        It'd be harder than a Maidana fight, who wouldn't win a round against Floyd, Ruslan is quicker than Maidana and would apply pressure more effectively.

          Hell yeah. LMAO. LOL @ The contradictory posts in this thread.


          If you **** on Khan and Maidana (which I do as well) you HAVE to **** on this fight as well. Mike Alvarado earns you a shot at Mayweather now?

                I think Maidana's footspeed is better, but he just takes so long loading up on his shots which would be too predictable.

                Provo has better handspeed but is not as good at closing distance, Bradley was able to win the middle rounds easily when he boxed. Mayweather wouldn't make the mistake of staying in range.

                If there's a GBP fighter I'd like to see Ruslan against it's Garcia, DG wouldn't move anywhere, it would be a good fight.

                  A cherry pick in the sense that it would be a fight against a massive underdog yet again.

                    maidana is a waaaaay tougher fight than provodnikov imo.

                      Bradley won the middle rounds due to his insane toughness to reach them plus Ruslan punched himself out and had to take rounds off. Bradley uses his feet even more than Mayweather, yet Ruslan reached him plenty. Alvarado's footwork was too much for Rios, yet Ruslan again reached him. Are you saying Ruslan couldn't reach someone like Alexander? Someone who Maidana was far too slow against to land anything. I think Ruslan would batter Alexander.
