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

[sugarsmosley]

got it-what happened in the previous fight.

in manny's last fight he boxed rios from a distance. so why would the provodnikov fight be a problem?

he can do same-especially since provodnikov is smaller, slower and has shorter reach than rios.

provo is a bit smaller you're right. shorter reach too... but slower? i dont know about that. but i know for sure provo wouldn't cover up and be scared like rios was to come inside. just look at the bradley fight. sure bradley doesnt hit as hard but i think ruslan ate nearly 500 punches from bradley. (forgive me if i'm way off lol)

No matter how you look at it or who you pick, one can't deny that Pacquiao vs Provodnikov would be a great fight no matter the outcome!

bradley rematch or floyd.

he beat bradley IMO by a wide margin so the rematch really isn't needed. he has a return date of april 12th when floyd has a date of may 5th.

so its provodnikov. provodnikov beat alvarado, who beat rios, manny's last opponent.

Fast Forward to 1:10 on how Pac manhandles him in sparring.

Repeat of Pac-Rios fight. Dont want it.

evol and bungalows think provodnikov will hurt manny in a fight that manny wins so they are calling for another opponent. sad.

Fight make sense and I wouldn't mind it. Still prefer Bradley to fight them both next year to close out his contract.

well ruslan has a big punch so..... i'd imagine it would hurt! i'd think he do better than rios. but then again, rios didn't fight like rios. if pac is on point and provo doesnt cover up like rios i think pac could ko him.

Hey, its Bob's fault. he decided not to work with GBP so it means instead of Matthysse, Thurman, Ghost he has to fight ruslan.

Maybe they will get mike jones out of limbo.

Only in Pacland can Rios be a better opponent than Canelo.

i was thinking the the same thing man some of these cats on here are ridiculous. rios a monster? dude didnt even punch back
