Comments Thread For: Ruslan Provodnikov: No Motivation To Return To The Ring

[Combat Talk Radio]

LOL failing to hit or getting dropped ≠ not having power. How does him getting dropped by Swift or getting wrecked by manny matter. what kind of Idiot logic is that? His KOs speak for themselves and he lit Ruslan up with everything, clean, and couldn’t hurt him. Porter has gone 12 rounds with many small guys, like julio diaz and Adrien granados. He doesn’t have anywhere the highlight reel KOs Lucas has.

It's not about 'highlight reel KOs'. Manny didn't even throw his body shot with full power and Keef reacted like he'd eaten some bad guacamole.

The shots Porter was landing on Formella, if landed clean, cause Keef to take a loss.

Since when is Keith thurman the standard for how hard someone hits? This is all irrelevant to the power of Lucas and Shawn porter. you’re giving me all hypotheticals. Pacquiaos fight with Thurman has nothing to do with what we’re talking about lol. Lucas Mattyhsse Stopped in 3 rounds Lamont peterson. Danny couldn’t even put a dent in him. That’s tells us Lucas hits harder. Danny stopped in 7 Granados. Porter couldn’t even stop him from coming forward despite landing clean shots for 10ish rounds. (he did hurt his hand but he never once hurt Granados before that.) That tell me Danny hits harder. Like i said formella is tough kid, but the day he takes over 300 punches from someone like mattyhsse, get back at me. Porters Kos mostly come from stoppages from him swarming guys. Lucas was putting guys to SLEEP

And what you're ignoring is, power is only one aspect.

You have to look at the kinds of punches, the kinds of fighters, etc.

"At the end of the day", Ruslan ate punches and couldn't do anything while doing so. Formella ate punches while landing his own.

One of them was a punching bag that was only landing when his opponent stopped throwing. The other was landing regardless.

The second guy is a lot harder to deal with.

Ruslan was the David Lemieux of the welterweight division. That's not "tough" to me, when you can only land when your opponent stands still.

My opinion and I still to it.

I'll never get tired of that pic, just sayin'.

His antics at the weigh-in for Alvarado was just a great time to be alive.
