How I'd rate them...
Speed: Lucas Matthysse, Ruslan Provodnikov, Marcos Maidana, Brandon Rios
Power (based on KO rate): Lucas Matthysse, Marcos Maidana, Brandon Rios, Ruslan Provodnikov
Chin: Brandon Rios, Ruslan Provodnikov, Lucas Matthysse, Marcos Maidana
Boxing skill: Lucas Matthysse, Ruslan Provodnikov, Marcos Maidana, Brandon Rios
Resume, last five fights (name value, how they won/lost):

1. Lucas Matthysse - All 4 of his last victories are by stoppage. Notable wins are Molina and Peterson. His only loss lately is Danny Garcia and even then he made it highly competitive.
2. Marcos Maidana - Had a solid streak going, mostly by stoppage. Battered Broner very badly and even in his loss to Mayweather (no shame in losing that) he gave Floyd a tough fight.
3. Ruslan Provodnikov - I don't give him much credit for the Castillo win but he deserves it for the others. He gave Bradley more than most others could handle, no shame in losing to Bradley. And Algieri was a stylistic nightmare for him so I gave him the benefit of the doubt
4. Brandon Rios - He beat Mike twice, both by stoppage. Impressive, but Mike was clearly on a downward spiral in his last fight. He beat Chavez but it was by disqualification and he was losing before the stoppage. No shame in losing to Pacquiao but there's shame in losing to Alvarado; especially getting out boxed by him.

 

All u provos fans please answer this simple question.

Who has this "eating shots" machine , who's better deffense is to put his face in front of everything what is thrown to him, faced that has Lucas or Chinos power?............ahhh I thought so.

 

Matthysse by far.........................just signed 5 more years with Oscar!!! He knocked Peterson out in the 3rd round.....................
