    "The less punishment you take the longer you stay". Boxers like Prov are fun to watch but they burn out faster because of all the punches they take.

      Outboxing Prov is not that challenging.

      Algieri, Lucas and now even Molina...

      Boxing needs guys with that face first, warrior mentality but they have a limited shelf life.

      Once the fire has gone, time to retire.

        Marquez is not like the guys I mentioned,,, he isn't a come forward smash mouth fighter.... He is a counter puncher, but he doesn't possess good defense like most counter punchers hence why he is always getting tagged.. I'm talking about the guys that come straight forward, eat two punches to land one.. Marqeuz is not that type of fighter

          Seems like exactly what Marquez did against Pacquiao. Certainly was Marquez in Round 12 against Bradley.

          But I get what you mean. The Arturo Gattis of boxing.

            Well there's always Algieri vs Provo 2
            Seems to make since, I mean what else does either guy have going for them. Algieri has just lost at all 3 levels. If anyone needs a light touch, possibly Molina, its him. As for Ruslan, he's a true pit bull. He can fight on as long as he's willing to take it. He's durable but just let's himself eat savage shots. Maybe just put him in with Mayfield or Emmanuel Taylor

                SHO ain't trippin. This deal was really for Demetrius Andrade and other guys at Banner like Chris Algieri, Willie Monroe, ect. If Ruslan fights, good if not we still have Chris and Andrade.

                  Mike Tyson vs. Reggie Gross.

                  Gross was one of very few fighters to actually bring the fight to a prime Mike Tyson and I respected him for it. Unfortunately he's also a murderer, so that respect was lost. Still, the sequence is one of my all-time favs.
