including pac and floyd? brandon rios would ko him. Lucas takes Rios soul. I think he can beat this disinterested pac and possibly get an old mayweathers.

Man hes been thrown in with alot of different styles and always delivers. i think lucas can whip everybody from 140 through 147. including pac and floyd? brandon rios would ko him.

Yup, Matthysse is going to have a problem with a crafty boxer, Guzman is very awkward could use angles and counters to pile up points and frustrate Lucas. He does have to be careful though of course because Lucas is a dangerous puncher, hard to discourage, and will be on top of him putting plenty of pressure that I would be interested in seeing how Guzman handles at his age. I like Lucas in the fight but if guzman hasnt lost anything than its a tough fight for matthysse.

At least now finally he can get himself a paper strap at 140 and see what happens from there, at this point he should take the risk and fight the man in your avi HBO or Showtime would buy that and he has a good style to win the fight running away.

look at the those ranks...that Division is really not all that good, just the few fighters at the top really What is funny is that I think Guzman would UD or KO any of the type fighters in that Division, just unfortunate he had Weight Issues, that dude has Top 5 P4P Talent and should have been in the Top 10 for all these years but the Weight Issues got him Blackballed

Guzman is 34 with no wear n tear and hes stronger then ive ever seen him. hes been a welterweight for years on fightnight like pac he used to kill himself to make weight

Guzman challenged him but his management opted to fight judah. guzman beats him and i think mathysse knows it.

I know, he is a world class talent too bad about the time he has wasted. Imagine how different his career may have gone if he just made weight for the Campbell fight a few years ago. He would have put a roadblock on mannys move up.

Over the summer, he ko'd some homeless man in 1, he looked to still have it all physically from what I saw when I watched it. lot of wasted time with guzmans skill set.

I just watched Allakhverdiev vs Mabuza since Allakhverdiev is fighting Guzman next month for a made up title. He looks to have good overall fundamentals decent handspeed ok power, easy to hit kind of if Mabuza could find him.....the stoppage was impressive but he shouldn't have been out of his corner right behind the ref after the 1st KD while the ref was giving Mabuza the count. I got Guzman by UD based on what I saw, he is too fast, awkward, and in the 1st fight with Funeka held up pretty well while Funeka hit him with the kitchen sink so I think he should be able to handle what Allakhverdiev can dishout when he is able to land. Whens the last time guzman fought?

The thing is people make a lot of moving up in weight but actually it's the style. Maidana looked terrible against Alexander, but that was because of Alexander. Then he looked the same as he does at 140 against Karras at 147.

I don't think he can make 140 anymore. I wasnt sure how effective he'd be at 147 but the soto karass fight showed hes still got some strength and decent ability.

This is the hottest division right now. I wish Maidana would stick around but I think hes staying at 147. I don't think he can make 140 anymore.
