15 for 2015: Number 14

15 for 2015: Number 14
Oct. 13, 2012, Carson, Calif. --- Former Lightweight champion Brandon "Bam Bam" Rios(R) stops Mike Alvarado (L) in the 7th round, Saturday at the Home Depot Center in Carson, Ca. ---- Photo Credit : Chris Farina - Top Rank (no other credit allowed) copyright 2012
  1. Brandon Rios v Ruslan Provodnikov
    Rios is currently in talks to challenge Kell Brook for his IBF welter strap, but with reports of those negotiations hitting a snag over a rematch clause, a guaranteed war with Provodnikov, who is also promoted by Top Rank, could be on the cards. With similar aggressive styles, a fight between the two would surely be a shoo-in for fight of the year if it were to happen. Both men have expressed an interest in fighting each other in the past and it would be a money-spinner given the potential for excitement, meaning Rios may be more financially inclined to face the Russian instead of Brook.
