Wow..ruslan provodnikov is a total beast

[Sam Donald]

I learnt some things from this dude..

first off, after his fight with TB...i became a huge fan

He isnt talked about as much mattysee or ggg but hes in the same group

i absolute loved how he said, forget the belts...its all about being the peoples champion and putting on great fights!!!

this is what boxing needs!!!

its not the 80s anymore where belts matter...theres like 6 world titles in a divison...guys like ruslan..yes we need more like him

who needs a world title today only guys like crawford who nobody cares about cos his style sucks

what do u guys think of ruslan and his quote of being the peoples champ rather than being a belt holder

translation was bad... he didn't say most the stuff that was written.... they completely neglected the 'tone' of his answers.... step up your russian hbo.

wish i knew what he was really saying, Rado still seemed a bit intimidated

I agree guys like Provodnikov are great for the sport, but the only thing similar Provodnikov has with GGG is that he has good power. that's it. Golovkin has P4P skills IMO and Provodnikov is nowhere near his level as a boxer.

that's why fighters like Mayweather and Klitschko who do anything to win (like fighting boring without mixing it up) grab all the titles and money and relentless brawlers like Provodnikov are in their shadow.

yeah but prov is a fighter.... not everybody has the same tools..prov can rough guys up..thats his styles and it works well

[Bushidō]

Definitely impressed with what I saw vs Bradley but I still need to see more before I put him at the GGG / Matthysse level.

I agree 100%. I said the same thing in one of the face off threads.

[apocalypto]

He needs to work on his conditioning and he will be a handfull for any one dude is a beast regardless

[Check_hooks]

Ruslan is a beast who finds glory in the ring. Hes a throwback fighter.

I was a fan after the Bradley fight but after the HBO Face Off, I'm a huge fan
