Is Lucas Matthysse The Most Overrated Boxer Ever On This Forum?

I don't nearly post here a much as I used to but I check back in from time to time and something I've noticed (really since the Lamont Peterson fight) is the legion of Lucas Matthysse fans that have emerged and how much some of you are overrating this guy. From claiming he's gonna blow Danny Garcia away, to saying he's the next Pacquiao, to claiming that 'this' or 'that' boxer is scared of him. I'm not completely surprised because this is not the first time this forum went crazy and overrated someone before (search for old Arthur Abraham threads) but this guy may take the cake... Now let me tell you why Lucas Matthysse is vastly overrated (at this point). 1. His best win is against Lamont Peterson, who is a solid fighter but come on some of the praise about this guy... and his best win is against Lamont Peterson?.... a post PED's Lamont Peterson at that 2. He lost to an old wash up Zab Judah.... *nothing more to say about that 3. He can be hit at will - I'll admit I haven't seen even half of his fights but I can say I've watch at least his last 4-5 fights and this guy doesn't slip many punches he can be touched, and touched often 4. His jab is trash... paws with half of his jabs as a range finder Now I'm not saying the guy sucks I'll even admit I probably won't bet on the Garcia-Matthysse fight because it's to much of a risky fight to bet on IMO, but if Garcia out boxed him and beat him by UD I wouldn't be surprised one bit...

He was vastly over rated by a lot of people, but he is still one heck of a fighter those two things are not mutually exclusive. I didn't think Danny had the ability to get the job done against Matthysse because while he is a good boxer he is more offensive minded thus I thought he would end up in too much of a firefight, he did end up in a firefight but he took care of business better than I thought he could. Garcia also improved in his biggest fight, so you have to like him going forward he has a really nice future.

Lucas is overrated by not that much. He was KOing people on some serious sh-t. Garcia was just VERY underrated. His skills have improved greatly since his first fight with Morales. Hes young so you should expect them to grow as they fight tougher opponents.

Once again Fans who don't know sh1t about boxing FALLS IN LOVE WITH KNOCKOUTS! GGG could be next especially if he fights Andre Ward anytime soon! SKILLS NEGATE POWER...EVERY TIME, we seen it Twice Tonight from Danny Garcia and Floyd Mayweather SKILLS PAY THE FUKIN BILLS! It is not just something that sounds good to say...IT IS THE FUKIN TRUTH! LEARN ABOUT BOXING and stop pick fights with your PRIDE or because you hate Americans or other BS that has nothing to do with BOXING Knockouts are Great but I would gladly take boxing skills over Power ANY FUKIN DAY! Most of you underrated Danny because either your a bigger Khan or Morales fan that hold a grudge against the Kid or because of his fathers ego so you look past the kid skills in the ring. That kid is SPECIAL, his Boxing Skills and Speed is EXTREMELY UNDERRATED!

Lucas is rated fine. Danny Garcia on the other hand is very under rated. He looked very good tonight. With this win he deserves to be mentioned in top 10 p4p.

Matthysse isn't overrated, it was that Garcia was grossly underrated. Tremendous performance from Garcia. Matthysse is still extremely dangerous at 140 pounds.

nope. and if your a garcia fan, ya'll need to stop dragging him name through the mud. mathysse is a stellar name on garcia's resume that's a legit win against a prime, boxer-puncher.

Don't try to jump off the bandwagon because I will start to pull up old comments and threads LMFAO Give Danny His Props!!! He pretty much put on a Clinic and was in control BEFORE THE LOW BLOWS Danny Garcia is just the better overall fighter but Matthysse is still a BEAST and will bounce back and I still think he beats most at 140

I said Garica would win. PPL need to stop hyping power punchers. All these boxing fans that dont have a clue. Everytime. GGG will be next. Chuss me. Danny Garcia deserves his respect now. And to think PPL actually thought Matthysse would beat Mayweather if he got past Garcia. Bunch of clowns. As Roger says: 'y'all dont know **** about boxing'

Matthyse was overrated, but I think you have to give a lot of credit to Garcia because a lot of us including me didn't think he had the ability to box as he did for the most part of the fight. Matthyse showed great heart though.
