    He KO'd a young Corey Sanders and I'm willing to bet that he has enough Pop to put Wlad to sleep if he can connect.

    I can't believe it - HBO still doesn't have Klitschko/Rahman listed on their website.

    I subscribed to HBO a few days ago, got like 7 HBOs, all in HD for $14.99/month...but I haven't seen any commercials for the fight yet...

    ^Because you didn't see the advertisements for Klischko-Rahman on the boxing cards.

    Ya, but I don't usually watch most of the other weight classes.

    So someone who just watches light heavy and up, or any casual fan for that matter, how are they supposed to know this fight is on HBO?

    I haven't seen any ads during regular programming, and nothing on the website, I can't find a press release. Dan Rafael mentions it on ESPN.com in the rankings, but that's it. Strange...

    Well, Wlad's chin is mediocre at best, so having enough power to KO him still does not make Rahman "huge puncher".

    I think most of Wlad's opponents had more than enough power to put him to sleep, the problem was usually about connecting.

    Most opponents are totally puzzled as to how to land and be consistent with Wladimir, Corrie Sanders was the obvious exception and no fluke.
