Provodnikov vs Pacquiao on April 12?

Provo is tailor made for Pac. SLOW come forward fighter with minimal defence. Well Prove deserves a payday and this will be an exciting fight to the end.

i'd rather see prov-jmm and winner faces pac-bradley 2. makes much more sense.

Arum is setting paqiao up on this one dangerous fight very dangerous fight for paquiao so the Floyd fight never happends PAC is on fight away from irrelevancy... You just may be on to something. As I stated earlier, Pacquiao has everything to lose and nothing to gain by fighting Provodnikov.

Bobby bobby Arum is setting paqiao up on this one dangerous fight very dangerous fight for paquiao so the Floyd fight never happends PAC is on fight away from irrelevancy...

pacquiao-bradley 2 marquez-alvarado provodnikov-rios on same card, free hbo. :D hey a guy can dream.

Yeah, Provo cuts and swells with ease. It could be ugly, and there a huge heart on Ruslan and that could make it even uglier. Should be a slug fest of huge proportions!!!! Make it the undercard to Cotto/Martinez lol!!!!

If pac vs provo happens, there is a very big possibility that the fight will be stopped because of too much bleeding due to cuts. Provo, has unfortunately, a very light and thin skin and manny punches through his knuckles more than usual. There is a reason why almost all of manny's opponents bleeds and gets lumps and bumps all over the face after the fight; -- the bone to bone impact will make it easier to cut and bump a person's skin; especially those with lighter and thin skins.

I dont want prov to get ruined right now. but i really admire a competitive spirit in a fighter just like what prov is showing right now.

He should fight JMM. Bradley should fight Manny. No other way. This. I love Provo but I think that Pac will destroy him, it may not stop him but it would hurt him.

And............. Manny Pacquaio was a guy that held a JMW title, was Manny complaining about being badly hurt post fight then, you dont find it weird now he's forced to pick on blown up lightweights/lww like he has the last 2-3 years, do you not see bytchassness in that, his handlers know his chin has declined............ Not to mention Wasn't Rios just coming off a brutal loss to a 140 pounder, wasn't Rios pop questionable at 135-140(he just lands a lot of shots no big pop). I take It you are not a Manny Pacquiao fan, Is the term bytchassness a ghetto term? Anyway, from watching the Rios fight, which round or particular punch leads you to the conclusion that Pacquiaos chin has declined? Yes Pacquiao did win a championship at JMW, not bad for a guy that started out as a flyweight. What does It matter what Rios weight was In a fight he had previously? When he fought Pacquiao he was the bigger man and out weighed Pacquiao by 10lbs.

There sparring partners, so they both know exactly how eachother fight. That means its all about who knows how to exploit the other's weaknesses better, and pac's a smarter fighter so i got him if this fight ever happens

I knew we wouldn't get Provodnikov-Rios. Pacquiao will slaughter Provo. exactly why i would rather see the bradley fight, fighting provo doesn't do much for pac. i also highly doubt provo would sell more PPV than a bradley fight..

Prov-Pac would be a huge fight and a great war. It beats anything Marquez or Bradley can offer. It would sell less than rios fight. But there would actually be a fight this time lol

Wasn't Rios 9-10lbs heavier then Pacquiao the morning of the fight? And............. Manny Pacquaio was a guy that held a JMW title, was Manny complaining about being badly hurt post fight then, you dont find it weird now he's forced to pick on blown up lightweights/lww like he has the last 2-3 years, do you not see bytchassness in that, his handlers know his chin has declined............

So when fighters say something it's gospel? Your really gonna sit here and tell me that he came out and intented to get hurt the entire fight? To please people like you and me most people go out and just beat ass not get there ass beat in the process. Sure he dominated when he boxed but he still got caught he gets caught all the time just nobody was as big of a puncher as Provo when bradley could box he won when he got caught he didn't he got his ass beat bradley didn't brawl and fight with that man because he wanted to he had to, Provo made him fight his fight. You know why he didn't box circles around him because his damn legs were gone from getting cracked he was getting hurt with jabs ffs. Lol bradley must be mayweather now he stood toe to toe to plz the fans never mind that it actually could have been the other fighter causing this to happen Homie, let's just dead this. You said Pac needs to face Prov and beat him convinvingly in order to market the Bradley fight, and make it bigger. My rebuttal to that is, :lol1::lol1::lol1: We kosher?

Guy loses before the fight gets made. Dude heart is not there for this fight, so why bother him? Manny Pac, if he really told him to take the fight, shows how he really feels about their so-called "tight" relationship. Manny's eagerness, and Prod's refusal, make the relationship out to be nothing more that idol worship.

You can't put chicken **** in a salad, and call it a chicken salad. Bradley's not chicken ****. He's grade A, 100%, lean chicken. The fight would be chicken salad. I don't know man. In the rounds he won, he DOMINATED, and wasn't even touched. That's a clear indication that he can do such things. He even said it HIMSELF. He went out to prove the critics wrong.

Manny admittedly got hurt bad by a blown up 135 pounder in Rios, whats he supposed to do to this monster Prov.... The Prov Bradley fight should have showed that Prov simply is a higher level fighter than the current declined Manny. Prov should have stopped Bradley like 4 times over and put him on his ass forcing Timmy to wait out the bell, basically being saved by the bell. Manny was a guy that let pillow fisted Bradley break his will and determination, a guy that ran away from a Bradley rematch while Prov made Bradley one of his Jr's......... This is simply a fight meant to ruin Manny before his contract is up years end, keeping him away from Mayweather, you are blind if you deny this. It is also one of boxings unofficial rules not to face sparring partners they know your speed, power, habits and bad tendencies. Roy sparring partner put a prime Anabolic Roy on his ass and gave him hell....... Wasn't Rios 9-10lbs heavier then Pacquiao the morning of the fight?

MRBOOMER, you're reaching, bro ham.

Just cause PAC is PAC doesn't mean a thing if that's the case the rios fight would have sold better and yeah bradley was boxing in the first round beautifully but got caught I don't know how everyone just agree with the he wanted to prove the doubters wrong **** bradley stands at close range boxes and applies pressure and got caught when bradley boxed and had success but let's not make it seem like that's not how bradley fights and if he wanted to he could have pulled a mayweather You can't put chicken **** in a salad, and call it a chicken salad. Bradley's not chicken ****. He's grade A, 100%, lean chicken. The fight would be chicken salad. I don't know man. In the rounds he won, he DOMINATED, and wasn't even touched.
