id rather see holyfield get a shot than the rock...and wee all know how bad holy is...in a real world he should be fighting a top 10 guy not some old guy its ridiculas
Well, this newly created belt does add a bit of competition and hunger to the divisoin again. It gives fighters hope that they can possibly become a champ, even if a kiddie title is all they get for their efforts.
I agree with Lamont Sanford..... Rahman in another title fight here in 2011 is a funny joke to the maxi-pad..... MR.BILL
Rahman doesnt know how to fight Russians. He cant adapt to the style. We seen that against Maskaev X2, and Vitali Klitschko. If Povetkin was American I could think that he could stand a chance. But he is not so no.
I was so disappointed with Rahman's lousy 250+ pounds of baggage when he challenged Wlad Klit in Germany back in '08...... That was the icing on the cake for me....... Please, no more "Ruiz or Rahman" in title fights ever again..... Yes, Yes, Evan Fields is there too, however, let him get a final shot at glory against the limited Al Pov...... If he loses to Pov in Dec., well, he's finally done as an elite fighter....... Many folks already feel that Evan Fields is already well done like a Porterhouse steak on the grill...... MR.BILL
Wlad does not fight the "Eastern style" like Povetkin. Povetkin has no defence and Rahman has a punchers chance if he comes in good shape.
You gonna tell me that with a straight face and expect me to believe that? Maskaev knocked Rahman out in one of the worst ko's in boxing history. But I am suppose to think that Rahman could ko Povetkin who is another Russian but probably better.
What the hell is wrong with the WBA at heavyweight? atsch The WBA 'regular' title for the last 10 years... Ruiz vs Holyfield > Ruiz UD Ruiz vs Holyfield > Draw Ruiz vs Johnson > Ruiz DQ10 Ruiz vs Jones > Jones UD Ruiz vs Rahman > Ruiz UD* Ruiz vs Oquendo > Ruiz TKO11 Ruiz vs Golota > Ruiz UD Ruiz vs Toney > NC Ruiz vs Valuev > Valuev MD Valuev vs Beck > Valuev TKO3 Valuev vs Barrett > Valuev TKO11 Valuev vs McCline > TKO3 Valuev vs Chagaev > Chagaev MD Chagaev vs Skelton > Chagaev UD Chagaev vs Drummond > Chagaev TD6 Valuev vs Haye > Haye MD* Haye vs Ruiz > Haye TKO9 Haye vs Harrison > Haye TKO3 Chagaev vs Povetkin > Povetkin UD* Povetkin vs Holyfield > ??? None of this fights featured the #1 HW at that moment in time... NONE! next... Povetkin vs Rahman ?
