My gawd ProvESPNidkhov has become MASSIVELY overated

Provo is a lot better than Matthysse. What he did to Bradley , you don't do unless you have decent skill behind the power.

Provo would give Mayweather a better fight than Maidana. Bradley wouldn't struggle with Maidana like he did with Ruslan.

And Provo would blast Broner into oblivion.

 

Bradley was only in trouble because he fought the dumbest fight of his career. Otherwise, Bradley would have won a WIDE UD.

Floyd would Gatti Provodnikov.

 

With a little less of the extreme, I completely agree with this...

 

Maidana is a lesser fighter than Provo so we will see if he gets 'Gatti'd'

Bradley changed his style after round but but still couldn't escape Provo's pressure , who applies it almost as good as Foreman.
Provo is no ordianary fighter. I can see the talent with my own eyes.

Marquez wanting no part of him says it all.

 

Marquez is 40. He just wants one last big payday before he retires. Marquez eats come-forward fighters like Provodnikov for breakfast. The Marquez of the 3rd Pacquiao fight schools Provodnikov. Hell, even the Marquez of the 4th fight would probably beat him.

 

Im not interested in your assumptions of what might and what might not happen.
Marquez beat Manny now better than he ever did before.

AND if you want to talk 'schooling' that is what Marquez received from Bradley. Provo near knocked Bradley out. Something nobody ever came close to. Not even Manny when Timmy had two bust feet.

 

WW 2013 Maidana is a lot better than WW 2013 Provodnikov.

And that is based on CREDENTIALS, not your personal opinion.

Maidana would not have let a fight with that 2010 or whenever it was version of Herrera be that close.

And perhaps Maidana doesn't buzz Bradley around the ring if they fought instead of Tim/Provodnikov (although if Timmeh fought like he did vs. Prov, I'm sure the exact same thing would have happened), but I'm pretty damn sure that Maidana wouldn't have plodded forward like a zombie landing less than 5 punches per round and cough up the next 6 rounds after dropping Bradley early on as Prov did.

Thank you.

 

Matthysse would beat Provodnikov by late stoppage. Matthysse can box AND punch. Provodnikov would look like the Elephant Man.

 

What 'credentials' are these? Because all you did is offer me your opinion based off nothing.
Maybe this. Maybe that.

I deal with facts. Not opinions.

 

No, styles make fights, and Provodnikov would be tailor made for Marquez. Who is Provodnikov's best win? Alvarado, another ESPN level fighter?

 

Yep. Holt also had Bradley on the floor and in trouble as well, but I don't see anyone pumping him up on that basis alone.

 

You are saying styles this and styles that, but Provdkinov and Bradley will always be a great fight, precisely due to styles.

 

I don't see anybody at lw beating provodnikov. People are dumb to just ignore what he did to bradley. And if you think Herrera beat him I don't think u watched the fight. Maybe you read about espescially when you talk about espn fights like they don't matter in the boxing world. Rather casual fannish sounding. Which is fine but you shouldn't run off at the mouth if you only watch ppv or big hbo/showtime fights. Brads took a knee in the closing seconds if the twelfth. Haha he was broken by an "espn" fighter. The #2 p4p guy in the world broken by an espn fighter from a lower division. And he stomped over alvarado. If you see a dumb bull fighter like rios in provodnikov I don't think you have an eye for talent. He's nowhere near overrated. Guys salivating for a big fight against anyone. Never heard the word money come out his mouth. This the kind of guy we need to get behind in my opinion.

 

Matthysse vs Provodnikov is a great fight, Matthysse takes it for me but I'm a big fan of both.
