Comments Thread For: Provodnikov: I Would Be Really Tough For Mayweather

[shawn4943]

Sorry Provo, you'll be fighting mandatories and nobodies for the rest of your career, you hit too hard.

Is that Adonis Stevenson in your avatar?

lol floyd's not getting anywhere near provodnikov.

we all saw what maidana did to floyd. ruslan is arguably the p4p hardest puncher in the sport, not to mention more skilled and durable than maidana.

In addition, floyd wouldnt be able to get away with forcing his opponent to wear pillows. Ruslan puts floyd to sleep in 3 rounds max.

I like Ruslans chances against this older version of Floyd.

[champion4ever]

gee that is funny he severely knocked down Bradley in the 12th round after savagely beating Bradley taking years off his career. He beat Bradley and will break mayfeathers ribs

My point exactly! What did Ruslan do between rounds 2 through 12 of his bout against Tim Bradley? Almost close to nothing because he was not throwing nearly enough of punches to seriously challenge Tim because he had gassed himself out earlier by attempting to finish him off in the first two rounds of that bout, due to his lack of stamina.

Moreover in the process, he had taken several middle rounds off while allowing Bradley to gain a foothold back into the fight and ultimately winning it after falling behind very early due to his very low punch volume. Provodnikov only fought in spurts while Bradley dominated the middle rounds by out punching him by some 2 to 1 margin.

Also, lastly Mayweather has a much better defense than Timothy Bradley. He would never get hit with those same type of punches that Bradley did. Therefore, unless he hurts Floyd or knock him out, then there is no way Provodnikov is defeating Floyd with that kind of inconsistent work rate. If anything, he would run the risk of getting Gatti'd by him due to his poor stamina and low punch volume. Afterall, Money May likes to hit opponents who doesn't hit back. He is cautious enough to stay out of the exchanges,

Ruslan might not throw much but he's constantly applying pressure with his footwork. Floyd would have to go to the ropes because his legs are old and he'd be gassed trying to run for 12 rounds. Ruslan makes things very tough for Floyd at this stage.

Floyd at 36, still has the best legs in the sport. When have you ever saw Floyd gassed?

[Kagami Taiga]

Lol, now every pressure fighter is a tough fight for Floyd. Rusk an fights nothing like Maidana. He's not even nearly as big or rugged. He'd get eaten up. Stop this nonsense.

[Foreign Soil]

No he doesnt. His footwork hasn't been great for a while now. Cotto's little lateral movement was about all he could handle. Floyd's legs are his weakness now. Do you really think he would've been on the ropes all night against the pedestrian Maidana if he could outrun him? Safety first!

Where do you guys come up with this **** lol? Floyd fights someone, wins, then yall try to find a new hope. Provod doesnt even belong in the ring with Floyd for one....and if Floyd never been knocked down before what the hell makes you think Ruslan will KO him in 3. Remove your head from your ass.

Of course you'd say that. Another troll.

Lol, I'm the troll for believing a fighter whose never beaten a world class elite fighter would be beaten by the best fighter in the world. Wtf is wrong with this site? Do u ppl understand how ******ed u sound?
