WBC interim light welterweight champion matthysse (32-2, 30 KO’s) will be fighting lightweight hank lundy (22-2-1, 11 KO’s) on the undercard of the alexander vs. brook on jan 19 in LA. this fight is seen as a warm up for matthysse considering lundy is on a 2 fight losing streak.
according to an online poll conducted by the ring magazine, 27% of 3,855 fans wants garcia to fight matthysse in a sure barn burner, while 45% voted brandon rios as the top opponent for garcia.
hypothetically speaking, once garcia disposes of judah on feb 9, the next big fight is garcia vs. matthysse and should be done sometime july 2013. matthysse is the mandatory challenger to garcia's WBC belt and both are promoted by golden boy, so there is no reason for this fight not to get made. if GBP won't make this fight, it's because garcia (more like al haymon) is cherry picking his opponents and intentionally passing over legit competition. i'll boycott garcia's next fight if it's not matthysse.
your thoughts?
To say Danny is ducking is just plan stupid. Before his fight with Amir you could make an argument that Amir was a more dangerous fighter than Lucas yet Danny still took that fight. So for him to not duck Amir back than and go and duck Lucas now makes no sense.
Thats the funniest thing I've ever read on nsb.

If Danny doesn't fight Lucas after say 2 to 3 fights, then yes.
If Khan comes knocking on Garcia's door again he will answer. Who else is going to give them the pay day they have been getting lately. Lucas has earned it the hard way and should be next for the title no matter what
All I know is people are stupid, if they think that Danny Garcia is going to fight a legit fighter anytime soon, Khan was just a 1 time thing.
More than likely he will try to fight Morales a 3rd time or Judah a 2nd time.
For some reason I don't think GB would like to make that fight just yet.
The reason is obvious. Danny's popularity is at a all time high and while Lucas has a decent fan base among boxing people he still hasn't become a major attraction. They want to milk Garcia for everything they can get before throwing him to Matthysse. It's a shame really because a win over Garcia will add another star to the GBP roster.
I wouldn't say Danny is ducking Lucas just yet but he sure as **** doesn't seem interested in fighting him. Who can blame him it's a high risk low reward fight. But it is a fight that needs to be made. I'm going to be really pissed if they side step Lucas for their next fight and fight someone else, especially if its Khan.
because Judah name brings stupid people to the table. Golden Boy are afraid to put him in against Lucas
true that, if garcia doesn't fight matthysse before the end of 2013, then garcia is officially ducking
Garcia couldnt do that with khan because khan was the power name so he had everything to gain and nothing to lose with that fight, but with matysse is completely different. he can afford to duck him
i guess that's where these sanctioning bodies come in, i mean, what's the point of having a mandatory challenger (interim champion) if he won't be fighting the other half of the title i.e. the champion

matthyse would beat garcia, garcia doesnt want to fight mattyse
depending on how well garcia beats judah, it can be used as a measuring stick to see if garcia has the style to beat matthysse, as it stands now, i think matthysse has the chin and defense to take garcia's best shots unfazed.
didn't you just explain it right there?
No not at all. Garcia ducking Matthyse would be if Golden Boy offered him the fight and it was the best offer and he turned it down. If the promotional company that promotes both fighters isn't putting the fight on thr table how is either fighter ducking the fight?
Can somebody explain how Garcia is ducking Matthyse? Was there a fight offered by GBP to him and he turned it down? I think Golden Boy wants a Khan rematch which would probably make them more money and in the meantime dont want to risk it with a dangerous fight with Matthyse. I think Matthyse and Garcia will be made after Khan rematch assuming neither guy loses.

yes he is.
if he doesn't fight him after Judah then he should be stripped
Ill refer to my previous post, how long did he avoid Ajose and was he stripped?
