    bradley won by mainly going toe to toe with ruslan ... sorry folks but that means mayweather wins a very comfortable decision .. those wide looping rights will not catch mayweather

    canelo hydrated to 165 and was in tip top shape at the weigh in...
    yes i know weighing in 1 pound less from his previous fight almost killed him..

    god man, please learn this sport. ONE THING would be nice considering you know ZERO, and i mean u know NOTHING at all...

    and before you go off sh!tting your mouth like always, i never once said anything about cottos weight vs paq. i think cotto was in good shape and not drained at all. paqs best win IMO. problem with that fight is far worse than weight.

    cotto had NO trainer, his father/trainer passed and he went without a trainer. what kind of promoter is arum, letting one of his fighters go out without a phukin trainer

    PBF by shutout clinic. Provo is too slow and gets hit way too much. PBF would light him up like a Christmas tree.

    Ruslan would not be throwing as many punches for two reason 1) he will miss a lot . Unless he is just stupid , he will have to adjust to be more selective with his punches in order to make it to the later rounds.

    2) he will get countered and countered often, and floyd is much more discipline then Bradley he will not get dragged into Ruslan's brawling style.

    I won't say ruslan would beat floyd. Just keep a couple things in mind...floyd has been letting guys occasionally corner him or put him against the ropes. That's where cotto had his success. Floyd just doesn't seem quite as quick on his feet anymore. I realize that still he is faster than most n certainly faster than ruslan, but he hasn't fought anyone, ever, as aggressive and ferocious as Provo. He comes forward n cuts the ring off. Far better n more effectively than Miguel, who was able to occasionally pin floyd down, has ever done. Not to mention he hits like a middleweight. Floyd's great, yea. But letting ruslan pin him in a corner just once might be enough. N if cotto could do it, provodnikov certainly can do it. So I'd take floyd if I'm betting but to brush ruslan provodnikov off as a one trick pony slugger is a grave miscalculation. His hand speed foot work power and ability to corner his opponent are all noteworthy. He's not fast on his feet but he's always in position to punch, never off balance n keeps pressing.

    I agree with your opinion of Ruslan and I would give him a real shot at beating anyone other Than Floyd!

    Not that this would happen anyway but I'd rather see Provodnikov fight others in his division. This fight will be a one-sided UD in favor of Mayweather.

    And Bradley did so to gain the public's respect after the abuse he got for the gift decision against Pacquiao.

    Comments like this are idiotic and based on pure delusion.
