Provodnikov Now Open To Possible Pacquiao Fight - Boxing News

Good choice.. FOrget this friend shit in boxing.

You'd think he would need one good win on his ledger before he gets a shot at Pac but at least he's better than Rios.

Rios was a come-back fight after Pacquiao was brutally knocked out. If it wasn't a comeback fight, it would have been ridiculed.

Provodnikov has put together a string of good performances and there's some intrigue behind him. His fight with Bradley last year was a contender for FOY. He then smashed Alvarado in Alvarado's hometown. He wanted to face Marquez, but Marquez avoided the fight.

I wonder if the fight would be at 140.

If I were Pacquiao though, I'd fight Marquez and go after Canelo.

[walrus]

Has Roach had two guys he trains fight before in the past. It would be interesting and Pac and Prod have been sparring partners for a while now.

[FinitoElDinamita]

That sounds like a better plan, Rant... marquez followed by canelo but the problem is, he would lose to both, let alone Marquez...

Marquez fight will always be a war and he would be putting alot of tax on his body and for him to move up to face another killer in canelo after is kind of nuts!

Call me crazy but if pac does face Canelo after marquez, I believe he would get beat into retirement...

I get a feelings that the current canelo is too much for pacman..

Canelo is not too much; he's too BIG.

[p4pking]

Indeed. Canelo probably can't even make 154 anymore, he'd be way to big for Manny at this stage. Besides it wouldn't get made with the promotional rift anyways.

You may be right on both accounts. I'm not sure Pacquiao would be effective against Canelo because of the size difference, but it'd be a helluva fight to watch.

So would Pac Man v Thurman, Porter, Khan but it will not happen.

[Beanflicker]

I'd love to see Provodnikov beat Broner's ass at 140.

Pac's made a career out of outfoxing bigger, slower dudes. I think Pac would take that one.
