    Would it even be that big a shock? I had Huck beating him, and i'd probably pick Rahman to beat Huck...I don't think they are a clear class apart or anything. I favour Povetkin because of his technical ability, he should be able to eek out a decision but i favour him due to styles and Rahman's physical decline rather than a class gap.

    Naw I'm not seeing an upset here. But being that he's in better shape, I do hope he gives a good scrap.

    Usually I'm one for shouting for upsets but I just don't see it at all in this fight.

    I don't think Rahman will even be competitive, despite Povetkin being past his best as well. Haven't seen any motivation whatsoever in Rahman for years. Against Wlad he just didn't give a ****. He's just going through the motions now. Povetkin by accumulative TKO8.

    No he isn't. He has to wear a girdle just to hold his stomach in. Real good shape for a six foot two inch heavyweight is around 225lbs. Do you think Rahman's even thirty pounds within that?

    ...and the little fact that Rahman's 39 years old, totally shot and hasn't won a meaningful fight in about seven years. Might as well dig up the corpse of Jim Jeffries. He'd at least have a bit more life in him in the pre fight interviews

    I don't know.He looks me pretty strange.Maybe he is acting to be in bad shape and doing public workout slow and bad.I believe he is not that slow,he is 39,not that old if he is really motivated.He has physical tools to beat Povetkin but he must be focused on that and if it is for just payday than he would lose.

    Rahman's KO losses have always been spectacularly embarassing, and I think we're gonna see a new one soon.

    He's turned into the fat Yank version of Danny Williams.
