I don't think he was ruined, because he knows he should have stuck to the game plan and if he did like he showed us for a lot of rounds, he was more than capable of out boxing Provodinkov. But he got silly by doing what he doesn't normally do and he tried to blast him out of there, which clearly wasn't the right tactic against a power puncher. However it did bring us a great fight and for Bradley to be that hurt and still somehow win a close fight commands respect IMO.

I don't know how his punch resistance will be after this fight, he could have taken a lot of years off his career with this fight, we will have to wait and see. He's shown that he can also be hurt we well, which might bode well for other 147 fighters. Bradley needs to box more and win rounds if he wants to carry on being a champion though.

I don't know how he would get on against Marquez, but he certainly should go for that fight now and adopt different tactics than he used in the last fight. I still Marquez would take him though, I think it would be close but Marquez is the man at the moment.

Bradley vs. Rios and Pacquiao vs. Marquez V are inevitable for me. I'd imagine they're next.

Inevitable? I'm not sure about that, look at the Floyd vs Manny fight we all wanted.
I would sure like to see those fights though.

Bradley is a warrior, always has been and it took a thrashing for people to sit up and take note. His determination and pride is a credit to his heart and can be a curse to his game. He can't change who he is and his slugging or 'sticking to his game' wasn't really his option to decide with a clear head once he was repeatedly rattled. They should choose wisely for next fight and honestly not Rios, Provo or that sort. If JMM wants to dance it would be a well earned high profile payday and style clash but I'd favor Marquez on accuracy and depth.
