Bradley would not fight in China, at least not for almost equal the purse of Pac. And Marquez fears for his life in fighting Pacquiao again. So here we are left with an alternative after Pac leaves Rios in the dustbins of Macau...
Not since the Cotto fight will Manny be put in such a precarious situation. We all know Provodnikov was merely the sparring partner to Pacquiao. But after his win over Bradley and the heroic morale it gave him, I think Provodnikov would give Pacquiao a bloody, brutal, life and death kind of fight, much worse than the Margarito fight.
Like in the Alvarado fight, I would fear for Pacquiao's life. I am sure Roach knows this already and will hide under the guise of not allowing two of his proteges to fight each other when the truth is he knows the crushing weight of Provo's fists could spell the end for his prized pupil.
As a fan, let it happen and let the chips fall wherever they may. I think that fight would also astound the Mayweathers and for the first time would feel pity for Pacquiao.
So who else is excited about a Pacquiao vs. Provodnikov fight?
if provo can't ko him within 2 rounds he gets stopped soon after that
I don't know if anyone would agree but Provo's style reminds me of the person in your avatar, Duran.
Curious as to what makes you think that? I would agree however, Pac's punches are no bradley or alvarado punches.
provodnikov has terrible stamina
pacquiao comes out blistering, provo will fight back. he might hurt pacquiao, he might knock him down but if he doesn't ko pacquiao he's gonna be gassed after a couple of exchanges, and from there pacquiao is just going to keep raining down the punches while provo is trying to recharge his batteries, also note that his defense becomes almost non-existent when he tires

Last time i checked he lossed to Bradley
Won't happen freddie trains both but it would be an amazing fight.
Wouldn't it be crazy if freddie had to choose and he picked ruslan over manny lol
Freddie choosing Prov over Pacquiao has lesser probability of happening than Mayweather and Pacquiao fighting each other. So you can relax. :boxing:
Great for fans,not great for Pac..Prov I think is better then Rios,only problem is I think he may like Pac to much to fight him..
Yep you're right he has too much respect for manny, and talked about how they were good friends.
to me, if bradley or a jmm rematches don't happen, this is the only fight left to make.
