    I'm not thinking of just this 1 fight,bro.This will be the 2nd time he's fought in America & in my eyes,if he wins,that will be 2 good showing & he'll start to stake out claim at 140,remember he has to start somewhere.

      If Maidana is not that good that doesnt say much for Ortiz and Khan.

        Fair enough, I think people been overrating Judah but Mathysse seem to got fairly good body work and can punch. I think 140 division is very overrated if you remember how good the one was a few years back with Cotto, Mayweather, Hatton, and Tszyu, this current one is **** in comparison.

        Never thought much of Ortiz and hes proved to me that hes not going far, Khan had loads of room to improve, time will tell if he will be the next star, though I'm not quite convinced.

                I disagree completely,the beauty of it is that all those guys are young,they can only get better & they are all actually fighting each other.Hatton & Tszyu are the only ones that fought each other.If I'm not mistaken the only champion Floyd fought there was Gatti.

                Never thought much of Ortiz and hes proved to me that hes not going far, Khan had loads of room to improve, time will tell if he will be the next star, though I'm not quite convinced.

                No need to be,Matysse can make a big splash,I like the kid & I don't like to see young fighters come from abroad & take an L on there records after performing like that.

                    Freddie hernandez stopped corley in 5. Then he fought berto.......A win over corley at this point is nothing. A loss on the other hand would end matthysse as a prospect.

                    Rubensonny great point on the current 140 as compared to the names you just mentioned. I watched a replay of hatton v. tszyu the other night and what a fight. Too bad tszyu was off for so long, he would of handled hatton and we would of had an extra 2 years of that beast in his prime.

                      And that my friend is why 140 is better now than then.
