    People speak of him as if he is the 2nd coming of Roberto Duran SMH

    HE is a nice exciting boxer fun to watch & a good fighter

    BUT his best win is Alvarado

    He got outboxed by Mauricio Herrera

    I see little difference beetween him & a guy like Rios

    Nice fighters but not elite or nothing

    Garcia got outboxed by Herrera too.

    Does Garcia belong on ESPN?

    Furthermore consenus is that Provo did much better than DSG. Herrera's a tricky f#kker and great spoiler much like Molina at LMW, but got battered bloody against Provodnikov.

    El Cs mission in life is to start threads telling people that showing interest in fighters with too many Vs or Ks in their names isn't to his taste...c'mon leave the kid alone, it's important for a young man to have a hobby.

    Matthysse would beat the **** out of Provodnikov. If Prov swelled up against Bradley, how do you think his face will look after fighting Matthysse?

    He had Bradley in more trouble than he's been in his entire career, gave him a serious beating and almost finished him in the 12th round. He's not a fighter to be scoffed at.

    The two kids would hurt each other for sure...I like both of 'em, but I can't see any good way of making a H2H comparison without the awkward Herrera-Garcia quadrangle which would seem to put Ruslan in front.

    Undoubtedly it'd be a great fight though.

    I think Provodnikov would lose his punch resistance after the fight.

    Maybe. It's one which needs to proved in the ring,:bbb Both guys have proved their mettle in some great battles and neither has shown any tendency towards folding or any lack of resolve, would be a grade A fight.

    Massively overrated.

    These days the "fans" fall for a fighter who eats punches while slugging with little technique more than any other fighter...

    A lot of it has to do with the agenda-driven connection of Provodnikov-Bradley-Pacquiao.

    I wonder if the ******* shift to Provo has anything to do with the Wldcard & CACAroach connection?? :think ~{Sarcasm}~

    I think both Garcia and Matthysse would beat Provodnikov.

    Rather easily too in my opinion, relative to the sentiment on this forum that it would be "a toss up fight guaranteed two sided war!"
