    So Pac's ducking of Provo was justified then:huh

    Don't be stupid. When did Provo call out Pac? They're from the same gym and have no interest fighting each other. The Pac-Bradley II fight makes more sense at this point.

    Not really a duck hes waiting for Pac vs Bradley winner

    Kinda like what Khan did instead of risking a loss just wait for the big payday

    No one here in Marquez's shoes woulda picked to fight Provodnikov if you were guaranteed the Pac vs Bradley winner

    Provo said many times that him & Manny are good friends, but he would love to get to fight Manny & even said he would accept Freddie working with Pacquiao if the fight were made.

    Infact, the only people I seen down playing provo vs Pac is freddie & pac. Provo did want the fight. Not calling pac a ducker but Provo made it clear that he did want Pac.

    Sorry bro, it's a duck for sure. He was quoted as saying that Provo not being 'meaningful' enough was the specific reason for not fighting him and then he goes and fights the guy who Provo just beat the shiznit out of. Now, Marquez is a great champ, but if that is not a duck, then what is?

    All you internet warriors are too quick to throw out the word duck simply because a fight you want made does not take place when you want it.

    I'm not a big fan of JMM and I'd prefer to see him face Providnikov instead of Alvarado but I don't know why people are complaining about a JMM-Alvarado fight.

    JMM will be almost 41 by fight time and is coming off a loss himself, not too mention Alvardo is still pretty highly rated himself despite losing to Provodnikov in his last fight.

    If it happens this is a pretty decent fight, not the fight most would like to see for JMM, but its not a bad fight at all. I do think it should be on HBO and not ppv though.

    Making a dumbass reply to my post didn't point out anything. Stay salty, though :hi:

    So in other words, he never called Pac out like he did with Marquez.
    "Ruslan Provodnikov: Juan Manuel Marquez is afraid of me: YahooSports"
    JMM may be 41 but he KTFO Pac little over a year ago and didn't look too badly against Tim imo.

    He said he wants to fight Manny Pacquiao that it would be a honor to him. & he said he is willing to have a different coach for the fight. I call that a attempt to make the fight? what do you consider this? & this was before JMM was even mentioned. I consider this a call out, of course he didint purse it like JMM because of Roach being a mutual trainer.
