Comments Thread For: Provodnikov Eyes Pacquiao To Continue Career Success

Rios punked out and settled for a points loss.. No chance in hell will Ruslan do that.. Will be a very entertaining fight

Pac is too fast for him, and hit like a ton of bricks. His face will fall off if he make it 12 rounds.

i love to see him fight bradley again. remember he fought with a two broken ankle. if he wins in a spectacular fashion lets say 10th rd k,o that would be great. that would be my measurement for mayweather. bradley posses great foot work and stamina. To beat floyd you must have the stamina to carry your foot speed and hand speed to the later rounds and thats what mayweather gets very flashy and dangerous. the crazy thing the fight will never happen if floyd sees manny like that.

it was just an excuse to make the fans believe that he belongs to the elite level when he should, would, could have type of thing. The game plan was to cut the ring and attack the body but his feet was too slow.

I don't understand how any of you would rather see Bradley-Pacquiao II... Manny dominated damn near every round in that fight. It was a decent boxing match but nothing memorable about that fight besides the horrific decision. At least Ruslan will bring some excitement to the ring! It'll also help solidify whether or not Manny can still finish a fighter. Ruslan will be there in front of him the whole night and throw alot more punches than "punching bag" Rios did, leaving himself open. A much more intriguing fight in my opinion. Manny didn't dominate shyt. He lost, period!

Keep pac FAR away from Prov. He's better off fighting Randall Bailey or someone of that caliber; Prov KOs pacroid inside of six rounds.

I like this fight. Way better than Pac-Marquez XIV.

Well since Marquez has a hard on for Bradley and won't fight Provodnikov even in Mexico and Bradley isn't going to fight Provodnikov again what option does he have? I don't like the fight, but maybe this is a ploy to get Bradley to take less money for a rematch with Pacquiao. Then Bradley will go for a rematch with Marquez. Sure as sunrise he don't want to see Provo again.

Provo doesn't have the footwork to deal with Pacquiao. I'll be disappointed in Top Rank if they make this bout, I believe the fans would prefer Provo-Rios. GBP would've made the fight the fans wanted.

"to refuse to fight a great boxer is stupid"... provo is referring to chicken floyd... I think he's talking about Pac. Do you think Provo or Bradley would turn down $40 million to fight Floyd? Do you think Bradley would be opposed to random blood tests? It's OK to hate but don't forget who is turning down the fights. Remember who just made the most money ever by fighting Canelo, and who didn't make **** off the Rios fight. Manny needs Floyd and Marquez more than they need him right now. That being said, big props to Manny if he takes the fight with Provo!

People were saying PAC would get KO's by prov and would duck him. Now they are saying it's another rios fight lol I also had seen posts like that on NSB in several occasions. Lol at this fanboys, now that there is huge possibility for the fight to be made, they call it another rios fight. *******s are now plague in NSB these days. If Pac-Provo happens everyone is guaranteed for explosions in the ring.:boxing: Sad thing is, Money makes everything possible. Good thing if these happens and Ruslan be awarded with a hefty payday that he wont earn even fighting 5x.:usa2:

Wow...if this is true, I'd buy the PPV. I have a hunch this fight would be more competitive than people think.

how much better do you see the bradley fight selling? wouldn't you be interested in the fight and watch it? isn't that all that really matters. boxing fans including myself have been guilty of this. we worry too much about how many people watch/how it "Sells". let's just watch the fights we want to watch and enjoy them. i find that you get nowhere worrying how a fight/fighter sells, they will be fine. people know what they are doing these are professionals.agreed. Good post. Fans should just enjoy the fights period and not worry about all of that.

You bring up an interesting point. Thing is, Provo never leaves his balls at home. He comes from a little tribe of monsters, the guy is the real deal. Rios was talking the other day about how he regrets going in with a different gameplan and should've fought like he always does EVEN THOUGH he probably would have been KOd... which I liked to hear because he was one of my favorite fighters before the Pac fight. I didn't know about that. I am a Rios fan as well and thought he would make it a war.

Interesting match up but I think ruslan is gonna hurt pacman he is better than rios . He is a much stronger and faster fighter he is a pressure and can cut off the ring well. Pac man might get battered if this fight happens. I would love to see a rematch with bradley and pac man but with the way bradley out boxed marquez I think he would beat pac man easy . Pac man doesnt have it anymore . People give him props for beating up rios who lacks skill . Rios is just a flat footed power puncher he has no skills at all of course that was easy for pac man. Ruslan is a different fighter he will take pac out easy. Will take Pac out easy? Either you have an agenda or you're full retard. Moms needs to take your Acer away for a few hours so you can get your head straight.

Provo should do a lot better than Rios (that's not exactly saying much though lol), but Ruslan is there to be hit. And all night long. Only way imaginable for Ruslan is to hurt Manny, and hurt him bad. And Manny's going to be extra careful and will just try to box him like he did Rios, and barring a Provo bomb that nearly decapitates MP -- Manny will absolutely sail on points. I could definitely envision some dramatic moments and exchanges, though. There could be some terrific fireworks if Manny gets hurt and decides to exchange. Who knows since both of them are boys maybe they'll agree to just go all out and put on a fight of the year type show for the fans. If Manny is just there to win and be careful though it will likely be a replay of the Rios fight.

This will be like Pac v Rios 2. I love Provodnikov, and he seems more likely to try to throw with Pacquiao giving him more of a puncher's chance, but I just see him coming forward, having to turn and reset, and getting ripped on angles all night.
