Peter - Rahman at 6 October

:yep

 

I think Rahman has been really successful in his boxing career.
No amateur career, nowhere else to go, he's made the best of things, and won the WBC belt twice.
He has a bad jaw, fair enough, but don't ridicule the man.

 

Regardless of why Rahman is being pressed to get the fight is not important. The fact is that if he gets the fight, he has a chance to win the interim title, and Rahman clearly don't deserve that, period. Also, he most certianly don't deserve it, when you have McCall wanting it, and who is ranked just below Peter, and who has already been promised a WBC titleshot.

F*** King and Rahman. They don't deserve this fight. Give it to someeone who does deserve it;

McCall or Virchis, period. Giving this titleshot to anyone else is wrong.

 

Oh, I agree with you on the merits - someone like McCall or Virchis SHOULD get the shot.

But Rahman, with his fragile whiskers, produces some spectacular KOs. Seeing him rendered unconscious again will produce excitement! Will he get starched in the middle of the ring again, or will he get knocked right the hell out of the ring again?? Aren't ya the least bit interested?:huh

 

Rahman dont deserve the shot, he got a little rocked against Sykes a couple months back whos a C type fighter at best what do you think a fighter like Peter will do to him.

 

I think Rahman deserves the shot based on that he was the last wbc belt holder.
I also think that some people are over estimating Peter. Yeah, I think that Peter can knock out Rahman, but Peter is a really bad boxer. Really bad. I think Peter's power is VERY overrated as well. It's good, but he has yet to KO anyone that is not a bum. Rahman manged to survive against Tua in thier rematch. Tua is light years ahead of Peter in terms of actually delivering that power shot.
On the flip side, Rahman is on the decline. Peter has a very good chance to KO him.

I think I'd rather see McCall fight Peter. McCall has done more to desrve the shot in recent days, plus his chin is seeminly indestructable.


I'd also like to add that there should be no "interem" fight. Just give the belt to the winner. It's fairly obvious that Maskaev has no interest in defending the title against anyone with a pulse. He's done nothing but postpone since winning that belt. Strip him and do it now.

 

Not a good Situation for rahman at the moment because hes far from his best shape and he cant get in best shape in just 2 weeks. If i would be Rahman i would not make it. Tua is in a much better position to do that, his weight is down and is most definately back in training already for his next fight.

 

guys i am going to go out on a limb here and say rahman outboxes peter for a 12 round decision. peter showed he can be outboxed (toney - he won the first fight, wlad), rahman has outboxed strong punchers before (look up tua 1 and 2). I just really dont buy into sam peter at all sorry. and i see rahman getting up for this one.

 

rahman is no longer a contender, peter would crush him

 

Rahman is over the hill and presents no threat to Peter. It is really just a question of how early we all think Peter will take him out.

Peter deserves an easy match like this, after that coward Maskaev pulled out at such short notice.

 

atsch
Explain further

 

At this point Rahman is just a name fighter with no real chance.

 

I'll be the first to predict a Rahman victory here, just so long as Rahman doesn't come in at an all time high weight for him. He's a far better boxer WITH A ****IN' JAB that should be able to keep that "one trick pony" Peter at bay all night long. Bye, bye, Sam Peter by decision or late TKO.

 

Rahman's best days are behind him. He would be overmatched if he ended up getting the fight. McCall should try to sneak into this fight like he did with Saleta. Iron chin vs. iron chin. What more could u ask for?

 

For a Klistchko fan it doesn't make Wlad look too good when u call one of his biggest scalps a one trick pony but then again Klitschko fans aren't exactly the brightest people to begin with. Rahman would be lucky to make it to the 7th or 8th round against Peter.
