare to LHW,SMW,WW,MW etc.... the divisions that actually have elite fighters......

 

Because he's old as hell and can barely even speak or even think coherently

The fact that he can even contend for a title and was a mandatory challenger for a belt makes this era even more pathetic

Foreman was a different story, he was relatively healthy and wasn't shot to hell like Rahman

The 90s and the 80s are both stronger than this b*tch era

 

The fact that he became a mandatory challenger for the belt alone indicates how horrible the division is.. you should know that.
Come on.. a non top 100 guy is a mando for Povetkin?
lol,.... Rahman became Mando because of how horrible the era is.

 

Because Rahman was shot. The fact is, if this was a strong or even average era, someone as old and shot as Rahman would never have got two title fights.

 

if there was a such thing as legitimate ratings and not 10 belts, rahman wouldnt have been ranked in the top 100 and this wouldnt be an issue

 

atsch Have you ever to the time to think that maybe his age has something to do with it??

You guys are ****ing stupid at times!:verysad

 

You are not following logic, everyone else did.


1- The SMW-LHW Divisions have MORE Eastern Euros competing there than HW.

The only difference is that there are more fighters from OTHER nations competing there as well..


2- There are MORE Eastern European SWW-MW's than HW'S... yet because there are elite fighters from other nations there as well, it evens out.


Your logic will only make sense if Eastern Europeans have MORE heavyweights as compare to their other division fighters. .They don't. The other divisions are also PACKED with Eastern Euros, they are just much lower ranked..



3- Rahman became challenger, that says it all for this era.
