    Does 3% compute?

    anywhere from 1.5 to 5%

    Man how insane would the HW division be if Rahman somehow pulled it off though? Gotta imagine it'd be the end of boxing as we know it.

    A very slim chance. If Rah hits him with a big 'un he'll drop him, Wlad can't take a punch. However, Wlad is better than Rah ever was and Rah is shot. I don't think we'll hear the bell for the third.

    Rahman will get KO'd easily... and my reaction will be - "Damn, the Puerto Rican mafia must've gotten to him too."

    i doubt they could really promote the fight on Rahman's KO over Lennox, in the second fight Rahman stopped fighting and started to cry, i have never seen anything so bizzare in any sport.

    Sure, he has a chance. Of course he does.

    Rahman will need to establish his jab and try to keep Wlad on the back foot. His hope will be to land a hail mary punch that detatches Klitschko from his senses and then not let him off the hook should he get up.

    However, Rahman seems bored at the prospect of fighting Klitschko and from what I have seen in the build up doesn't bode well for him. I reckon Klitschko should have Rahman out of there by the eighth.

    But, I'll be rooting for Rahman in this one.

    Rahman's ability to take a punch is FAR worse than Wlad's. Klitschko has never been knocked the f*ck out like Rahman has, several times.
