Comments Thread For: Provodnikov: No Interest In Pacquiao, Maybe Rios at 147

This pretty much puts to sleep the manny-cotto 2 rumors.

I don't know about you guys, but I don't want a bradley rematch, JMM 5, or cotto rematch. I don't want REMATCHES.. pac has limited time left in this sport. i don't care who it is, let's find a new opponent and bring us something new!

Bradley is the only rematch I want. I'm over the Marquez ko and cotto has no business to be in the ring with PAC again.

I know this is crushing news in Tardland but that fire that's missing that everybody talks about has been gone ever since PBF shined the light on Pac & PED usage!!! NO KO"S SINCE THEN!!!! Shots that crippled dudes before are slightly above average shots now. Has NOTHING to do with Manny's drive cause he's hitting these dudes as hard as ever, the super-power is just gone. I wonder why? Could it be because he's submitting to random testing now? Hmmmmmmmmm.

He's only done random blood for his fight with rios, prior to that he wasn't doing any random testing and still wasn't knocking people out. Take Floyd's **** out yo mouth.

I can respect that. I'd like to see Provodnikov rematch Bradley more than Pacquiao.

There's very little demand for that fight from the public. It wouldn't bring in impressive sales figures. I think that's why the Cotto rumors have surfaced.

Provodnikov would have made for an attractive opponent but he doesn't want it so there's nothing to be done.

Ruslan vs Rios would be awesome. I think Rios gets stomped and put to sleep as Ruslan is that little bit fresher and wants to win just as much.

it's pretty noble to turn down a career high payday. he'd probably get a career high payday against rios, and have a shot to win the fight, but he's not going to make as much money as he would against manny.


if i were advising ruslan i'd ask him to seriously consider fighting pacquiao. that's a life changing fight. they can't be that friendly.

the issue is the trainers.

ruslan would have to find a new trainer, and maybe never get a shot to go back to wildcard. he'd need freddie's blessing beforehand to come back.

coming off of two losses, you might be right. rios is a much more steady fighter. ruslan fights in spots. if he can't hurt you in those spots and either win rounds, or knock you out, you can beat him. rios would fight through all the spots that ruslan uses to take breaks.

a healthy rios takes ruslan. at least a rios from 1.5 years ago. i'm not sure about rios coming off of two losses in wars.

Great...let's not stop until Rios inaudible by 30.Bobby Chacon time!!!

[Left Hook Tua]

I think ruslan can very well end Brandon's career tho if this fight happens. I mean rios has been in some major war and bob is suppose to make rios vs Alvarado 2. I don't know how much more punishment rios can take.

if arum makes rios-alvarado 2 i like alvarado.

i'll say alvarado ud12.

115-113

inaudible means you can't hear him.
