    Brown stops him. No doubt whatsoever. Brown at 147 was a bigger hitter than Provo, and overall just a much technician than the little Rusky. He'd walk Timmy down, and batter him. Eventually Bradley gets caught with a big hook that puts him flat on his back.

    I once again raise my objection to Brown being portrayed as a big KO puncher, but agree with X on all other points

    Brown is a better technician than Bradley, never mind Provo

    Bradley has better feet, that's the best I can say for him in this matchup

    He was a bigger puncher than Provo, there's no debating that.

    Provo was NEVER viewed as a power puncher until the Bradley fight.

    I'd say it's quite debatable

    Provo wasn't viewed clearly in any way leading up to that fight... it was his first big fight... that's not compelling evidence to me, the perception at the time

    Look at the way Brown obliterated Jorge Vaca, who was considered pretty durable at the time. Brown had legit power in both hands. Perhaps not fight ENDING power like a Tito, or Cuevas, but he had fight altering power.

    and Provo doesn't? He nearly had Bradley stopped on three separate occassions in that fight... with a more conservative ref, he would have had a TKO win... 1 more minute and Bradley would have been knocked out in that 12th round
