    Provodnikov was already offered the Crawford fight by Top Rank, but he said no. Postol also said through K2 that he needs 2-3 fights. Herrera also declined to fight Crawford. This is why we are getting Hank Lundy next month.

    Crawford chin is glass how can you get rocked by a guy as small as gamboa?

    Ruslan would knock him the **** out

    Neither could Maidana and Postol but Aydin and Hernandez did, Chop Chop has an erratic chin.:deal

    true just going of some fights is silly

    the reality is Ruslan hits like a truck hits very very hard lucas said he was the hardest puncher he faced

    Bradley said he hits like a sledgehammer

    Boxing isn't about punching hard.

    The majority of this forum would've thought we were crazy picking Granados over Imam, while Crawford is waaaaaaaaaaay better in every way than Imam, I could still see him being taken out by a fighter like Ruslan (not saying Ruslan is exactly like Granados) but pressure busts pipes.:hey It could happen.

    Dangerous fight for Crawford early since he's a slow starter after he gets in rhythm he would shut Provo out.

    Apparently, he wanted a Herrera rematch and both parties were interested, so we may see that fight next.

    People who only watched the highlights of Bradley-Provodnikov probably don't know that Ruslan got beaten so bad in most of the mid-rounds that Roach was talking about throwing in the towel in 10th.

    Crawford by wide decision.

    Yea, Provodnikov has very underated handspeed and unlike the Avocado-Man!, Crawford likes to brawl. (Either he likes to or he gets dragged in rather easy)

    I would not bet on Crawford. And Tim brawled with Provo, thats why he beat him up so bad.
