    What does that matter? Are yo denying that Matthysse is much more proven then Provodnikov?

      I'm not convinced that because he beat Top Rank manufactured Alvardo, and lost to an admitted suicidal Bradley that he is any good.

      He has a lot of work to do to get to where Mattysse is.
      Lol wtf. And where exactly is mattysse. Chasing after Danny Garcia and his fans making excuses for all his losses. Lucas isn't as special or as praised as you think he is. You're telling me zab> Bradley now

        My thoughts exactly

          So what if ruslan couldn't hurt Corley.. Chop chop is a legit veteran, and probably one of the best journeymen in the world.. It was a learning experience for a young ruslan..
          Prime iron mike Tyson couldnt beatdown 2 journeymen- Mitch green and James tillis

              He looks like the goods to me. He had Bradley flopping around like a fish and made Alvarado quit.

                I'd appreciate him more if he spent less time following his opponents and more time letting his hands go. That's my only request.

                  I don't think he's a beast.

                  I have eyes

                  So I know he's a beast.

                    Since, Provo couldn't hurt Corley he isn't a beast, but you're forgetting Corley is an ex-champion who fought Cotto, Judah, Witter and Maidana in World title fights and of course the Floyd bout. Sure, he is shot and fights for a pay check, but Provo not hurting him isn't a big deal and nor a great way to measure his career.

                    A better way would be to ask who and for what was Lucas fighting in his 25th professional fight? Compare that to Provodnikov.

                    Point being give Provo time and we shall see.

                      If you go toe to toe with provo you will be hurt , with that said skilled boxers should be able to get the win verses him. Brawlers should avoid him at all cost.
