Hasim Rahman vs Calvin Brock who wins?

[Vincent Gottschalk]

They might fight in a IBF eliminator. Who do guys see winning this fight?

[Heavyrighthand]

Brock on points, and by a pretty wide margin, too.

I think Rahman seems to be fading pretty quickly. And he's not even that old, yet.

Brock UD12 Rahman
116-112, 116-112, 115-113

[Batsch]

If they really fight in an eliminator I hope Rahman wins. Who wants Klitschko-Brock 2.....

[Motor City Sam]

Brock on points. I know Rahman has come back from the boxing graveyard before, but after watching his fight with Sykes I think he is done. Too bad, too, because as Heavyrighthand said, he's not that old.

[1-Ton]

If they really fight in an eliminator I hope Rahman wins. Who wants Klitschko-Brock 2.....

Yes, I'd much rather see Wlad destroy Rahman than punish Brock again. Still, I think Brock outclasses Rahman.....especially the fat version.

[Vincent Gottschalk]

If Hasim come in in shape I think his heavy jab and big right hand will to much for Brock:!:

[RAMPAGE0017]

Rahman is pretty much finished. So yeah.. Brock on points.

[Unchained]

I could not care less. Bums.

[diamondDave]

I think Brock out-works him on points. Rahman looks finished, I think that Maskaev rematch ruined him as a fighter.

[Smith]

Brock is far too much for Rahamn at this point in time, still, boring as fuck match up leading to Brock UD

[The Kurgan]

Brock. Age has finally caught up with Rahman in his last few fights, and his inactivity isn't going to make him any younger.

If Brock boxes and paces himself for a strong second half, I can see him winning by a fairly considerable margin/late stoppage.

[Brickhaus]

Brock by KO. He doesn't have much power, but Rahman also doesn't have much of a chin. I hope Rahman gets in shape and wins though. No way I'd watch Klit/Brock II

[BOGART]

I'd have to go with Brock by decision in this match and this actually seems like a pretty boring match-up. If the fight were to be made for an eliminator to Wlad I'd be pulling for Rahman. Wlad-Brock 2 has no appeal at this point. Rahman, right now, seems to have little to offer in a match-up with Wlad. If he were to beat Brock though, then he'd have some momentum and a bout between he and Wlad would be more appealing. Neither make for any sort of great match, but atleast its not Holyfield or a Byrd 3 bout.

[Zakman]

Brock does to the glass jawed Rahman what he did to Zuri Lawrence. Only earlier.

Rahman is only 34!!

[JC2006]

Rahman is only 34!!

45, 21, 95, whatever, he came into his last fight @ 261 lbs. for fuck sakes.

Brock wins.

I think Brock has the same power as Sam Peter. He ko'd Yuri Foreman better than Peter KO'd cruiserweight Jeremy Williams..Brock has no power?

You mean Zuri Lawrence right? And it's hard to say which KO was more brutal - when both guys are out before they hit the canvas and are unconscious, it's hard to chose.

Peter hits much harder than Calvin Brock

[brooklyn1550]

Calvin the next big thing Brock, what a disappointment.

I remember CBS Sportsline had an article comparing him to Evander Holyfield:patsch

[Zakman]

Calvin the next big thing Brock, what a disappointment.

Yeah, and his chin isn't so great either. But Rahman's is about the worst in the division since Herbie Hide. Brock would do to him what he did to Zuri Lawrence. COUNT on it. And I don't think much of Brock either.

[blistering]

Rahman clearly didn't take his last opponent very seriously, so I think it's hard to judge what he has left after that fight.

I remember some years ago he was badly out of shape in the Tua rematch as well, yet he got himself back into shape for subsequent fights - all the way up to the loss against Maskaev.

I think Rahman could beat Brock if he gests in decent shape and persists with his solid jab. Part of the reason he lost to Maskaev was because he abandoned it for significant periods, allowing Maskaev to go on the offensive.

[Scar]

Brock by UD.

IBF eliminator?

What would be the point of putting Brock in there with Wlad again?

[smokey]

I'd pick Brock. Not that I thin Brock is that impressive. He always struck me as a pretty basic fighter... nothing outstanding positive or negative. I just figured he got as far as he did due to the division being in such crappy shape. Anyone who has reasonable skill and the ability to KO someone who can string together some wins makes news.
