Rahman really should call it a day - He's had a couple of lucky fights in the past, most noticably against Lewis, but he always gets found out - I don't he's got the heart to win the big fights as deep down he know's he's just an average boxer, but if he wants to get back to the top, he could fight Ray Austin or Calvin Brock, i believe they are near the top of the IBF rankings. That could give him a shot at Klitschko

Rahman was nothing but a lucky journey man. He'll be around again. People who say he should fight Holyfield, or Ruiz... let us not forget, both fights happened... he lost both. I have been saying Rahman would lose, who has he beat lately? Getting lucky against Lewis was the worst thing to happen to him. He recieved too many title shots, hasn't won any (real title fights)since Lewis in 5 rounds, and probably believes he can get a title fight, and he will. I say 1 or 2 tune up fights, then a championship shot, which he'll lose. He may be able to beat Wladimire, who I believe is the weakest champion contrary to popular belief. Look for Eastern Europe to rule for a half decade AT LEAST!.

Ms. Jane ~
You're a busy woman, Rahman in my my opinion will most likely seek a rematch (if there is a rematch clause) if you listen to him after each one of his losses KO by Lewis, Maskaev (twice) he always has an excuse "I was winning the fight and got caught with a lucky shot" and "I was outboxing the guy and I got sloppy" I think that he's damaged goods and this fight is proof that he really doesn't have a jaw. Maybe he'll stick around for a few more fights fighting guys like Mesi or Mandalone but in all reality he's done.

He proably doesn't have any championship fights a head of him so he should proably retire. The fighter to watch on American Soil is Calvin Brock who I personally think can beat Maskaev also watch for Samuel Peters

First he needs to medically recover from this fight and reconsider his career as a pro fighter. If he plans to keep fighting he will have to be medically cleared by a doctor to be certain he has no permanent damage,

He should retire from boxing. Maybe go into wrestling.
