Comments Thread For: Ruslan Provodnikov Willing To Go To 147 For Big Fights

[lets rumble]

Every time this guy steps up in class he gets beaten......
He gives a good hard fight but he gets beaten ..,
Not quite a journey man but not elite

He needs to move up anyway..his workrate at 140 is too inconsistent. That is the only thing holding him back IMO.

A lot of people writing him off after a close loss that normally would have been met with a fair amount of outrage considering the style of Algieri.

Year old future hall of famer who is way over the hill - on nov 28th in Russia

The only top 10 welterweight Provodnikov would have a chance against is Maidana. That's a 50-50 fight. Everyone else beats him easy.

I think Maidana would be a good match, they're both aggressive brawlers who gas out early. I doubt "everyone else beats him easy" though, people seem to forget what he did to Bradley.
