Stylistically who’s a tougher fight for Khan?

The one... And only problem with Provodnikov is his inability to throw punches when trying to catch an opponent. His style is perfect for coming forward against a fast mover like Khan but would he throw at the correct time? If Provodnikov were to get the right offensive trainer like Jackson, I believe he would put Khan within 4!!! With out that it's just a matter of when, would Khans chin fold.

Porter would rough up Khan but I Porters punchs are often too Telegraphed and wide/looping which I give Khan; he would toy with with his length. Porter for having such a long amateur background I'm surprised he was never taught to tighten his punchs but the a loopy like Pascals. Which can be countered easily.

I think Ruslan is the bigger risk. No doubt Porter's better and would make life rough on Khan, but I have a hard time imagining his offense being enough. Khan would land the cleaner punches and since Porter doesn't hit particularly hard, Khan should manage.

Provodnikov hits hard enough to take Khan out at any moment from the first bell to the last. He's also an absolutely relentless fighter. At some point he will touch Khan with that power.

Since when do you have to hit hard to take Khan out?

Also, Porter hits more than hard enough to take Khan clean out.

Porter. His footspeed is underrated and would prevent Khan from staying away from him. His workrate would be enough to steal rounds and we've seen Khan struggle with pressure guys before. Porter is also far stronger physically than Provodnikov.

Also, if Algieri and Lucas are outboxing Provo with ease, you can beat Khan will.

Uhhhh... No Peg.

Porter easily, much more game and doesn't go sloppy late fight like Provodnikov

Porter doesn't get put off by light punchers too

Which is the reason Khan will go for Provodnikov
