    I think Brock has the same power as Sam Peter. He ko'd Yuri Foreman better than Peter KO'd cruiserweight Jeremy Williams..Brock has no power?

    You mean Zuri Lawrence right? And it's hard to say which KO was more brutal - when both guys are out before they hit the canvas and are unconscious, it's hard to chose.

    Peter hits much harder than Calvin Brock

    Yeah, and his chin isn't so great either. But Rahman's is about the worst in the division since Herbie Hide. Brock would do to him what he did to Zuri Lawrence. COUNT on it. And I don't think much of Brock either.

    Rahman clearly didn't take his last opponent very seriously, so I think it's hard to judge what he has left after that fight.

    I remember some years ago he was badly out of shape in the Tua rematch as well, yet he got himself back into shape for subsequent fights - all the way up to the loss against Maskaev.

    I think Rahman could beat Brock if he gests in decent shape and persists with his solid jab. Part of the reason he lost to Maskaev was because he abandoned it for significant periods, allowing Maskaev to go on the offensive.

    IBF eliminator?

    What would be the point of putting Brock in there with Wlad again?

    I'd pick Brock. Not that I thin Brock is that impressive. He always struck me as a pretty basic fighter... nothing outstanding positive or negative. I just figured he got as far as he did due to the division being in such crappy shape. Anyone who has reasonable skill and the ability to KO someone who can string together some wins makes news.
