    'Little Rock' does looking quite promising, see how he does in the years ahead.

    As for Rahman Sr, last run I guess. Hoping for one more good payday then call it a career, I think the next loss will be his last one. He hasn't really looked good in a fight in years.

    Step one is getting into decent shape again, rather than that 264 pound blob he was last time. Rahman's always had that bad habit of getting seriously out of shape when he's down after a loss.

    I don't think it's cause he's down. He probably just eats a lot in general.

    Also I never got the hatred for Rahman. I just bought 24 of his fights on dvd for 35 bucks. Dude has had some extremely entertaining fights.

    Holyfield, Maskaev I, Sanders, Toney I, all exciting or at least entertaining. Even some of his club fights (Meehan, Calloway, T. Lewis) were brutal to watch.

    Word was Rahman was 300 before his last fight so he lost over 30 pounds. He also went right back to the gym. I think he will be 245-250 for his next fight. Then for the Tua rematch he will most certainly be under 240.

    Tua stands no chance against Rahman in a third fight.

    Uh Rahman is completely shot. Talk about a bull**** post. There also is no 3rd Rahman fight planned.

    Funny because this is what was said in their second fight.

    Rahman came in out of shape and took Tua to school.

    Calling me a liar? Rahman told Dan Rafael of ESPN that a 3rd fight with Tua is looking likely. Tua and Rahman have to get W's in their June fights.

    And Rahman, overweight, took Tua to school. He will do it again.

    I guess you would rather see a boring Klitschko fight.

    Did a Pacific Islander sit on your hand on the tramcar?

    I am a 5 hour drive from Buffalo but a plane ride is pretty short. I figure I can get decent tickets since it's not a huge event, more of a local one. I want to see him fight before he hangs em up.
