    Rahman seemingly came in better shape than for Povetkin, but got beaten by 5'10" unknown Nansen 3-2, 1 ko.

    And this opponent lost to 0-10 guy in his last fight. And was knocked out by Chauncy Welliwer's victim in 1st round.

    I think you can't find today more spent boxer than Hasim except Danny Williams, who just lost to the equal novice punching bag this weekend.

    It's so sad to see former champion and challenger to get beaten by cab drivers or office workers, I think Holyfield even at 52 beats these opponents easily.

    Indeed, it was very sad to see. Rahman and Danny Williams are both shot to ****. James Toney is also shot, but he would destroy Rahman and Williams both in 1 night.

    Horrible to see this, as a Rahman fan especially. A guy that was such a beast in his day that can't even hold his own with lower competition. I always thought he should win a decent fight and hang em up but now he can't even beat a 0-40 guy, let alone a scrappy NZ underdawg in a tournament. I had to see this...why did his team let him get in there?!?

    He looked shot against Povetkin.Now, he is shot to pieces. Should not be allowed to box anymorein my opinion.

    he lost a 3 rounder big deal, a fight is 10 or 12 rounds unless a ko happens

    a 3 rounder means nothing.

    I am stunned. Nansen? Wow. Did he even land any damaging shots? Sprott looks like he's gonna take it. He was my pick to win.

    If it went 10 or 12 rounds, he might have been knocked out. Rahman was gassed after 60 seconds and was ridiculously slow. It was embarassing to see him like this.

    If I (of 138 pounds) had to fight any "active" heavyweight in the world that I can name off the top of my head without any use of boxrec, Hasim Rahman would likely make the short list. EDIT: not "would likely," just plain "would"

    If the fight went any longer, he may have died of a heart attack

    Funny thing is, 3rd or not he prob threw about 20 punches the whole fight and lucky if 3 connected, he was slow and his timing was awful...a fat but active frans Botha would have done better

    Rahman shouldn't be allowed in the ring anyway. He's beyond past it.
