I like Matthysse he is exiting and I believe he should have got the nod against Zab and most definitely against Devon, however if he did have this huge power those fights wouldn't have gone to the score cards in the first place.
Lucas is a boxer puncher with much more than a sluggers skill.His power is real enough to drop elite fighters with 1 blow.Knockouts don't come as easy when ur fighting world class fighters,but if U drop everone of them u've encountered that speaks for itself.

I'm amazed at how people seem to think Matthyse is a much better boxer than Maidana.
The thing about maidana is he can force people to fight his fight. He did get through to Khan in round 10 and in some spots earlier too. He lost, but it was a competitive fight. He also (even more impressively) pulled Ortiz into the trenches, broke him and stopped him. Matthyse has never done anything of ths sort.
Maidana wouldn't have let Alexander and Judah go the distance the way Matthyse did. He would have forced it better
KOing Ortiz and Hurting Khan badly in FOTY is better than Going about even with Judah/Alexander.
Maidana > MatthyseLast edited by ts33; 07-15-2011, 07:13 AM.

Zab has losses to people far below elite level (so should Alexander for that matter).
