Comments Thread For: Ruslan Provodnikov: I May Finish My Boxing Career Soon

[gyllespie]

What a beautiful plan. This man is blessed. I mean he's already exceeded expectations as a boxer so anything he achieves is an added bonus. He could retire today and still be regarded as a winner in life. He won't come close to reaching the HOF but, still, not many people in the world can say they became an exciting world champion. Go and live your quiet life whenever you want, Prov. That sounds quite alright.

I'm happy for him on the fact that he wants to serve and help his people but as a boxing fan, this saddens me, as he has become one of my favourite fighters to watch. I personally think if Ruslan has the proper state of mind with his boxing career, he has the potential to become one of boxing's next big names and PPV attractions. But if he has already achieved what he wanted to in the sport of boxing, he will need a new form of motivation to stay hungry. Maybe a big money fight with Manny. Doesn't help if no one wants to fight him either.

As someone else pointed out this could have a lot to do with the scar tissue.

Dang lotta hate for Ruslan seems like on here. Maybe he promised his mom that he'd quit and pursue a degree or something. Know he's close to his mom. He's not the best by far but really a decent fighter. Not everyone can have the best reflexes and speed to defend themselves.

He's certainly been more successful in his career than anyone from Serbia ever go him a chance to be. He's achieved more in his career than I've in my career as a C.P.A. Perhaps I'm in company of millionaires on this forum

I was thinking the same exact thing. It shows the maturity level of some of the people on here

bs i think he's just trying to get the big fights asap, keep him away from pac man old man because he will finish your cash cow.

Good! So people can stop hyping your non-defense having, blocking punches with your face, wild punching ass up!

Floydspastics and their race driven ******edness always give us a laugh. Its the same with Kovalev and GGG.

I have a lot of respect for his attitude and approach.

gee that's funny he savagely beat Bradley and took years off his career won the fight if the counted the knockdowns. bradley will throw a big party if provo retires

[Weltschmerz]

I still wanna see Prov vs Bradley 2. That could be on PPV and would be worth every penny

I agree. Their fight was voted Fight of the Year by Ring Magazine. Who wouldn't want to see a rematch.

[Snake4380]

He's already putting the excuse out there for why he's going to disappear from boxing for a while after he takes a beating from Pacquiao...

Savagely beat him while still managing to lose and have a face that looks like a monster after the fight . I cant stand how terrible most of the posters are . Was a great fight and I take nothing away from Provo efforts but sounds like your trying to give Bradley no credit for outboxing him and carving his face up with simple jabs.
