Hasim Rahman v Wayne Llewellyn

Rahman taking too many risks.

I know he needs confidence but heck you'd think he was 5-0 with the guys he's fighting.

First, Calloway who Harrison stopped in his sixth fight and noew Llewellyn who got stopped in one by McCline last time out.

Rahman is finished. He should fight another finished fighter on a winning run - Lawrence Clay Bey. Anyone see him on CH5 the other night? A match between those two fridge-addicts would show everyone just how horrible the division is right now.

Yes I saw it. He packs a good punch.

Interesting that Llewellyn has fought McCline and now gets Rahman. Do you think he's getting well paid for this and that he has been chosen because of his mini run of wins in Europe?

The only thing Clay Bey is good at packing is a doorstep sandwich.

Rahman got a win on an underprepared Lewis, as a reward not only did he get to make a bundle out of the rematch got to fight a couple of other big names like Evander Holyfield and a rematch with Tua. However I think his time in the sun is over, and will probably never get back on top. I hope he saved some money from the two Lewis fights. Lets face it he went from getting 1million in the first fight to get 15millionish (I think) for the second one.

Lets hope he put a couple of quid in the bank, coz I don't think he'll get too many big name fights. I don't see him getting it on with the Klitschkos.

However, the heavyweight division being the state it is in at the moment, you never know. He may yet win another world title.

I agree. Even names like Lennox Lewis and Danny Williams turned up for a fight well overweight. You wonder why they do it.
