I can guarantee you one thing, Provid will put up one hell of a better fight than Rios did

SMH if Pac resigns with Arum after his contract is up by 2014...hes the biggest idiot in the world. Top Rank has screwed him over with $, taxes, rematches, cherry picks gone wrong *marquez*bradley(not official but led to many say he lost 2 in a row); and now fighting his own teammate/friend, which will most likely make Roach lose him as a pupil.
No reason to think Pac would ever step up for himself and demand a new fight or fight someone from another stable. if he didnt do it at his all time popularity, he sure as hell wont do it now and forever be a yes man

Prov is must see TV and would be a more fan friendly fight but the Bradley fight is for legacy and revenge

[straightleft]

Provo will come forward to Pac and bring the fight but he will make a big mistake if he does that. He should watch Oscar, Hatton, Mosley, Margarito and Rios fights where they were too aggresive on the first few rounds. You can't just do that to Pacquaio if he doesn't want at the receiving end.

Yes Provo you will be ****** if you don't avoid this fight. Your stock is higher because of your last two fights but it will dip once you lose to Pacquiao. People will see you can't handle elite levels. True or not, you could delay it, beat some more credible opponents, make more money then you will still have the fight being from Top Rank. You annihilate every other WW out there not named Manny so why hurry?

Interesting match up but I think ruslan is gonna hurt pacman he is better than rios . He is a much stronger and faster fighter he is a pressure and can cut off the ring well. Pac man might get battered if this fight happens. I would love to see a rematch with bradley and pac man but with the way bradley out boxed marquez I think he would beat pac man easy . Pac man doesnt have it anymore . People give him props for beating up rios who lacks skill . Rios is just a flat footed power puncher he has no skills at all of course that was easy for pac man. Ruslan is a different fighter he will take pac out easy.

Provo is a beast

Bradley was a month in the hospital

Yeah but Pac is not your average fighter, he and only maybe 2 others beat Ruslan. He will wear down 95% of guys and pummel them against the ropes until they drop.

Damnit. id love to see Ruslan go off and fight other fighters and defend his title elsewhere. Theyre plenty of fish out there for him to keep rising and shining on. And keep winning. Fighting Manny is step huge step up. It wont be a sparring session in there. No matter what happens...im a Ruslan fan!

Bradley was a month in the hospital

about half as long as it took for Ruslan's face to heal up.
