    But you can not deny dude is a warrior. the way he kept coming while hurt and exausted was impressive.

    Not underrated as a boxer but an underrated iron chinned warrior.

    He showed a lot of heart and chin against the smallest active heavyweight who was fighting his actual first heavyweight fight. Rahman has a good chance against this puffy Russian blockhead.

    Yeah, I totally agree. His face was ****ing purple since round 10. The guy could barely walk yet he kept going forward and throwing combinations. I think there was something wrong with him (health wise), but he doesn't seem like a guy that would make up BS excuses.

    I agree. He was poorly prepared for the fight, but he showed he has the heart of a lion.

    I honestly believe that has more to do with his handlers. would a guy who fights the way he does really hide from the Klichkos? Maybe, but i doubt it.

    You're right.

    Povetkin was willing to fight Wlad in 2010, but Teddy advised him not to.

    He could at least train his fat, out of shape azz to fight.

    No wonder Teddy Atlas didn't want to train his lazy azz.

    Yes he has a heart of a champion. But ring intelligence isn't there.
