    Can't blame Provo for putting rios last although it's the fight I want the most. A Bradley rematch would be nice but I doubt Bradley engages like he did the first time. I think PAC , Marquez and Bradley all have better footwork and would out box Provo. It would be fun to see Provo apply that constant pressure thou. If he's smart he'll go with the money and the PAC fight. With his style it won't matter if he loses , people will still want to see him.

      He's not ,but Provo verbally agreed to stay loyal to hbo and TR. They've kept him busy so far so it's not problem , YET ...

        No they don't. His first real good, hard hitting opponent was Pacman

            You're a funny guy Acosta, Peterson, and Alvarado all came in as favorites and Peterson and Acosta were supposed to box him easily. Rios lacks some skills but he has a tremendous chin and will to win. Haters gonna hate though

              Damn, I wanted this fight so bad. Arum is an imbecile for putting his biggest cash cow (Pacquiao) in with this relatively unknown hard-hitting beast - who isn't even under contract with TR - although I still favor Manny.

                If this fight happens they are cashing out rios big time,,

                I think ruslan beats him down in a grueling fight..


                Will be a great fight to watch, but i think rios will be outgunned in this one... Footwork causes ruslan trouble, but if you stand in front of him like rios will, i dont like your odds

                  It's a good list. Ruslan Vs JMM, Bradley, Pacquiao or Rios are good fights IMO.

                    rios should take a tune up considering the beatings he has taken in his last two fights.........

                    provodnikov should fight marquez....
