    Pacquiao Vs. Provodnikov: How Great A Fight Would That Be!

    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?

      I'd give Pacquiao a very slight edge if they did fight but Provodnikov is dangerous.

          Any fight Ruslan is in is a good fight. Hes that type of fighter. Doesn't matter who he fights.

            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.

              Provodnikov vs Rios would be better even Ruslan vs Lucus Matthysse, Diego Chaves or Marcos Maidana

                Freddie choosing Prov over Pacquiao has lesser probability of happening than Mayweather and Pacquiao fighting each other. So you can relax.
