Now I understand that Lucas has a mando and its a fight that makes sense but shouldnt this fight be the fight in the works? I mean all we heard about was the end of the cold war and imo this is the fight to make. That big pr campaign oscar and arum did about ending the cold war to try make haymon look bad even tho haymon is only one willing to enter purse bids. If they are serious this fight will happen soon.
Maybe im not being fair but with all the bs people talk about everything else imo they should be just as serious about this fight happening
Mathysse of course wants to finally get a well deserved belt he probably should have got already. Great fight though none the less, so we shall see if the cold war really is over
i guess technically if they make 1 fight its better then it was before but i feel like were being hoodwinked as fans by top rank. hell i think even gbp is being hoodwinked by top rank. I get both are possible opponents for manny tho but imo they should fight and the winner get manny. Plus we all know if bradley beats rios that most likely we will see manny bradley 3. I will honestly be shocked if manny fights an opponent not in top ranks stable
Because Matthysse has always wanted the WBC belt so he's fighting for it. Plus Arum doesn't wanna put Crawford in with Lucas and De La Hoya was too keen to put Lucas in with a tricky fighter like Crawford.
that is my point tho dont u remember the big pr campaign from oscar and arum how they are ending the cold war and haymon is to blame for all? they did bunch joint interviews and everything

Uhh...what????
Matthysse was actually Crawford's mandatory and the WBO President wanted the fight.
Only question I have is whether Golden Boy wanted the Crawford bout or preferred the easier Postol bout. We may never find out.
oh i didnt know that
Usually a boxer waits for the outcome of one big fight before making another big fight. Matthysse is a hell of a fighter but so is the man he is fighting. He is not a sure thing to win. I think he wants to give this fight 100% of his effort and attention and worry about Crawford after his current fight is over.
Even if he wins he still won't be thinking about Crawford since Amir Iman is the WBC mandatory, that the guy he should be thinking about
If anybody deserves a big fight it's Matthysse, the guy will fight anyone and is due for a big payday
Yeah, man!! Lucas has to go for Pac. Imam and Crawford can continue to build themselves up fighting other guys or each other for all I care.
if thats the fight that gets made fine but wouldnt it make more sense for pac to fight the winner of a matyssee crawford fight?

ya no doubt about that just cause the guy hes fighting has not been on usa television dont mean nothing i agree with that but thats why i meant if matyssee wins and since when does arum and gbp not start promoting fights before fights get over?
I like Pac-Crawford but the only problem is we don't get to find out who is the 140 king. Crawford-Matthysse could have come before Pac-Crawford.
Provo burned him against Bradley & Alvarado.
I have to admit, I do have suspicions about Algieri getting the nod against Provo and landing the Pacquiao fight that supposed to go to Provo.
uhhh maybe but i actually though algieri won
Pac Crawford is a more interesting fight IMO anyway.
Lucas has Postol now. And if he wins he gets imam.
So what's the problem?

no doubt arum is the real problem always has been even now that oscar is his puppet he still wont make fights. hell he wont even let his guys fight provonikov

F*ck Imam!! Let Crawford fight Imam. Lucas has to go big and get a fight with Manny before he's officially out.

Matthysse vs Postol is top ranks vs golden boys
Top Rank just has options on Postol, kind of like they did Provo for a certain number of fights. He's not with Top Rank.
are you still going to want to see the fight if Postol beats Matthysse? There is a solid chance that can happen...
Crawford could fight Benavides, Herrera, Vargas etc. too. I'm sure the plan is to build him along as he climbs in weight
based on what? Aside from height and reach I don't see what postol brings to the table.
And he put Alvarado in with Provodnikov and it drove Mike to coke
I'd say crack, but I get your point lol
