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

[Tyler_Durden]

i agree 110% im so sick of these same 5 guys fighting each other. pac needs to leave top rank as bad as ever now. SO MANY fights wait for him on the other side. do pac fans not wanna see pac vs. broner,guerrero,thurman,ortiz, maidana and so on! same with Bradley these fools need to get outta there and get down to business. both money and legacy await them on the other side

I agree too!

No he didn't "let him off the hook", that gd bs excuse we hear. He just could not stop him, period. Call it what it is. Alvarado had Rios more hurt than Pac ever did.

Alvarado did have him hurt more... Rios was also doing more that fight.
He didn't let his hands go the entire Pac fight uness they tied up and kept his gloves up the whole time

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!

Good point, I agree.

Well they love to criticize his opponents at WW.
Who'd he KO at WW again?
I believe they said an old weight drained DLH who was done already and a weight drained Cotto.

Let put an end to all the weight drained Cotto nonsense...Cotto fought at one pound less than he had in his last three fights. I'm a Cotto fan and hate when people say he was weight drained.

2009-11-14 Cotto vs Pacquaio 145 lbs
2009-06-13 Cotto vs Clottey 146 lbs
2009-02-21 Cotto vs Michael Jennings 146 lbs
2008-07-26 Cotto vs Antonio Margarito 145.4 lbs

Margarito and DLH were weight drained..those I can admit. Hell DLH was weight drained for Floyd as well. He choose to go out with two massive paydays and in order to get that had to come wayyyy down for it. I'm fine with that.

Provid is basically saying that he thinks he would hurt Manny too much

[PETUFF]

i rather see him againts Marquez or Rios good fight

Hell yeah...he called JMM alllll the way out. The way he put it out there Marquez gotta take the fight. I think he retires Rios, Rios isn't going to shell up and is going to want to fight...gets career ended.

I think my boy Provodnikov ices Rios badly.

as for Prov, Pac is athletic enough and skilled enough to outbox provodnikov, but he's not going to avoid some good shots by Prov.. So if Pac can take those punches he would win the decision..

Ruslan seems to believe Pac wouldn't take his punches well

[Realizniguhnit]

I'm not even gonna front.. I catch a case of the shakes whenever I watch Floyd or Manny fight too. IDK why I get nervous for them don't wanna see em get hurt cuz they are both legends in the making, but when I watch Broner, Khan or some other guys fight I could give a F less If they get KTFO or not..

But Manny really is fighting for nothing atp I agree with Provodnikov, but then again so is Floyd so I guess they are just putting the finishing touches on their legacy. I guess it's good to get it out of their system cuz once they retire they will be almost 40 and gone for good...

You're an idiot.
