    Provo rocked iron chinned Bradley, i think he puts Maidana to sleep in a phone booth war.

      For the record: Provo has better resume by his 26th fight than Maidana had by is 26th or Matthysse had by his 26th but I don't think that is count anything becauseI don't see Provo improving

He gets hit by everything, his chin isn't that impressive, and his face falls apart rather easily. And u wanna believe he beats maidana? I don't see it.
        prov was robbed against bradley. what top fighter did maidana beat? no sorry broner doesn't count lol. top fighter not top hype.

            It's usually 50/50 with sluggers/come forward fighters at this level. One punch can change the whole fight. I'd lean towards Maidana because of his awkwardness and jab

              Maidana hasn't beaten any top class fighters. His best win is against an overhyped, lower B level, blown up lightweight. His next best wins are against C level guys like Karass, Lopez and Ortiz.

                Chino wrecks him bad under 6 rounds. This would be an exciting fight for as long as it last

                  it depends on your definition of top class. i consider guys liek broner as top class because, frankly they are. they arent elite but they are world class fighters. prov has not beaten any world class fighters. none. all the hype he gets is from a close fight with tim bradley. its perplexing. miadana has a close fight with floyd mayweather and ppl will still tell u prov is the better fighter. seriously it makes no sense.

                    Broner isn't top class. He's average, at best. Alvarado has more skill and power and Provodnikov destroyed him.

                    Maidana almost lost to Corley. I know hypers will say how much he's improved but he really hasn't improved much. The Floyd rematch proved he's not a smart fighter and still can't change gears. Maidana will forever be an up and down fighter. Provodnikov is more consistent, win or lose, his losses are all razor thin. Maidana has some very weak losses and some unimpressive wins(Corley, Morales, Lopez).

                      Ohh c'mon already... Do we follow the same sport? Broner is better and has more talent than Alvarado. That's crystal clear. And no, I don't say cause I like Broner, I don't like him. I know that on this site is cool to be biased but luckily not for me...
