WelshDevilRob Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Mormeck vs Rahman Clash on December 2 in Paris? By Ruslan Chikov Several sources in France are reporting that former cruiserweight champion Jean-Marc "The Marksman" Mormeck, 38-years-old and a record of 35-4, 22KOs, will return on December 2 at the Halle Carpentier in Paris, France. The opponent being pushed for the fight is Hasim "The Rock" Rahman, 37-years-old and a record of 49-7-2, 40KOs. Mormeck's participation in such a contest would indicate that he doesn't want to involve himself in the IBF's four man tournament for a shot at Wladimir Klitschko. The four men proposed were Alexander Dimitrenko, Johnathon Banks, Jean Marc-Mormeck and Denis Boytsov. Boytsov was the first to turn down the tournament offer. It's been reported that Mormeck-Rahman would have the WBA's international title belt on the line and that adds more stock that he doesn't take part in the IBF tourney and is more geared on getting a rematch with WBA champion David Haye. Mormeck appeared on a radio program in France and confirmed that he wants to fight Rahman in December. "Initially, I wanted to fight the New Zealander David Tua, but he refused because he was on [Wladimir] Klitschko's list [of opponents]. So I opted for Hasim Rahman because he fought Lennox Lewis, because he is a true heavyweight, because he is tough and because he has a a lot of experience at the weight, fighting everyone who mattered like Evander Holyfield, David Tua, John Ruiz, Wladimir Klitschko. You can view this as an eliminator to see if I deserve my chance or not [at the heavyweight title]," Mormeck said.

Wheelchair Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 What a joke, the winner of this might get a shot at Haye? Both guys are long past their primes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brooklynbrawler Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 "Battle of the spent guys." ...This should be the name of the bill, you reckon I have a future in promoting? mlol/ Haye will NEVER rematch Mormeck, so hopefully he wins and rules out Rahman too. How bad is it when you're hoping all the sh*t fighters are getting tied up to make sure the World Champion has to take a half-decent matchup ffs?! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheelchair Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Maybe with a bit of luck they'll end up drawing by having a double KO. Should keep 'em off the scene for a while.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mooreman Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Fights like this really hurt the division. I would bet that the winner will be highly ranked aswell which is a disgrace. The governing bodies have really done there bit to aid the destruction of the division. They follow the promoters who make the cash and freeze out up and comers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheelchair Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Maybe we need Harrison and Chisora to win their respective fights, we could have a unification fight at least! glol/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I just get mad with the WBA, especially with this stuff where it's not even an interim belt, this "International" title and things like it are shit. If something is a World Title organization, then any of their titles are already International are they not? lol// Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
