    No one disputes Provodnikov's power, he is a heavy handed animal. But he is a neanderthal. Lucas can box, look for openings landing big shots and still detonate him. Provodnikov is without doubt the slowest person in the top 10 at that weight. Lucas's speed advantage and his own power will get him through this with the W.

    Mauricio should know

    He had no respect for Danny. Even walked him down and beat the snot out of him.

    I agree that Lucas is a better boxer, but he doesnt have speed advantage, actually Ruslan's hooks are faster...

    And for the record, I like Danny a lot, I want to see him fight top guys only. Being a huge fan of boxing for 50+ yrs I just get perturbed at top fighters being put in with guys way below their talent level just for the all mighty buck. I miss the old days where fighters fought the best regardless of circumstances.

    Is Khan facing the best or what? Good fight, bad fight?

    Tim Bradley said Ruslan was the hardest puncher he's been in there with.

    But he says Lucas hits harder than Ruslan in this video.

    Sparring and an actual fight is 2 different things .

    Big George said Liston was the most powerful man he's ever fought in sparring .

    Big George then said Lyle was the strongest fighter he's ever faced in his entire career.

    Bradley fought RUslan and matthysse and made this statement


    Bradley: I've never felt power like matthysse and that's wearing 22oz sparring gloves

    It's funny you say that because when every knowlegable boxing trainer/fighter on YouTube disagrees that ruslan is quicker

    Problem I have with Provodnikov is he struggles to go 12 and needs to take breathers, cost him badly vs Bradley and he slowed down only to chop down Alvarado

    He is a poor adjustment maker. Up 10-7 with a a guy with a shut eye he was hitting air all night and incapable of cutting off the ring

    It's a shame he hasn't had a big time fight since Algieri to see where he's at because he looked horrible, not sure if he was exposed or if it was an off night
