Man dude Pacquaio ain't no killer. He'd fight Provo much like he fought Rios. He'd outbox him sure. But brutalize, GTFOH with that bull****.
Either way, its besides the point. Provo's in the winner's bracket. So no need for him to fight guys in the loser's bracket. And it especially doesn't make any sense when he's not handcuffed by the GBP-TR beef. There are several guys he could fight that would move his career forward. Rios has lost two in a row. One of those was to the guy Provo just "No Mas'd." Its a pointless fight. Other than its can't miss in terms of action and allows Arum to cash out Rios in a fight that will sell reasonably well.
I don't see Pac wanting to sit in the kitchen anfd risk eating Provo's return fire. He seemed to learn that from getting ICED. He wasn't what Rios did or didn't do. Pac just didn't fight like a dumbass for the first time in forever.
As for what can Provo fight. At 47 you got guys like Porter, Thurman, and Maidana. How good would Chino-Provo be? At 40, you got guys like Garcia and Matthysse. Even coming off a loss, Matthysse is higher on the foodchain than Rios. He's not a TR fighter. Therefore he's not bound by the promotional beef with GBP.
He's an HBO fighter, his promoter has made that clear, the other guys you mention are Showtime.
It's pretty much Pacquiao, Marquez, Bradley II, Alvarado II or Rios.
I'd favor Pacman vs Provo. I'd favor Provo vs Rios. Smart move for Provo to fight Rios. As to fighting Pacman, Provo doesn't want the fight - he said he doesn't want to be the fighter to end Pacman's career. If Provo doesn't fight Pacman next, he should be fighting Rios. Easy money and a good action fight.
Nah, he aint even a big 140 pounder, Alvarado and Garcia are bigger than him. Ruslan is simply very durable and strong, Alvarado was 9 lbs heavier and Ruslan was walking him down
