Why does nobody want to see Rahman vs. Peter (as a replacement!)

It's a good entertaining fight but I'm also pissed because I wanted Peter to fight for the WBC Championship like he was promised to, sadly it didn't happen and no one can blame Maskaev for getting injured either, it's a part of this sport.

 

I don't think Rahman is capable of getting in top form again. Whatever prime he had is gone, IMO. However if he WAS in his prime I might've even chose Rahman to win this by decision. Right now? Peter will most likely stop him by the middle of the fight.

 

Rahman has had enough chances. I wouldn't mind seeing Tua get a shot. He has still only lost 3x, to Ike, Lewis and Byrd. No shame there. Plus he has only had one shot at any major title, despite beating two heavyweight champions (Rahman plus the notorious assrape of Ruiz), which is bull**** when you see how many the likes of Golota and co have gotten. Plus Tua-Peter would be a ****in' war, much more so than Peter-Rahman.

:hat

 

Well stated.

Rahmen woudl be mismatch considering Peter's power. A possible one round affair.

Besides, there is no way Rahmen could get in shape in time.

 

Haven't we seen Rahman get KTFO enough times already? The man will suffer brain damage if he gets stopped again.

 

Also, if Rahman replaced Maskaev, then Peter would be fighting an opponent who has been starched TWICE by the man he replaced. Whereas if Tua fought, Maskaev would be replaced by a man who holds a KO victory over him.

So I guess that's three titleholders that Tua has knocked out, for his one shot at Lennox Lewis.

True, whereas Tua has a match lined up as of now and has fought twice in the last couple of months.

:hat

 

Rahman is not and has never been an exciting heavyweight to watch. I believe that is why. Plus, they feel he has lost enough times (recently to be exact) to not be deserving of this fight.

 

Whoever hates the idea then who else is there available as a quick replacement?, at least it's Rahman and not a random unknown jobber.

 

But there are other guys who can be more competative and exciting than Rahman...someone like Oliver McCall or David Tua.
I would say David Tua would be a good call since he is already training. It wouldnt be fair to pull up anyone on quick notice for a big fight against someone like Peter.

Because Rahman has had so many chances, is aging, and is looking like a shot fighter. I just hope Peter fights somebody on the 6th and if it happens to be Rahman, okay.

 

It's a terrible matchup. Prime Rahman would have a chance at outboxing him and winning by decision, but Peter has an iron chin, and Rahman is no defensive dynamo. Rahman's chin probably can't hold up to Peter's clubbing bombs so he probably loses the match by KO or TKO most of the time. That's Prime Rahman though. Rahman as he is now stands no chance against Peter.
