    He can hit gloves yet the shots look to still bother his opponent. Dude has that clubbing, Foreman type of power.

    to be honest there are certain guys out there. and i don't blame fighters for quitting against them. provo is one of the, along with ggg. i know they're not the most skilled. but their power is frightening. i don't want to see anyone get permanent brain damage.

    Bro he has only a few good fights left in him. No way is he like Foreman, he's more so the Russian/Asian version of Kirk Franklin. Just wait and see.

    Provodnikov sure beat the Hell out of Bradley..................he was cheated out of a knock down early, left Bradley on the canvas as well.............but Bradley's judges and referee.......................well...............they also cheated Pac..........

    His fight with Alvarado reminded me a lot of cotto-margarito I. The way he applied pressure and the even though Alvarado won some rounds u can still see that Ruslan had the momentum and it was just a matter of time before the pressure got to Alvarado.

    GGG is way more skilled than Provo, you can tell by the way they box. I would say even more: Golovkin's boxing skills are quite underrated as everyone is blinded by his force. Without those skills he would never have beaten Dirrell and Bute, who both are regarded as technicians, in the ams, and would have never had 345 wins in 350 fights.

    yeah you're right. golovkin is a far better technician than provo, i just find their power eerily similar

    Well, he reminds me of Rocky Balboa...from the movies - I actually can't think of a better comparison.

    Ring name spot on for once.:bbb

    Kovalev also has that same kinda clubbing power in every shot, yet also doesn't really seem to load up to get it, if you watch Beterbievs coupla pro fights, he seems to do it too.

    These guys ain't supermen, maybe its something they're trained into in the ams, sacrificing a little speed to gain more power? IDK....- perhaps only the guys who are thought to have serious power go pro - after all, there's a ton of quality ex-sov ams who never turn pro.

    Frightening power is Julian Jackson or Tommy Hearns.

    Provo isn't leaving people asleep on the floor.
