Rampage is not a smart bet against Rashad.

I think Rashad's wrestling is overrated, because he is small for the division, but so is Rampage's, because he is huge and strong for the division. If they were the same size, Rashad is the smart bet.

I think the stand-up, KO power, and wrestling could be a push here, and it becomes matters of natural talent, heart, and wit. Based on those factors I would bet on Rashad with better speed, intelligence, and a heart for the sport. If it gets tough I could see Rampage just saying, "forget it, I'm going back to acting."

I really hope Rashad wins -- he's a far better person than Rampage.

If this mattered Bill Cosby would be the Heavyweight Champion of the world

Rec'd, good take boom.

But this is also a matter of physical durability vs mental durability. Rampage has a lot better chin than Rashad, it can be surmised from their recent fights. Rashad is the smarter fighter with better heart, it can be surmised, based on past history and recent statements.

Rashad gets KO'd or Rampage will fold.

I disagree. Rampage out wrestled Hendo and held his own against Lindland. He is better wrestler no matter the size.

Strength is his biggest advantage, and if he were the same size as Henderson and Lindland, he would have been defeated much easier than Rashad could hope to if they were the same size. But if it was pound for pound with Rashad, I think he takes it.

Is that before or after Rampage knocks the sugar out of him, Wolf?

Is he going to be fast and in shape enough to do that?

I was talking about your reference to pound for pound. Pound for Pound Rampage is still stronger than Rashad, and still has better striking.

If that's the case, then it would be interesting to see that black belt at work off of Rashad's back.

page is done and its a sad thing cause he could of revamped his game and fought for another 5 yrs or so. Well good luck page in your low budget films. I am sorry but as much as I like A-team it seems cheesy. rashad by decision or tko

Sugar will kick Page's hollywood ass.

If it turns into a slugfest, then I give the edge to 'page, but if the fight is drawn out I have to go with Rashad.

Alil 1748 -- your gif may be the most lovely thing I've ever seen. Who is that?

The lovely bouncy pair of cannons belong to one Charlotte Church.

I amazed you know this Wolfy.

Rampage will come to fight...in shape or not. He will bring some heavy hands regardless.
