Pudar is probably better than the current version of Rahman. At least he's in decent shape. He's still **** though.
Rahman looks good to me in the pics I saw. He was definitely much lighter. I'd say 245-255. He can be 245 because of his massive frame. The dude is built like an NFL linebacker. Also, given his age I think 245-250 is acceptable. WAR RAHMAN!
If true I have no problem with this. This fight will only be a warm up for Wlad. Povetkin has to face Wlad early next year anyway so this will have to be inbetween that. Better this than sitting on his arse. No serious poster can really expect Povetkin to be taking on a highly ranked top 30 type of opponent prior to his biggest payday and definitive fight.
Chagaev top 10 Huck CW World champ Boswell top 30 Rahman mandatory and not to mention this fight was supposed to have happen during July only for Rahman to pull out.
:good you're probably right about that mate. And his recent opponents - Nascimento and Zumbano, as mediocre as they are, are better than any of Rahman's latest victims!
Povetkin needs to grow a pair of balls and fight Klitschko, I mean FIGHT Klitschko, not just get in the ring and flop to the canvas everytime he gets within punching range.
IF.......IF.......Potvetin beats Rahman, which is about 70/30 fight IMO, he has until Dec 1 to sign to fight Wladimir before March of 2013. He's got the mandate sot he money will not be an issue. IMO.....Sasha is willing to throw away his 0 for the payday. He can then get into contention for Vitali's vacant belt.
