Maidana vs Providnokov

[Dr Rumack]

We'd have to see it, but at the moment I'd lean towards Maidana pushing Ruslan back rather than the opposite.

[Holywarrior]

A fight where anything can happen. Ruslan landed crushing body shots to break down Alvarado. I'm sure their gameplan would be to go downstairs, and then the fight gets interesting. Maidana is soft to the body.

Alvarado is not Maidana.

Maidana, but it would be a hellacious war.

Haven't ever seen Ruslan get pushed back more than a brief second, Maidana has been pushed back in several fights.

Alvarado is not Maidana.

He doesn't like body shots, and those 2 aren't far apart in size.

Yes but they are far apart in ability.

Alvarado was a wrestler who took up boxing late. Maidana has not taken anywhere near Alvarado's punishment.

[Divine Hammer]

IMO Provo is the best inside fighter at 40/47

him and rios imo are the two best inside fighters in boxing right now.

They really aren't far apart in anything. Maidana has been elevated to elite status just because he gave Floyd more trouble than what people thought. If he rematches Alexander, he'll want to retire again.

No, Maidana is a top welter because he earned it. What'd Alvarado do besides outbox Rios lolz.

Rios is a great inside fighter? LOL dude got dominated by Abril on the inside.
