Hard to call... Provo is welterweight sized in Mancini's time... Might just be too big for Mancini's style to work... Mancini was uncommonly strong for his size though
hmmm tough one. Mancini is faster and busier, but provodnikov might be too strong and big for him. Gun to my head, I probably go with Mancini
Provo is bigger than Mancini, but I dunno if it's by a huge margin. Mancini was a BIG lightweight. I mean, he's a big lightweight for ANY era. He was short as shit, but with extremely wide shoulders and a very thick foundation. He just had that Youngstown physical strength. Whereas Provo has that freakish Soviet strength. It'd really be a brutal fight. Mancini had faster hands and better technique, maybe that would tip it in his favor. But Provo is truly a fuckin psycho in the ring and simply LOVVEESSSSS the violence of fighting. That, combined with his Rusky strength might be too much for Ray.
So you think the Soviet Union is superior to Youngstown Ohio? Are you a communist? Better dead than red X!
in a roundabout way... Provolone would save a lot of cows taking this fight JMM with chest acne (JMMCA) would batter him to the point that no one would buy provolone anymore, after that people would associate all cheese with him and boycott cheese world wide. I guess we'd need less cows as no one would make cheese, or would we have more cows?
