    It is pathetic to see Holyfield and Rahman get another shot at winning a Heavyweight Belt but when you look around to see who actually deserves a crack at the title the candidates are few and far between.

    Which of the fighters below deserve a shot the most?

    Gomez
    Arreola
    Haye
    Dimitrenko
    Chambers
    Bidenko
    Kevin Johnston

    It's not pathetic for Rahman to get a title shot or at least not as bad as Holyfield getting one.The rest are a bunch of bums

    How is it not pathetic for Rahman to get a title shot when he was on the verge of being stopped by fat Toney after being rocked 3times in the last round:patsch

    i agree. at least rahman will be wlad's mandatory. klit will have a year from his dec fight to fight povetkin. this frees wlad up for 2 optionals next year.
    as a fill-in, rahman isn't terrible. he's a big name....expect rahman to fold like a cheap suit with the first right hand wlad lands. wlad tko 2 :yep

    i reckon wlad goes after the wba trinket holder or super hypejob haye during that stretch. expect vitali to fight gomez down the road.

    Toney has fought for a heavyweight belt twice but i suppose you could justify him getting another shot
