Caveats:
1 - I am a fan of Matthysse and Mayweather
2 - I am not biased to any fighter
Question:
Assume Lucas does beat Danny, why wouldnt he get a fight with someone else at '47 before taking on Floyd? Its the same thing with Hatton, unified 140 champ, then jumped straight to a '47 fight with Floyd and got outclassed.
I understand getting the opportunity and payday etc, and Floyd has limited shelf-life, but why do people jump straight to '47 without testing their abilities there first?
Gotta go with the somewhat underdog and rep Lucas. I think he really deserves this shot at a run to a proper world title claim, and furthermore I think he really wants it.
I dont respect Peterson much now because of the problems with drug testing and that will always leave a cloud. Assuming he was clean though he is a good fighter and either guy could take it. If Peterson KOs Lucas I will eat massive pie, as right now I only see a close decision victory, or blatant robbery (overdue this year) for him to win.
Straight right hand, duck to Ghosts left, rinse, repeat enroute to a UD or 2nd half fight stoppage on Ghosts eyes. Thats how I see it.
Ghost isnt technical enough to brawl Money inside, and you can bet your ass the referee in Vegas wont allow the same tactics as the Berto fight.
You can just watch it on HBO...why suffer youtube?

Khan fighting Mayweather is turrible, just plain turrible. Khan have turrible style, turrible footwork, turrible smarts, and an extra turrible chin and garbage at setting up punches. He just a smelly turd in a turrible garbage wrap.
Your spelling is terrible.
Im sorry but what a load of sh1zz
Unless he wears no headgear and uses 8oz gloves in sparring, its obvious his chin will be less at risk of getting tested and getting knocked down...
SMH.
Im a fan aswell, or was...
I had it 115 - 113 for GGG, with 4 rounds I found very hard to score. Give half of those to Canelo, and voila, you have the 115 - 113 the other way. Honestly to me this felt like a draw. Canelo was faster, counters were cleaner and looked to have landed some hard shots. GGG wasnt walking him down, was out of character. Not what I expected from GGG, and maybe thats what the judges saw also.
It was far from a robbery though, and I was rooting for GGG to KO the ginger.
Lets be real here, if Floyd was able to stun and KO hatton, he will be able to do the same to Khan. Khan cant resist mixing it up, and Floyd has the reflexes to make him miss and then counter. Its too obvious I cant understand why its even debated.
As for Khan deserving a fight - from a entertainment perspective he absolutely does. I would love to see this fight. From a challenger moving into position perspective, Danny Garcia deserves the shot, IMHO.
That was utterly glorious.
I Stated in another thread I picked Lucas by KO, and Im so happy he delivered; he will be a big rising star now and get the fights he deserves. He would absolutely kill Amir Khan. IF Lucas can take big punches (heck, he took Judahs best back hand uppercut, which is no joke) he will kill Danny Garcia no problem.
Naseem was FAAAR more entertaining for my money...
Heck, even Nigel Benn id rather watch than Froch.
Froch is pretty classless in his self absorbed hyperbole, particularly around how ace he thinks he is. Id like him a lot more if he was humble.
Sure he ****ed Bute up, but he isnt really a knockout artist or on a fully elite level as an all round A+ fighter.
He is a good scrapper with some skills, and his best asset by far is his chin.
Dont get me wrong I like and support Froch but he loves the smell of his own farts this dude...
