Mauricio Herrera: "No one wants to fight Lucas Matthysse, I'm willing to fight him"

Garcia doesn't rematch hard opponents. That should have been clear when he said he wouldn't give Matthysse a rematch. As far as Herrera goes. Styles make fights. He needs to calm down.

tough talk from herrera. matthysse beats him up into a pulp. GBP make it happen Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

Herrera seems like the type of guy that just wants to make a name for himself so he will fight any of the top dogs. I LIKE IT!

So who does Floyd fight next though. With Garcia flopping and Khan unavailable, isn't he short of an opponent for September? If Lucas can get two KO wins, surely he will be in the running? Understood. If he beats Khan, he would definitely be in the running. However, I could see Team Garcia interfering and maybe we'd get a Garcia/Matts rematch at WW. Danny seems like he doesn't want Mayweather, but I think they (especially Angel) would feel salty if Lucas got the shot instead of him.

No way Matthysse gets Mayweather for beating Herrera. He would have to literally decapitate the dude for it to have that level of impact. And in that instance Floyd wouldn't fight him anyway.

I think Matts needed to beat Garcia to get on Floyd's radar. I could see Khan/Matthysse materializing if Matts got through Herrera and Khan beat Collazo (or whoever he winds up fighting next). That's a left-over 140lb match-up that I'm interested in, and the winner of that would get on Floyd's radar. I could also see Khan/Garcia 2 occurring. The guy who's gonna get screwed in the Mayweather sweepstakes is Thurman. So who does Floyd fight next though. With Garcia flopping and Khan unavailable, isn't he short of an opponent for September? If Lucas can get two KO wins, surely he will be in the running? Herrera should have beat Danny and be champ now. Then LM-MH would be for the 140 title. Understood.

Schaefer wants it, but he wanted Matthysse-Maidana too and LM said he wasn't moving up. You think if Matthysse beat Herrera he could be Floyd's September opponent?

How do you mean? Herrera should have beat Danny and be champ now. Then LM-MH would be for the 140 title.

Lucas probably knocks him out! That's how it be sometimes in boxing. Danny beats Lucas, Herrera beats Danny, Lucas beats Herrera. Lol Herrera has never been dropped plus he rolls with punches so its unlikely a ko for Lucas but this would be an interesting fight. I think herrera by ud because garcia beat Lucas with a technical game plan.

Herrera. He should be the champion. That jab will keep Lucas away, and I think Ruslan hits harder than Lucas. Herrera! New king at 140! Tim Bradley already confirmed that Matthysse hits harder than Ruslan even with the sparring gloves they used.

Indeed, he's ok at that weight and really doesnt have the height or body for 147, wouldnt make sense being good at 140. Herrera beat Garcia but unless he plans to clinch and punch Lucas in the balls all night Matthysse KOs him. you're underestimating herreras chin and defense, fight goes 12

Schaefer wants it, but he wanted Matthysse-Maidana too and LM said he wasn't moving up. You think if Matthysse beat Herrera he could be Floyd's September opponent? Considering how Herrera has made so many new fans with his performance vs Danny, if Lucas knocks him out, I could see it happening.

From what I remember, Matthysse only ever intended to move up to fight Mayweather. In an interview pre-DG, he said he wasn't keen to move up.

Possibly. It should be for the 140 pound championship though and if it was, I could see it more. How do you mean?

Herrera doesn't throw in combination, which is how you freeze Lucas, I got LM

Would be hilarious... Garcia and Matthysse has a close fight for #1 spot at 140 and then some Herrera shows up and clearly beats them both :D

So Broner is not interested?

Whatever happened to the plan of Thurman and Lucas on the same card, setting up a fight between them??? Schaefer wants it, but he wanted Matthysse-Maidana too and LM said he wasn't moving up. You think if Matthysse beat Herrera he could be Floyd's September opponent?
