    Delusional. 53 years old, looks more like 73.

    A World Hotdog Eating Championship, maybe. But that’s about it.

    He should rematch Povetkin. That fight was stopped way early, I think.

    It's impossible. Rahman wasn't even elite in his prime and now he's 53. Unless this era is somehow the weakest era in the last 70 years Rahman is getting violently slept by the first top 100 guy he faces. Although if he somehow broke Foremans record i honestly wouldn't even give him credit. I'd chalk it down to an aberration of the world

    This is a terrible idea on every possible level.

    Brain damage and the UFC 'just bleed' guy disagree with you.

    It is the weakest in 70 years. He's not elite, but if he won you wouldn't give him any credit? That's garbage talk....

    I don't think it is. Marcianos era was much weaker, I'd also say it has more depth than the 60s (not better top talent). Its also about the same level as the Klitschko era and the late 70s was pretty terrible. I wouldn't call it a golden age but it's decent and Usyk is a h2h monster

    But if Rahman somehow wins a title then yes it would have to be the weakest era in history. It would be a terrible look, worse than Verhoeven beating Usyk

    Is he going to even be able to make it to the ring? His knees were buckling when he was walking to the ring to fight Povetkin. And he had to use the ropes to support himself. Zero balance and zero durability and that was well over 10 years ago. He can't beat anyone in the top 200 now. a Hungarian or Czech binman would lay him out.

    I want to start off by saying this is a bad idea. However, Rahman is probably dead broke, so if he has to fight some journeymen for a living, so be it. It's also hard not to feel bad for the guy. He has been on the wrong end of the stick in so many of his fights. That first Tua fight was a complete robbery. It was such an early stoppage, and if anything, Tua should have been disqualified for hitting after the bell.
