Pac fought Rios with both of them coming off a loss Marquez is fighting Alvarado with both of them coming off a loss Its a stay busy fight for when he ktfo's Manny again
what, where ? these are pro athletes an when these pros build themselves up to the nest weight class, they look a little bigger. he didnt even have to build himself up. he focused on more heavier weight training and not draining allt eh way to 35. i love these paq claims and opinions, phukin ridiculous. they cant back up ANYTHING they claim, nothing. he KO'd a chhinny paq so he is roided ? oh ya ok oh i know paq has a granite chin, thats why he was brutally ko'd at 112, 122 and 147. ok i understand the paq logic
can someone explain how jmm can be considered ducking anyone ? he just lost and has the paq v tim winner lined up. how is he ducking anyone ? he is taking a tough fight that he will lose pretty badly anyways. Alv is saving paq for floyd unless paq signs to fight Alv right away. or then claim winner/winner loser/loser. they are doing this so paq is tied up for next fight no matter what. ruslan beats jmm and paq is screwed cause he is too nervous to fight ruslan. paq says they are "friends" and he wont fight him but prov said he would fight paq.. this still keep paq away from floyd for another fight. then paq beats (prob UD) jmm and they will talk phukin 6
how in gods name can you call it a duck to fight someone with no fan base at all.....JMM is fighting for money not props....nobody knows who ESPN Prov is.....
There's no shame in failing to stop Bradley . It's something no fighter has yet to accomplish . (Yet Ruslan came dangerously close) Certain people don't even feel Bradley won that fight ( I don't , I had it a Draw) Whether you feel that Provo is worthy for a Marquez fight or not . There's one thing for sure , he's more worthy than Alvarado is .
I agree w you. Its not so much that he says Ruslan does nothing for him, its that he says that...but Fights Alvarado...i mean, çome on.
He is only the guy that helped propel Tim Bradley's career (just dig up pre and post Provodnikov threads regarding Bradley for a reminder of when he stopped being the other guy in the Pacquiao robbery and begun having fans) and beat the guy who is expected to face Marquez next. If Marquez doesn't want to fight him then whatever but let's not pretend like opponent popularity has anything to do with it.
JMM is an ATG, and almost done. He paid his dues, and now only wants to take fights that interest him or enhance his legacy. Big deal. If he werent on the edge of retirement and was still going for that p4p#1 it would be different. But he isnt. He would probably be retired if it wasnt for wanting another shot at Bradley, and looking to maybe keep busy/sharp/somewhat relevant in the meantime.
There are lots of examples of other top fighters fighting guys lower or at the caliber of Alvarado. Pac fought Rios, Donaire fought Vic again, everyone Wlad fights, Mayweather fought Ortiz, Danny Garcia is fighting Herrera, someone who Alvarado beat. I don't see how you can criticize JMM for fighting Alvarado after fighting Pac twice and Bradley after that. He's fighting someone on a lower level after a series of difficult fights. I don't understand your reaction.
JMM was on roids no question about it. Provo is a dangerous fight and a possible career ender. So no, he'll take an easier route with Alvardo, then hope for another big fight....most likely a 5th with Pac.
Are you serious.....Popularity has nothing to do with selling a fight? Really.... What Promoter is gonna sell a fight that nobody knows who the opponent is..... Prov didn't make Bradley, Bradley made Prov.....Prov was a sparring partner brought in to be a tune up....and now you have him as a headliner......man ESPN Prov doesn't even have a fan base in his native country due to there being so few in population....yet you want the promoters to put all their money into this guy.... Boxing is Prize fighting not street fighting....they fight for money.....Prov brings in none.....go ask anyone on the street if they know who he is...
