    I know Klitschko is massive but he looks so much bigger than Rahman, more so than when Lewis was stood next to Hasim, imo.

    It's worth watching - shame it didn't happen a few years ago.

    actually i was just thinking i expected more of a disparity. rahman, though not active or skilled enough, is big enough to challenge.
     
  7. Sorry he's not. He never was a pressure fighter while Wlad may be too technical Rahman is too stand-up-right; it's perfect for Wlad. Wlad will KO Rahman early.

    So you'd rather a few extra rounds of punishment for Rock - what'd he ever do to you? :yep

    If that was Toney there, his bald skull would barely scalp to the bottom of the picture. :lol:




    By the way, i think this is the first time Wlad took on a fight on a month's notice since 2004 or so. Usually he has a long training camp, with one month of conditioning and one month of sparring and preparing for his opponent. He's always in good shape though, and most likely he was already training for Povetkin.

    it looks like you can still see the Holyfield headbutt damage on Rahman.

    I agree. Its doubtful Wlad will ko Rahman early because he fights so cautiously at the start although it was much better in the Thompson fight.
