    Yes, he obviously has a chnace. But I seriously doubt it's going to happen. Wlad by KO.

    Rahman quit against James Toney who hits probably 5 times less than Klitschko. I see an early KO, like the first 3 rounds. Then his name will be hashim' Nomore.

    Toney proved that he has more left than Rahman.

    Neverthless, Rahman has a small chance of landing his overhand right hand. Rahaman has always done well against big sized guys in the past.

    Who has Rahman fought lately that has Klitschko's height and handspeed for his size? I could see Glass jaw Rahman getting KOed by a jab.

    So currently we're running at...85% thinking Wlad will win, 7.5% think Rahman will win, and 7.5% don't care.

    What would 85%-to-7.5% be like in terms of fight odds?

    I think Rahmann is coming out aggressive early and will pay dearly for it. Watch for the Wlad right hook counter after Rahmann lunges with long right. Goodnight.

    I think Waldo will be cautious during the first rounds, well aware of Rahman powerful right hand.

    Is this on Versus where we ususally see an overweight rahman sleep his way through fights.... i think rahman is showing up to take the money, find an easy way to lose, then retire

    Maybe Wlad didn't underestimate any of his opponents after Sanders loss.

    Still he got Kd'd by Peter who looked amateurish against Vitali to say the least. He was also KO'd by Brewster.

    Rahman has great reach and can punch. If he comes to fight that night, he has a good chance of breaking Wlad's glass jaw.

    Rahman could certainly score the upset. Anybody with a punch could TKO Wlad. And the Rock can punch.

    both people in your avatar would be embarrassesed by it.

    WLAD couldn't seal the deal, she wasn't interested...and that comes from a source close to WLAD. They are friends.

    I'd like to see him beat Wladimir but it probably won't happen. Wlad TKO.
