Do you agree that provodnikov is a bum

[Weebler I]

Hes pretty much not a threat to any decent boxer past round 3

yet he had Bradley taking knees in the 12th.

its almost funny watching him get beat up after someone survives his onslaught

His opponents always come out looking worse.

[Thomas_Hearns]

He's a very limited fighter. Bradley made him look good because he traded punches with him. He's in the same level as Vargas, Rios and Alvarado. Put him with guys like Porter, Khan. Thurman, and Steven, and they beat him up.

[Fists_of_Fury]

Ruslan is one dimensional brawler who is slow with very limited boxing skills and on a p4p lvl I guess you could maybe consider him a bum. I don't view him as a bum. He is what he is which is a seek and destroy brawler who will slug it out with anyone because that's who he is. He pushes the action, has heart, determination, balls, power, and makes you fight or get on your bike like Al*****i did. Ruslan also exposed Tim Bradley showing he's not as good as he's supposedly advertised to be. I can see reasoning for people saying Ruslan beat both Al*****i and Bradley(Ruslan wasn't credited with a knockdown or two he should've and we all know Bradley has been somehow gifted with the Canelo type judging).There are a lot of boxers on this site that are over/underrated. For Top Rank Ruslan is one of their better fighters lol.

No

Show me a guy who didn't receive major damage fighting him...

If you think Prov is a bum then you should pick another sport to watch.

It's nuts how disregarded dudes are nowadays. Maybe it's just this site, I think it's a microcosm of fans nowadays, but viewers hate or dislike certain fighters because of their fan base. Wtf? I don't recall saying fighters were bums just because I like an opposing fighter.

It's out of control on this f**king site. I seriously think the majority of mother**kers on this site don't even know what a true bum is.

A true bum is like a D or F grade fighter. Journeyman types who fight on cards behind a 7/11 by the garbage can.

Seriously bums have records of like 9-22-4. **** like that. But here at b-scene guys literally fighting at the highest level of the sport are referred to as "bums". **** is a trip, bro.

[Outwest Exp 355]

Ruslan is no bum. He is just a flawed boxer. Like most power punchers he allows himself to be out worked and gives away a lot of rounds. And stamina has always been an issue with him because he cuts a lot of weight in camp. I've seen him in person and he looked about 180.

[The Hammer]

He's definitely not a bum, but he is somewhat limited.

I've never been a fan of Provodnikov because I see he lacks skills. He does have lots of heart, aggressiveness and determination, but I don't enjoy watching unskilled brawlers.

Algieri has been overrated by some since his home gift decision over Provodnikov, but in reality he's not a world-class fighter.

Anyone who doesn't have a Pernell Whitaker level defense and technical coordination, is a bum to the Flowmos.

He is what he is. An exciting, slow for his weight class brawler. He's an FNF headliner/early PPV undercard guy. Far from being a bum. I just wish people could appreciate guys like him and Algieri for what they are instead of tooting their horns and trying to make them into something they're not.

I agree with this.
