Wladimir vs Rahman is on!!!!!!!

I have no problem w/this fight. Nearly all HW champs have faught similar opponents - fighters near the end, but with a name & resume. At least HR has a punchers chance. HR has a slim chance to make it interesting or even win if he lands a big punch. Posts have suggested other oppoents that would make more "sense". But seldom can you make the fights that you want soon enough. If Wlad waits for a better opponent, critics - not just the haters - will say he doesn't fight often enough.

J Johnson to Marciano to Ali have faught less dangerous fighters in title defences :yep So what's the problem now?

 

technically he is a two time champ. he got the wbc strap after Vitali retired due to injuries.
