If Tim Bradley is such a warrior why doesn't he rematch Ruslan?

    Why do people need to rematch each other all the time? Not every close win warrants it.

    Because Ruslan lost to Algieri and Matthysse after that. That's why.

    Yes it does. If it's a close good fight then do it.

    Bradley said he won't ever fight Provo again. The fight was too hard, too dangerous for his health. He said, "It may be fun for you guys to watch, but it ain't fun for us."

    I think it's best to make a lot more money before stepping in with him again, you pay a hefty price for an opponent like that, I think if he'd beaten Matthysse we'd see it next but he needs to recover and build himself up again, he lost to Algieri, beat the corpse of Castillo and lost to Matthysse, not worth the risk when Bradley is gonna attract many top welters and junior welters, even thinking of going up to 154.

    Ruslan would need to get at least one quality win before hand. Right now another win over Ruslan does nothing for Bradley

    Provodnikov has not done enough to warrant another title shot. Period.

    ^^This. It's not like Ruslan would bring in a lot of money.

    why would anybody want him to shorten his career? it's a pointless fight with provo having no belt and does not offer much financially. the champions are excellent opponents and there are great contenders like maidana, khan, porter, etc.

    Because Ruslan has done absolutely nothing to warrant a rematch since then?

    Typical fans reaction

    This guy has given us many wars, fights his heart out and has a great attitude about it? Oh well this one little thing bugs me so it outweighs all of that.

    I don't blame fighters for not giving a **** about you fans, fickle and ignorant as hell
