Other than the snooze fest of John Ruiz dry-humping him for 12 rounds, Rahman makes entertaining fights! Rahman has a lot of power in either hand and a bad chin. That is a perfect combination to make a great fight. Plus, Rahman is a former champ who defeated the last universally recognized champion in Lennox Lewis. And Rahman will sell a lot of tickets with his mouth and give Wlad more of the much needed mainstream American publicity that he has been lacking. There is no way that Rahman will be content to sleepwalk for 12 rounds like Ibragimov. Rahman is going to open up and throw bombs, even if it gets him knocked out by a counter shot...which will probably happen!
Chag, then Valuev. I think Oleg will take Peter out of the running next week, so forget Peter. :good But if Peter did get by Oleg, I would still rather see Chag or Valuev get pounded on, rather than see Peter outboxed and swollen up again.
**** the peter fight, wlad won by wide UD last time, no reason to see it again if peter so happens to get the other 2 belts down the road then they can fight but for now id rather see wlad fight valuev or chagaev
Vlad will have to either fight Pavetkin of Thompson next, because of a time factor it will probably be Thompson/WBO mandatory.
