Boxingnews24 it. So what do you think definite fight of the year candidate but is Provodnikov worthy?
Provodnikov is much better than Rios ever was, so it will be decent fight vs Pac i still expect Pacquiao win.
It'd be a step up from fighting Rios... Which is just pathetic to be talking about from an ATG in Pacquiao. I hope he fights Bradley for sure or somehow manages to buy out one of the Golden Boy promoted top 10 WW's for a fight.
Provodnikov is definitely a step above Rios. At this point in Pacquiao's career this is as good as it gets with Top Rank should be a barn burner. Ruslan is a hard puncher regardless of how he looks against Rios Provodinkov is 2 times more dangerous still Pacquiao should handle him. Fingers crossed but maybe this paves way to a Mayweather-Bradley fight in May, Arum has been more receptive with Bradley than he ever has with Pacquiao. And Bradley knows where he stands so there would be no room to wiggle on demands.
He should be fighting that no good, **** talking Bradley, who is so insistent that he won the fight with Pacquiao, even though, every sane person with a working brain who saw that fight, had Pacquiao winning by a very wide margin. I want to be able to see that filthy smirk removed right from Tim Bradley's face by a few Pacquiao left hands.
I rather have Provodnikov defend his title against Vargas or Allakhverdiev. Pacquiao and Bradley have unfinished business to take care of.
Honestly I'd really like to see that. Provodnikov vs. Khabib would be a good fight. Agree. If Pac cares about entertaining people: vs. Provodnikov If Pac cares about his legacy: vs. Bradley
I'd rather see Ruslan continue to be built up a little more first. I know there was talk about him and Marquez. Meanwhile it be cool to see Manny cut into Golden Boy's stable with guys like Broner, Garcia, Alexander or even Khan. For that matter Provodnikov-Mathysse would be excellent as well. Pacquiao-Broner with Provodnikov-Matthysse should sell pretty decent.
Entertainment wise Pacquiao-Provodnikov is without question better than Pacquiao-Bradley I, however in terms of legacy and two great high skilled fighters going head to head it isn't even close and Pacquiao-Bradley II would be that matchup. At least at this time
i dont get why ppl wanna see bradley/pac rematch. why?? pac won already just think of it that way pac/rios winner vs provo all day.
I was at the Bradley - PAC fight and even I don't wanna see that again - easy win for PAC but not a great fight for either - PAC or even Bradley again against prov would be more fun.
There is a much better chance that Pac will fight Bradley or Marquez next. Mayweather will never fight Pac because of his intense fear!
