Comments Thread For: Arum Believes Pacquiao-Provodnikov Can Be Made

[DoktorSleepless]

Prod arguably beat the #3 p4p fighter. Out of the 140-147 divisions, Garcia and Provodnikov are probably the best, and are the most deserving to be in the Floyd/Pac sweepstakes.

And the Top Stank round-robin is set in motion. He may fare better than Rios, slightly, but i l believe he hits harder.

Tell you what, Ruslan is a better and more deserving opponent than Khan is for Mayweather.

I have said this is the logical next fight. I think its good to have manny fighting someone coming off a win. All the "they share the same trainer stuff" is not that big a deal IMO.

I also agree with poster techliam the fight should be at 140.

IMO part of the problem is Manny continues to fight jww at ww. This gives him even more of an advantage over guys he would easily beat at 140 and makes the fight less attractive to non manny fans.

If this fight can get made I hope TR can also make mikey garcia v nonito, who also share the same trainer.

LOL!!! Uncle Bob is right on schedule. Damn I'm good. Now next, Uncle Bob will come with a pprofanity laced tirade about how GBP are full of **** and how Floyd is ducking Manny. See you in Apr Pac. Bring on Bradley or Provo.

You, like myself, have called every Arum move perfectly frame-by-frame. My question is. If his moves are so easily predictable, how do folks still take this guy seriously?

Another human punching bag for Pac's lighting speed.

[rayb112]

Provodnikov who lost to Bradley, Bradley who avoided Khan, Khan who's fighting Mayweather, is a possible opponent for Pacquiao???

I think the thing is some guys like boxing but don't understand how it works. Fights are planned sometimes 2-3 years in advance. The networks, fighters, promoters work to build these fights.

I learned this in 03. I ran into floyd at the bhop/odh fight he said long term plan was to fight gatti. I sat next to gatti on the plane ride home. He said same thing. They fought in 05 yet knew they would be fighting more than a year earlier.

Bob hasn't survived this long by luck. I may hate him but he is smart and knows the business. He lost ODH and then saw floyd walk for $750k. He is't letting that happen again without getting paid.

Good fight and I suppose the next best assuming floyd is going to chicken out yet again, which is looking likely.
