valid point but at least rahman through no fault of his own actually gets hit with shots, wlad through his great skills and questionable chin never gets hit
wlad is the man on paper :deal but he leaves his heart in the changing room every fight, hopefully he proves me wrong and puts a spark into the division, H2H vitali is the man
Crazy things happen Rahman knows this hopefully lighting can strike twice for him in his career. Ill always back Rahman no matter what as ive personal met him and seen him train hes a cool cat.
he totally b*tched out against James Toney in the rematch. How can anyone be a fan of his after that debacle?
I like Rahman. Always have but this is just too tall an order. Wladimir Klitschko is a destroyer and he wouldn't make the mistake Lennox made of coming in out of shape. Too big, too fast, too skilled, too much everything. Not to mention the hostile atmosphere. The chips are totally stacked against Hasim Rahman and I mean totally stacked. If he were to pull off a victory it would be a major upset.
Rahman sucks. He is often out of shape and unmotivated and is not good for boxing at all. He should have been able to get rid of Ruiz for us, but instead he got hugged to death and let Ruiz defeat him. He lost to old Maskaev and he had a pretty even fight with Monte Barrett, who Valuev was able to KO. I don´t see why anyone would root for him in this fight.
I can't believe there is such a thing as a "Rahman Express". Sorry mate, I think your hope to see Wlad KTFO drove you to make a funny thread, to say the least. So you don't like Wlad cause he manages NOT to get hit? :huh
not exactly, its the way he does it for example mayweather uses skill and looks great in showing his ability to not get hit whereas wlad looks clumsy and frightened when avoiding shots because it seems he is afarid to be hit, plus wlads main weapons in avoiding shots is his height, reach and pawing left jab i know this thread is really a bit ridiculous and deep down i know id rather have wlad up there as the champ than rahman but it would be funny to see a major upset again, this division is prone to them
Not to get hit is the main part of boxing and than hit the opponent. Wlad now did it the perfect way like Lennox Lewis. Wlad learned much from Emanuel Steward since 2004. Wlad is 2 m tall, he can not act like Mayweather. Wlad uses his height perfect and he had a great jab.
i know not getting hit is a main part but wlad takes the ****, come on his fights are yawn fests, to say he does it like lewis shows you are a big fan of his, his jab is good but not GREAT his jab against ibragimov was great yeah
Ibragimov and Thompson where both Southpaw and difficult to box. Lewis never boxed against a southpaw. Look at Wlad jabs against "normal" boxers like Lamon Brewster II or his left hook against Austin.
