    He had fights in 2007 where he was tossing tons of shots. Look at the Dicky Ryan fight on Youtube. It was the Meehan fight all over again. He was firing pretty often.

    That was still 5 years ago, against Dicky Ryan no less.

    He's trained no doubt, but Rahman's having his ass handed to him.

    I ain't disagreeing. I watched round one of his last fight. He tossed about 60 shots and didn't look tired doing it.

    If he's active, uses his size to push Povetkin around, I can see him giving him trouble. Ultimately, Povetkin by late KO or UD. But Imma root hard for Rahman tomorrow.

    Besides Tua, Peter was about the thickest set dude I've ever seen in boxing, and even he was sporting a gut (albeit one with a six pack) when he was in the 240s. Rahman isn't approaching the same sort of natural stockiness. That's clear from looking at his face and neck, as well as the general proportions of his body. I have no hesitation in saying if he fought in the sixties or seventies and was serious about his career he'd have been around 220-225, and perfectly fighting fit. Sure, Rahman had a few big wins around 240 but he was also flat footed and gassed easily. The fact that he never had the dedication to get below that weight after hitting the big time doesn't mean that that was his optimum weight. It was simply the upper weight he could get away with, and still get results.

    Anyway, at this stage it doesn't matter what Rahman weighs in at. He's going to lose. Badly.

    That's the tiniest bottle of Stoli I've ever seen. I take it back. Rahman really is a big dude!

    Quit talkin ****. Take it down a notch dog. Your starting to irritate me



    Ok :roll:, so thats why Teddy trained/developed 4 heavyweight champions of the World. Tedddy helped train and develop Mike Tyson and Shannon Briggs into future World Champions. And he was in the corner of Michael Moorer and Alexander Povetkin when they won the Heavyweight Championship.

    Povetkin doesnt look fit. It looks like he didnt have a good training camp to be honest. If he loses that is why and it is his own fault for getting rid of Teddy

    Povetkin always looks soft. He's probably fit enough, just not ripped. At least he wasn't too embarassed to take off his wife-beater like Hasim.

    What excuses are you haters gonna have if Povetkin gets knocked out

    Im telling you it was because he got rid of Teddy Atlas and that is just how it is wether you like it or not
