Comments Thread For: Roach Doubts Pacquiao-Provodnikov, Arum Does Not

[samoura?/a>]

If by throwback you mean limited, plodding slugger, you are absolutely right. I have nothing against him. I am just concerned about his health after Bob Arum is finished using him.

The "slow plodding" Provodnikov is starting to be replaced by a guy who chases you down and cuts the ring off well. This was the difference between Provo and Rios as opponents for Alvarado. Mike was able to box Rios for long stretches, but Ruslan made him move wayyyy too much and never let him get off himself. He was forced into 90% defense and evasion.

I don't want this fight to happen... either Pacquiao smokes Ruslan or Ruslan lands an overhand right that might hurt Pacquiao. There's plenty of other boxers for these two warmachines to destroy

So its a 50/50 fight but you rather see them fight less caliber fighters so they get easy wins?

Please do it. I'd love to watch these two go to war.

Arum is reluctant on Pac-Bradley 2 yet he wants Pacquiao vs Provodnikov, its better for Ruslan to stay at 140 and defend his titles.

I guess you guys haven't figured it out yet... TR are running out of opponents for Manny and Manny is very close to retiring. They need as many opponents as possible for Manny and seeing as Bradley nor Marquez are going to rematch Manny then TR are left with very few options. If you look at TR stable compared to GB then you can start to notice how dry TR are starting to get with match making at 140-147. While GB has tons of match ups with fighters from 140-147. GB stable is just far better then TR.

too Bad Our Hero, is not an option. For Either Pac ore Provo....
