Hasim Rahman Appreciation Thread

Looking forward to the last 3 spot of this tournament being filled.

 

I can't pass judgement. Steward had him well scouted. He looked like he did against Lewis in the rematch. He struggles to get off against busy pressuring jabs.

I'll only call him out for the Povetkin effort, where he clearly didn't bother to get any kind of shape and folded quickly.

 

hopefully he has some BALANCE this time around

 

I just think Rahman, in shape and focused, can still make a splash against lesser fighters, aka the guys in this tourney. No one in this thing is elite. Be nice to see Rahman go out on top.

 

Very under appreciated fighter. The Tua fights still make me mad. Him going out with some decent wins like this, would be good.

 

He said if he won the tournament he would pursue a Tua match. Would love to see him go out with 4 wins like that.

 

Hopefully his ring walk music will be "The Champ is Here" again LOL

Kali Meehan is prolly scared to get in there again with him.

 

I know Meehan claimed injury, but Rahman ****ed him up really bad. He steamrolled a guy who arguably beat Brewster for the WBO, so that was a big and under the radar type win. Rahman did it all that night by jabbing, moving, firing to the body, etc.

 

That was quite possibly his best performance. When he is that motivated & dedicated he is downright scary.

I think that was when he was sending a statement to the division. It really is too bad what all happened, as one of his entire prime years was wasted due to Vitali's shenanigans. Yes I'm sure it would of been a Vitali win but that whole on again off again wasted his dang prime time.

 

If motivated, Rahman would have given Vitali issues, but I would have picked Vitali.

 

Oh yeah I can see him charging in & really giving him troubles as he don't like to get hit. I honestly thought Briggs would of done more damage that was pretty pathetic overall on his efforts. In 05 though Rock would have brought the pain.

Do any you guys know if the Super 8 is going to be broadcast on TV or online for ppv stream or something?

 

Not sure, but if it's available online, then I will buy.

 

Yes me too i'm hoping that it is available. Would be terrible to want to see it so bad and just read the updates.

They need to hurry and release the other opponents!

 

Alonzo Butler joined Super 8 today.

 

Rahman will not win this tournament, he is badly shot.... reflexes, balance and any sort of punch rresistance he had is now gone... My money is on Peter winning this thing, providing he comes in half decent shape. Sprott has an outside chance as well.....
