Povetkin should UD Rahman, but wouldn't rule out Alexander getting caught and knocked out cold though, his chin is like wet toilet paper.
Thompson is Wlad´s mandatory. The IBF would stripp him off the title. Povetkin is another story, he refuses to fight Wlad and he has a paper belt. Wlad is The Champ.
This. If Rahman comes in top shape, between 230-245, he's definitely got a chance at beating Potvetkin and getting a shot at a Klitschko. Not that he could beat either brother, but I would like to see him get KOd by Vitali. :nut
Honestly, given how Povektin looked against Huck I'm not sure Rahman having a remote chance is all that far-flung. Hell, it might even be conceivable for Hasim "Little Rock" Rahman Jr. to sub in for his pop and win the WBA regular HW title in his pro debut! He is after all doing hard work day in day out with the Money Team. #HardWorkDedication
pillsbury doughboy Povetkin is a joke!!! What a pathetic defense! I hope Rahman lands a bomb and renders that goofy paper champ unconcious, how hilarious would that be from an ancient Rahman
I like rahman, but him being a mandatory for anything is a complete joke. he has litterally fought horrible comp in the past few years. it's shocking and povetkin's title reign is getting even less credible if that's possible. even briggs beat better guys to get his undeserved shots. that said, rahman probably has a small shot here. haven't watched povetkin lately, but he used to be pretty hittable and rock still had power last time i looked...
as much as i would like to see POV knocked out cold....there is a reality check that comes to mind which says....Rahman hasnt done **** or beat **** in over 10 years the last 10 years....here are rahmans biggest wins Monte Barrett 2005 Kali Meehan 2004 this is year 2012 and he is nearly 40. he has no chance, ****ing Huck would have beat Rahman that night
