    Alvarado had a 9lb weight advantage over Provodnikov and that didn't help one bit, size is usually not a huge factor at the lower weight divisions.

    if provodnikov escapes the clutches of TOP RANK, I would love for there to be a welterweight BANGERS HARD HITTERS competition with

    GARCIA (moving up from 140)
    MATTHYSSE (moving up from 140)
    PROVODNIKOV (moving up too)
    MAIDANA

    obviously seen Garcia v Matthysse at 140... but we still got some great fights between these guys.

    Overall I think Garcia/Matthysse wins it. He was unlucky against Garcia with the loew blows taking much out of him.

    Best chin from the 4 goes to Garcia, most power is between Maidana/Matthysse... most susceptible to cuts is Provodnikov - but he has the biggest heart I think. Weakest chin is Maidana - who has been dropped several times and in all of his big fights has been backed up at times. Garcia is laso the best boxer from amongst the four.

    Provodnikov - Matthysse - Maidana would be wars
    The Garcia fights with the other 3 will be brutal but Garcia will be more tactical, while the other 3 facing each other are all seek and destroy type guys

    Provodnikov's chin shouldn't be written off the map either, he's packing pure granite in that mandible and that bull neck doesn't hurt him in the durability department either.

    Whats the situation with Bradley and TR, i dont really care about JMM or Pacquiao much now because both will be gone soon JMM possibly after 1 at most 2 more fights. If Bradley and Provodnikov went over to HBO. Imagine a Super 6 at WW for a shot at Floyd. My 6 fighters in the tournament

    Provodnikov
    Garcia
    Maidana
    Bradley
    Matthyse
    Thurman
    Hell make it an 8 man thing Add
    Khan
    Porter

    Don't forget other names at WW like Guerrero, Rios and Alvarado So many fights at WW and LWW

    provo is with banner promotion and not TR.

    HBO pay is better than Showtime.
