LOL at anyone saying khan wouldn't take the fight...have we heard this before, with another fighter from argentina???

I think Khan would take the fight in a heartbeat if that was what GBP/Roach wanted him to do, and I think he would beat mathysse tough but clear UD. He is a better fighter now then when he fought maidana, and I don't think Khan would fight like that again, he would be more careful next time. At the moment Mathysse has nothing to offer khan, but hopefully it is a fight we can see in the future.

Mathysse is a crappier version of Maidana in my personal opinion. Not trying to put a diss on him because he is still a good fighter, but I think Khan would win a fight against Mathysse much easier then he did against Maidana.

Edit: Rather Khan face winner of Maidana/Guerrero.

Those two "losses" to Alexander and Judah are going to hurt Matthysse.Promoters aren't going to risk their ighters against a dangerous fighter like him - too much of a risk and not enough reward.They've seen what's capable of doing and they're now in a position where they have no reason to want to fight him.



What Matthysse needs right now is a couple of televised fights on the undercards where he can further establish himself to the American audience and position himself for fights against other champions in future.

I agree

There is something about khan-guerrero that captures the imagination. I hope he beats maidana and we can get that fight, both skillful, fast, colourful guys. I don't think khan or guerrero has fought someone as good as the other.

At this point in Khans career he is looking up not down Matthysse has lost his 2 big fights rightly or wrongly.

He also has overrated power as people with good K.O percentages often do fans see that 80% knock out ratio and get excited but who has he ever K.Oed that is any good?

A hard hitting pressure fighter that can’t get Zab out of there in 12 rounds, is not that good of a hard hitting pressure fighter imo.

Khan would beat him to a wide U.D if they did fight I wouldn’t rule out a late TKO either.

Well I'm rooting for Maidana currently because Guerrero pisses me off. But that might change but who knows. I respect both of their boxing/fighting skills tho. I just don't think I like Guerrero as a person. Khan vs Maidana was an awesome fight too, I'd like to see a rematch.

Agreed, it would be a great boxing matchup.

dude. what are you talking about? mathysse is a full out pressure fighter (he can box a little too though)

he's a master of putting pressure on his opponent.

No he isn't. If he was then he wouldn't have lost to a low output fighter like Zab Judah or a low connect percentage fighter like Alexander (robbery, that one). He actually tries to box mostly. Watch a Matthysse fight and a Maidana fight back to back and you'll get it. Matthysse comes to beat you. Maidana comes to kill you. That difference in attitude is the difference in their records. I think Maidana beats any fighter that isn't prepared for war. Matthysse might make a late surge against them.

in my opinion Matthysse beats Maidana, but Khan knock him out easier. Maidana it would be difficult as Matthysse not press the same way
