Matthyse has not earned a scrap with Danny Garcia

[.:: JSFD26 ::.]

So how long do you see Matthysse being used as the WBC gatekeeper? I don't see anyone beating him right now. Matthysse is the type of fighter that is made for the highlight reels. It shouldn't be difficult task to market him, so the $$$ excuse doesn't hold weight to me. Put him on the Barclay under-card next to Garcia. IDK who they'd match him up against, cuz I don't think there aren't any notable options that would be available for January. GBP has a thin 140lb stable, so they'd have to make a cross-promotional match-up with the likes of Mayfield/Cuenca/Shafikov/Dallas Jr.

But I don't think GBP cares enough about Lucas to do so. Greed is such a bitch.

1) I couldn't tell you. It's easy to avoid/not make a fight with Ajose cause he wasn't getting US TV exposure. A guy like Matthysse is kinda hard to ignore. It will only be a matter of time before people start DEMANDING this fight (Garcia vs Matthysse).
2) I couldn't really tell you how GBP feels about Matthysse or what their plans are. But I wouldn't say they don't care about him. A perfect example of GBP not caring about a fighter is Lara. GBP has done a better job promoting Matthysse than Lara. FAR better job.

They care enough to make Matthysse/Maidana or Matthysse/Rios, but not Garcia/Matthysse. That would require more sacrifice. Matthysse and Lara aren't #1 priority to GBP, Garcia and Canelo are.

^^^^ lmao this my friend

Matthyse lost to Devon and Zab, and beat a career 135 lber. He does not deserve a shot at the current main man at 140 at all.

When Matthyse actually beats a top JWW, then he deserves a shot.

Plus Soto had family issues.

boxing is not for pu*sies go choose another sport

Sad but true...

You have a right to your opinion but you should know you are one of the only boxing fans in the world that does not think Matthyse earned a tittle shot at Garcia or any other 140 lb champ that will fight him. Most fans thought he deserved to win the fights Judah and Alexander and a poll would show that. He just KOed Soto who was ranked in the top 10 for the WBC 140 lb. tittle. What Soto used to fight at does not matter. When Lucas beat him he was a high rated 140 lb. contender. Ring magazine has Matthyse as the #1 contender for Garcia's 140 lb. tittle, ********* has him at #4, Boxrec has him at #6 and I am sure Boxing Scene has him highly rated as well. I think he deserves all the hype he is getting and if Garcia ever fights him I'll bet a few hundred bucks on Matthyse to win. That's my betting limit and I only bet that much when I am pretty sure who will win.

This right here. Golden Boy don't give a damn about Matthysse or Lara.

They willing to Matthysse in there with Rios because they basically look at it as they have nothing to lose and a lot to gain.

Boxing Scene ranks Matthyse as the #3 challenger for Garcia's tittle. They have Peterson at #1 and Marquez at #2.
