Ruslan Provodnikov is Now Ready To Resume His Career
By Igor Lazorin, tass
According to former world champion Ruslan "Siberian Rocky" Provodnikov (25-5, 18 KOs), he is ready to resume his career in 2017.
Provodnikov took a break after going 3-4 in his last seven fights.
The last time he saw action was back in June of last year, when he lost a unanimous decision to John Molina in what many viewed as an upset. The fight with Molina was the first bout of Provodnikov's new deal with Showtime. For Molina's end, the win catapulted him to a world title shot in the fall of that year with Terence Crawford.
Provodnikov, 33 years old, has had a lot of grueling fights over the years and needed the time off to rest his mind and body. After the loss to Molina, he admitted that his desire was missing from that fight.
Prior to that fight he picked up a quick TKO win over Jesus Rodriguez in Monaco, and then in April 2015 he lost a majority decision in a "Fight of The Year" candidate against Lucas Matthysse at the Turning Stone Resort and Casino in Verona, New York.
"I have not finished my career," Provodnikov said. "I constantly train, I'm ready to jump in there at any time, even on the street. I'm ready [to fight], but I do not want to waste my energy on the rumors that go around all the time [that mention me as an opponent for certain fighters], but if a decent offer is presented [for those fights] - I will get in there."
There are still a lot of possible opponents for Provodnikov on Showtime, which is home to a number of big names from junior welterweight and welterweight. Some of those possible names could include Adrien Broner, Adrian Granados - rematches with Chris Algieri, Molina - and several others names are out there for him.
hmmmm and i thought he was going to call it a career soon

I think with any PFP list you can rearrange the rankings by your own perspective, but the people on the lists should stay pretty consistent. Amazing how many lists (ESPN) are flat out terrible at who on the include. I agreed with every one, except possibly LSC. I may over rate Pacquiao at this point, but I would have him above LSC. Small complaint. Other than that Pugmire succeeded in putting together a strong list, albeit some small differences on ranking via each persons tastes.First list of this nature I've seen without rigo on it

Cept when he's killing guys in the ring, calling black folks monkeys, flipping off UK crowds, and taunting opponents...
Those colored fighters though, I tell ya... can't stand that Andre Ward with his stuck up ways

At this point I legit don't understan how soneone has GGG as P4P #1.
I mean really, not hating...
Two main approaches to P4P rankings: resume and "eye test" fantasy matchups
If we go by resumes there are multiple fighters in better divisions with better wins.
If we go by eye tests then many people said they put Golovkin where they put him cause he domunated everyone even if those were not elite guys. But this just ended with the Jacobs fight.
He scraped through Jacobs who is a good fighter but was an 8-1 underdog and was probably ranked nobodys top 20 let alone top 10 p4p on a debatable fight.
Ward also only scraped through Kovalev on a debatable fight but Kovalev was actually a top 5 p4p fighter already.
So how does it make any sense to put Golovkin as #1? Is the guy who only debatably beat Jacobs would beat every boxer in the world p4p?
How does he not ranks Jacobs in the top 10 then?

2 years off for Klitschko means nothing. This isn't the 1980s. All these older athletes are on trt. They don't age like average human beings. There's ring rust but he's not fighting an elusive mover like Tyson fury. He's fighting a stiff puncher with good hand speed. I'm still not convinced about femis boxing skills.

Bet if kkkov had won though he would be #1 on all these nikkas list
this country is fukking disgusting famPromote a fight between 2 p4p fighters as a fight for p4p dominance but get mad when your guy loses so lets add the nikka who got boxed the fukk up by Danny Jacobs who is no where near no damn p4p list
