5. Ruslan Provodnikov
โThe Siberian Rockyโ currently operates at light-welterweight but has competed at 147lbs โ most prominently in his enthralling world title clash with Timothy Bradley in 2013. Trained under Freddie Roach, the teak-tough 31-year-old guarantees excitement and his constant pressure would prove a stern challenge for Brook. Never one to shy away from a fight, Kellโs resolve would be tested by Provodnikov and with both men holding notable power, there would be drama along the way and potentially some trips to the canvas. Bradley went life-and-death with Provodnikov, so if Brook were to beat him more convincingly, his stock would rise considerably.
