Why does everyone duck Matthyse?

Thats boxing, unfortunately.

Aside from being high risk of course, he's kinda just made it "back" after taking two losses, agree with the decisions or not. Close fights as a no name, we know it happens. But the fights let us know he's always been this good and now that he's learned how to win fights at the top level, it makes him much more dangerous this time around. I'm sure he's avoided for all the reasons we're used to, but it won't last for long now that he's a solidified player after working his way up again and fighting Olesgun.. That fight was supposed to be the undercard to Alexander-Bailey so, even then, he hadn't quite returned to main event status after getting his chance in one against Zab. I think the Soto fight was an undercard, too. He made the most of the opportunity after Alexander/Bailey fell out and they put on a great fight. Now people want to see him in all kinds of fights and others won't be able to avoid him much longer. Hopefully he can get one more action fight under his belt so that he will still be in high demand even if he loses in whatever big fight he is approached with.

GBP is setting up Garcia-Khan II....don't know if yall know by now, but Khan is the money man at 140...GBP will cater to him and him ONLY at 140....Lucas and Danny are not priority...be real!!!....GBP makes more money with a Garica-Khan rematch than other at 140 atm....so Danny gets some names to beat on till Khan gets back and the sequel will be made...mark my words!!! in a way I feel kinda bad for Lucas...he deserves a dance right now....and Chino NEVER turned him down....he's open to fight anybody....thats one thing about Chino I rock with....he don't give a fuk!!! Didn't Khan suggest fighting Matthysse not too long ago.

hold up ..maidana never said "no" to him ..infact he's open to it...

Because he's a tough fight and there's very little financial incentive? Maybe?

I feel the same way about th little opportunities that are givin to him. Golden boy is doing a horrible job in getting his name out there. He can do some great things in his career if givin the shots to prove himself!

Matthyse is the modern day Margarito its a high risk low reward type of fight. Ofc you'll get the recognition of fighting a top 10 guy in the division, but your not getting a lot of money for your troubles. A fight with Judah just makes more $ense unfortunately.

Matthysse should purposely get knocked out by a pillow, maybe then his division would man up and face him.

does anyone realize judah has a win over lucas not saying he deserved(very close fight though)it but garcia has a legitimate reason to fight judah over him for that reason alone. once garcia beats zab and doesn't fight him then we can scream duck.

3 people =/= everyone. and Maidana has said numerous times that he wants the fight. To send him the contract

Because they can? That is just how the cookie crumbles~ No one outside of boxing message boards, close personal friends, family and maybe a few people in his hometown in Argentina knows who he is or could pick him out of a line-up. On top of that he is really good, he seems tough and can crack~ so why would anybody in their right mind fight that guy by choice? You don't have to like it but it is painfully obvious why guys aren't anxious to fight him.

He's the worst risk/reward at 140. Really bad on both counts.

As fans we must push for Garcia-Matthysse for Garcia's next fight after he KO's Judah.
