I am telling you this fight will be Danny Williams Part II but Peter won't last as long. To big of a difference in size and skill.
Sam likes the old guys: Toney twice, McCline, Oleg and now a 37 year old Vitali.:nono .. this fight will define him. Frankly, Valuev should have been in the cards.
Maybe so, but he retired after the hell that Williams gave him, that much is fact. I suppose you could re-phrase it and say he retired because of Hasim Rahman, either way it doesn't make the over-rated Glass Jawed VITLAY look good does it?
Sure Rico, no problem...we have a request courtesy of Rico... Dear Mr Klitshcko (& fans): I am writing you because it seems that you forgot about me, your mandatory challenger. I must be the most invisible 6 foot 2, 240 pound black man on the planet. You have ducked out on me since April 30, June 18, and July 30 with varying excuses and injuries which I never quite believed existed. You have the nerve to call out another fighter when you have clear and present danger staring you in the face. But that is appropriate, because you better go down the yellow-brick road and get a heart before you step in the ring with me. I am an extremely credible opponent, so I assume that your constant avoidance of anything regarding the name Rahman is a very smart tactic. I understand that you are a doctor and an extremely intelligent man. However, you are undermining your credibility as a boxing Champion by these constant duck tactics that you are employing by not fighting me. You are decreasing your fan base and causing doubt to appear in the hearts of your most ardent supporters. How can you use words like 'courage', 'heart', and 'champion' when referring to yourself when you have been ducking me like a yellow-bellied coward for almost a year? Boxing and its fans need an active Champion who is willing to fight credible opponents. I think that it is hilarious that some consider you a Champion and the man to beat when you are scared to face me. Stop misrepresenting the heavyweight division, let alone the WBC championship. Boxing deserves better than what you are giving it. Stop cheating yourself. Stop cheating the fans. Most of all, stop cheating me. Now I am all for heavyweight unification, as is my promotor. Now you are suddenly able to fight in September? We can fight in August if you like. Just know that I plan on hitting you harder than you have ever been hit in your life. And I promise that you will taste the canvass for the first time in your professional boxing career. And Don King will not ask for ANY OPTIONS!! None, so you dont have any other excuses. I am ready to take back what belongs to me. And I cant wait to win over your fans and supporters because they seem to be very supportive of you. Imagine how much they will appreciate a champion that is active and not afraid to fight anyone. Well, I am ready now. Are you willing to hop in the ring with me? If not, don't issue anymore press releases until you are ready to be a man. But as is your history regarding Rahman, I expect for you to act like this letter is invisible as well. Hasim Rahman
Glass Jaw Rahman who fought more elite comp than VITLAY ever did, and beat fighters in far more impressive fashion WHILE THEY WERE IN THEIR PRIME. Keep making a **** of yourself, ***** :nut
Fighting Weight - Who do you speak of that rahman has beaten better competition than Vitali? He lost to maskaev via 12rd TKO and KO 8th rd in their first fight, lost to ruiz via UD, had a draw with tua and was TKO'd in the 10th of their first fight, got ktfo by lewis which I will give rahman credit he did ktfo lewis but than again lewis didn't even train for the fight and it literally showed because in the rematch he dominated rahman. Besides that lewis fight maybe his other best win was against rob calloway LOL, or better yet zuri lawarence. Vitali beat williams, sanders, johnson, hoffman, hide and his two loses were pretty much out of his control which you can obviusly argue either way i guess.
You give Vitali props for beating Sanders, but forget to mention that Rahman has beaten him too. atsch Rahmans victory over Barret is also way better than victory over Hofman. Rahmans victory over out of shape Lewis is also way more impressive than Vitalis TKO lose against out of shape Lewis.:yep
Williams has never beaten anybody of note, other than an old & shot Tyson who injured his knee. And apparently a loss involving an injury does not count in Klitschkoland. :roll: Sanders was 30, and had been beaten by Rahman in his prime. And Nate Tubbs. :yep Johnson was 30-40lbs overweight.
