Prime Brandon Rios vs. Prime Ruslan Provodnikov.

It's really a shame we didn't get to see this fight. Both are fighters with iron chins and prefer to block with their faces. It could have been this generation's Gatti-Ward.

Who would have won?

It might have been fun, but I don't like comparing everything mindless slugfest-like to Gatti-Ward, though. I never got Provodnikovs hype, Rios would have worn him down if he wasn't shot and weight drained, let alone "peak".

 

[Seano]

Rios. Provodnikov was garbage, really. The guy hit the jackpot losing to Bradley somehow. He never beat anyone at a high level.

 

[HardasNAILZ]

Rios by destruction

 

[PUO3]

Bam Bam would eat him alive after a fun first few rounds.

 

[Queen B]

The guy that didnt make John Molina Jr look like Pernell Whitaker

 

[ironfist05]

Both guys are pretty bad, but I'd actually pick Provo. These kinds of fights usually come down to chin and power and I think Provo has the edge there.

This fight alone would leave both with severe speech impediments.
