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

[ShoulderRoll]

Yeah, because Broner, Guerrero, Thurman, Ortiz and Maidana are so much greater then Bradley, JMM, Provodnikov......

JMM and Provodnikov both say they won't fight Pacquiao.

So yes, Broner/Guerrero/Thurman/Ortiz/Maidana as a whole are definitely better than just Tim Bradley.

Oh yeah, Provodnikov-Rios in late 2014, winner fights Broner!

Didnt Pacquiao say something about making Rios pay for the Roach Jokes????
Well, those 282 stings must have been 282 mosquito bites cause Pacquiao couldnt put that kid away... Let up, i think he lets up cause the gas tank gets empty real quick with 100+ punches per round, all that kangaroo bouncing and no PED's in his system...

Rios has a good chin and held a high guard for most of the fight and didn't throw. Hard to KO a guy like that. Hattie came full force at Pacquiao, on the other hand. Also, Pacquiao gets dinged for not living up to pre-fight predictions, but Rios slides after claiming he'd retire Manny?

Pro is right, despite of Pac's blazing lateral movements and speed had returned, the most important ingredient of his arsenals is lack, his KO power! Although I know the way the fight goes, Pac could KO Rios as early as 3rd or 4rth and he didn't, but I expected him to KO Rios in the 6th or 7th! Pac need not tell he gave compassion with Rios because most viewers saw that in his actions.The thing is, he can not use that compassion to a bit quicker and big puncher opponent or he ends up again suddenly freezed! Pac should understand that he is in cruel sport and using compasion will led to his demise in the sport. He got luck as he was fighting a slow Rios, but that compasion will kill him again in the likes of JMM or Bradley, much more to Floyd or any other tactical fighter in the sport. Pac need to elliminate that mercy thing to his opponent, or I agree with Pro that Pac needs to hang up his gloves for good. I think his newly found religious belief is killing him in the sport because of that mercy thing, just saying!

who's to say Karim Mayfield wont put a Broner/Guerrero/Thurman/Ortiz/Maidana to sleep toprank has other guys that will become draws soon enough... that guy would stock danny garcia trying to get a fight with him

[BlackSnakeMamba]

Provo knows that Pacman would put him to sleep or outbox him if he fights him next year.

[KING MEAT]

this is why i love this fcking guy.

this dude knows the meaning of loyalty and respect.

this guy would fight fight for peanuts on espn before crossing roach and pac.

[thebowtod]

Pacquiao is running out of opponents. Tim Bradley is the only option left and I don't see that as a big selling ppv.

one of the biggest controversies in the history of sports and a decision at one point that people thought it would kill boxing.....and a rematch to that mixed with a revenge storyline for pacquiao wouldn't be a big seller?

Roach said that. Pac didn't.
