    Solid post. :good

    It's a shame, because the Rahman from '98-'01 would've sparked Povetkin cold within 5 rounds.

    Rahman is done. I'm giving him no chance at all in this one.

    You want to compare a shot Donald to a shot Holyfield?, seriously? :patsch

    One thing they have in common, they didn't need to be in their primes to beat and get robbed against Valuev.

    Rahman was past it 5 years ago when he fought Wlad.

    If he can do any damage against Povetkin, it will be a terrible indictment of the heavyweight division.

    Rahman is completely shot to ****, I predict a Povetkin KO.

    Povetkin would have little to no chance against the brothers.

    It's simple. Fight will be won at the scales.

    Rahman comes in shape and Povetkin does not, Rahman wins by KO.

    Rahman comes in shape and so does Povetkin, Rahman loses by UD.

    I don't see Rahman coming into bad shape. EMM and Rahman himself have said the weights been coming off ever since he went to Duke University and got on this diet.

    Rahman is way too slow to win against Povetkin, he'll look way better than against Huck.
    The WBA is a farce of an organization. Their belt is a joke as far as I am concerned.

    The best thing I read about this fight today:

    - On these pictures Rahman looks like he's 70 years old...
    - True. If they made a movie about this fight today, Rahman could be played by Morgan Freeman.

    Short answer - YES.

    Long answer - If he's in shape it will still be a battle. I'm anxious to see this one play out if Rock is in shape & ready for Povetkin.

    Rudolph, while he indeed looks older he is getting a lot of **** on here just because he's been on the scene so long. The man KO'd Lennox when he was 27, now he's 39 turning 40 this year. He's been in the spotlight a really long time which bothers a bunch of people since every1 thinks he is just a fluke.

    Rahman has not KOed anyone above C level in years. He is as shot as it gets.
