Comments Thread For: Danny Garcia: Matthysse is Just a Regular Tough Guy

[HughJass]

this would be a great fight i would be betting on garcia to pull it off not really a big fan but hes got one serious lefthook

Beating an unknown in Molina does not warrant a title shot. If Khan beats Matthysse, then Khan/Garcia 2 would make perfect sense.

The problem is that Khan is still popular and the saction fees that the belts would collect would be bigger than anything else out there. Like always they would make the exception or rank him higher.

I know what you mean but you have seen how it works.

Lucas should be getting his shot right now cause he has earned it the hard way (maybe harder than most).

This business standpoint in this sport alters move than any other sport

I'm not a fan or, nor am I believer that "Business trumps all". There's only so many times that certain fighters can get shafted before they receive the opportunity they've earned. The longer Matthysse is forced to wait, the more hungry he'll be once he actually gets the shot at the top dog. He has the style to be a star, so it's all on GBP. I don't think Garcia will avoid Matthysse either. I expect that it will happen next summer.

Garcia wants to get Morales/Khan money for his bouts. They might not feel that Lucas might not bring the purse they are getting used to and are now looking at Judah.

I wouldn't be suprised that if they take a Judah fight and win that a rematch against Khan would happen.

Nobody is rushing to fight Lucas that in reality should be undefeated

That's what I think it is..... all about the Benji's. He is talking about getting paid and finding a way to not justify fighting Matthysse but he still didn't say that the fight was worthless. He said it would be a good fight but he just don't see any reason to hold Matthysse in any high regard. I think the fight will happen because both are with Golden Boy (Hopefully). Golden Boy seems to be taking pages out of the Top Rank book of business lately because Lara should have been fought Canelo but money wise it didn't make sense but not letting things guys fight each other is not helping them in the long run as developing fighters.

Garcia/Matthysse are smarter than fans give them credit for, and both have stopping power. I got Matts by 10th round stoppage, but this is a 50-50 fight. This wouldn't be a drag-out brawl.

I don't know man. Matthysse just seems like one of them guys that fall in the Luis Collazo category. Good and has all the potential but never quite cuts it. Garcia seems to be a tough kid that is developing each time and that left hook is getting crispier and more accurate on the button. I would lean towards Garcia in that fight. It takes more than pressure and power punches to beat a counter puncher with timing that knows how to adjust.

Hey man....get off the B***$#!t because Roach, Ariza and everyone else on Pac's team said Marquez was going to get smoked in the 3rd fight and that is facts. Don't have nothing to do with "Floyd" or his "fan boys" even Pacquiao said he underestimated Marquez and Roach is now saying that he cannot let Pac take it to a decision because he knows what's up. Majority of Manny fans on here were saying Marquez was going to get KO'd, so stop fronting. Took Floyd one fight with Marquez to show no reason for another fight while Pac is on his 4th..... Straight truth.

Same Floyd with two pounds over weigh? Two divisions lower Marquez?
I know you're supposed to defend Floyd's acts.. but plzzz. I'm a boxing fan, not a fanboy. Cotto was Mayweather toughest fight. Pacquiao destroyed Cotto. And i'm just using your logic.

And, BTW i'm not talking about Roach, Ariza,....bla bla.. I gave MY opinion. I knew that would be a close fight. I don't need to hear Pacquiao, Pacquiao's adviser, Roach or Arum to say it like it is.... Just like you guys believe everything Ellerbe says, Haymond, Floyd..Floyd Sr.. You know how it is!

Wow...people actually think Garcia would beat a Matthysse/Rios? WTF?!

I was thinking the same!

Counter punchers with timing always have the 1 up on brawlers and power punchers. I would figure fans of the sport should know this by now. Power punchers and pressure fighters rely on their aggression but if you put a fighter in with them that knows how to neutralize the aggression with counter punching and timing then the pressure and power punch stats declines (PacVsMarquez). Garcia has a certified pressure stopper that is a left hook that lands accurate with effect. I just don't see how so many people are dead sure that Mathysse would beat Garcia. I just don't see it. Guaranteed Rios fights someone with a lil ring smarts and he doesn't look that dominate.

Garcia in your sign and you're talking about boxing knowledge? You got balls dude. Two victories against a suspect chin and an old and finished Morales and he's already a big thing for you. WTF
