Are VITALI's no-shows vs. RAHMAN part of the Rock's LEGACY

Weren't you just crying in another thread also about making sure my entire post was there before I posted, because you like to "respond and quote accurately"? Yet, you take little parts out of the post that you think you can defend anyways? Talk about being inconsistent....

 

Rahman did knockout Sanders, the same one that put his brother to sleep in the 2nd round. I'm not saying Rahman's an ATG or anything, but he was always known for his big right hand, which made quick work of Kali Meehan, the same fighter that gave a close competitve fight with Brewster a few months before, the same Brewster that knocked Wlad out. I think you see the connection now, Rahman is no push over, he had draws with both Toney and Tua, the 2nd time, which I thought he won both fights.

 

The Rahman vs Sanders fight was stopped while Sanders was on his feet, and Rahman was landing punch after punch... not exactly proof of well known one punch knockout power. Kali Meehan was a bad route for you to take. Danny Williams knocked out Kali Meehan in 32 seconds. Doesn't look like that scared Vitali away from fighting Danny did it? I think you see that there is no connection now.

 

Beyond everything that I just proved as nonsense... why can't you look at that facts there were actual serious injuries, and surgeries that took place? You are making a statement about Vitali being scared to fight Rahman... when the man actually HAD TO UNDERGO SURGERY! What on earth do you want form the man? For him to fight with a torn meniscus and MCL in his knee? Are you kidding? Do you think that he stayed out of boxing for the last 3 1/2 years becuase of his fear of Rahman? Get back to reality.

 

Well, he was suppose to fight Tyson, since he lost, he got big money for fighting Williams, which was on PPV. I do believe Vitali questioned his chin in training camp, if the credible sources of him being knocked down by two sparring partners in training camp is true, then I believe he was truly concerned about his chin holding up against a guy with knockout power like Rahman.

 

You call a guy who is employed by the two guys a credible source? Did you not know that he was caught up in two different interviews once saying that Walker dropped Vitali in training, and in another interview when talking about Butler, he said that Butler dropped Vitali in training. He was working with BOTH of those fighters, and they were hyping up an event that they both co-headlined. When confronted about him saying that it was one, then the other... he began saying that they both did it. How convenient. :yep He then said that Walker dropped him with a left hook to the body, and that Butler dropped him with a short right to the face. C'mon... it's just nonsense. First of all, it was already widely reported that Vitali and his sparring partner twisted legs and fell to the canvas, which is how Vitali injured his knee in the first place. Then, Vitali tried sparring two rounds with a brace on his knee, and his knee couldn't hold up, and it would give way as he tried to move around the ring.

Once again, you are taking this away from the fact that Vitali was actually injured, and actually underwent surgery. That alone gives you no ground to stand on... unless you are pretending like Vitali purposely injured himself and ruined his career out of fear of Rahman.:-(

 

Regarding Rahmans legacy, he fought a badly prepared Lennox Lewis and took advantage, winning the fight to become a unified champ. There's 2 things he has over VITLAY for a start, VITLAY hit Lewis with his best shots and nothing happened, and VITLAY fought a much worse version of Lewis than Rahman did.

Thems the facts, but I suspect the Klit fans will spin on....

 

...

 

Well the article was in the scene that discusses boxing, and the other one I read was here at ESB, It probably happend, but none of us was there so we cant confirm, all we know is Butler knocked Vitali down and on the way down he twisted his knee, causing him to cancel his fight with Rahman, which makes perfect sense to me.

 

Nobody deserves credit for a fight that didn't take place.

 

Some facts, mostly your opinions.

 

atsch Whatever.

 

No, they are a part of Vitali's legacy.

 

Feel free to seperate the opinions from the facts and argue them out.

 

Who are you talking about? Wlad? :huh
