    GGG 9
    Kovalev 8
    Lomachenko 8
    Provodnikov 8

    Lomo is Ukrainian.

    Golovkin is from Kazakhstan.

    Kovalev and Provodnikov are both Russian.

    What you should have said is how would you rate these 4 former Soviet Union fighters. Then again your only brain cell must be fried from having to remember to breath.

    1. Golovkin
    2. Lomochenko
    3. Kovalev



    4. Provodnikov.

    You forgot the heavyweight champion of the world :patsch

    Anyway, here's my rating, just in terms of talent:

    1. GGG
    2. Loma
    3. Kova
    4. Vlad
    5. Prov

    GGG is UNBEATABLE @ 160

    KOvalev is UNBEATABLE @ 175

    Lomachenko could be beat by any # of fighters from 122-135(Rigo,Garcia, Donaire, SantaCruz, Mares, Fortuna, Barthelemy, etc.)

    Provo could beat many styles from 140-154.......but Algeri just proved that with subjective scoring, if he don't score the KO, he would be beat by most slick fighters.

    So

    GGG
    KOvalev
    Loma
    Provo:think:think:think

    Oh, come on. It's quicker to say/write "Russian" than it is to say/write "from the former Soviet Union".

    The people in these countries are all the same anyway. Kiev used to be the capital of Russia. In Russian, the word "Ukraine" literally means "the outskirts" (of Russia, of course).

    Kovalev is russian
    Provodnikov is russian
    GGG is half russian and as much as I understand his native language is russian
    loma is prob ukranian , but I'm not sure about that,because he speaks russian to his daddy.
    One way or the other these boxers are either russian or part russian.

    Former USSR countries speak Russian, doesn't mean they're Russian just as Americans speak English, doesn't make them English. GGG is Kazakhstan and Lomachenko is Ukranian.

    Incase nobody has paying to the news, Ukraine and Russia havin a lil conflict atm.

    Ukraine is about as close to Russian as you are going to get, its similar to the differences between Sicily and Italy slightly different dialect, slight ethnic difference but almost the same. As far as Kazakhstan goes the southern part is Turkic which is Asian Arabs the rest are Russian immigrants Golovkin's father is Russian. Lomachenko is from a Russian speaking part of Ukraine most likely ethnic Russian.

    Ethnically the most different one is Provo he is a Mansi which is like a Slavic Eskimo mix.

    Ignoring the obvious and repeatedly commented upon ignorance on the part of the OP I would rank the four boxers concerned in terms of resume.

    Kovalev
    GGG (though a win over Geale will trump Kovalevs Campillo and Clev victories)
    Loma
    Provo

    In terms of raw talent

    Loma
    GGG
    Kovalev
    Provodnikov

    Though it's a really tough one amongst the top 3 - both Golovkin and Kovalev have displayed the kinda fight finishing power that I've yet to see demonstrated by Lomachenko at the top level. Kovalev is the most dangerous finisher amongst the four, but buys it at the expense of some defensive vulnerability. Provodnikov has fought perhaps the best known opposition but has shown vulnerability to skilled counterpunchers on repeated occassions.

    I need to see more of Lomachenko in the pro ranks and see Golovkin taken outside his comfort zone (which probably means the top end of 168 ) - also Kovalev is simply a phenemonal offensive fighter - whilst I'd typically bet on a fighter with more balance (Loma and GGG for instance are both offensive fighters who remain extremely guarded whilst on the attack) - I remain curious as to how far Kovalevs annihilatory assaults can carry him.

    All of which comes accross as a bit hard on Provodnikov who is an excellent fighter in his own right, but for me is a blood and guts warrior, whose heart will carry him about as far as he's already got. Provo will be hanging around the 140-147 strapholders and putting them in hospital for the remainder of his career and is likely to get his hands on another strap sooner or later, but is always gonna be vulnerable to skilled boxers.

    Lomachenko
    GGG
    Kovalev
    Provodnikov

    But GGG and Kovalev have the potential for the biggest paydays.

    And Lomachenko - Ukrainian, and if you call him Russian, he will hit you!– Arum told
