Can we all agree, Lucas Matthysse should be undefeated?

    The fight with Zab was the first time he was facing that kind of competition and the first time fighting in the US. He didn't throw a lot in the first rounds but finished the fight with Zab begging for the end. Even though the fight was close because of him giving away some of the first couple of rounds, i still think that he won a clear decision. A win is a win, it doesnt have to be a "robbery" for people to think that the result was unfair. He should be undefeated.

    Anyway, Lucas learnt a lot from those fights and now he starts the fights very diferently throwing a lot more punches. In a rematch i bet he would stop both of them.

      No, he didn't beat the brakes off of either guy and both fights were close that could've gone either way.

        I hear a fair few say Lucas is overrated. I had him beating Alexander 96-93, I had him beating Judah surprisingly wider than I first thought actually.

        Soto whilst hasn't fought many top 140lb fighters is very skilled and has been avoided throughout his career by some big, big names! That was a 50/50 fight!
        He DESTROYED Soto!

        He then went onto face an undefeated highly skilled southpaw in Ajose, great amateur pedigree. Top 10 rated fighter. Insanely fast, skillful technician with a granite chin and supreme conditioning! He had a few nice wins. Lucas beat the living **** out of him in one-sided fashion yet it was still enjoyable.

        Take into accounts his robberies, solid resume IMO!

        Great pressure fighter who can box, cuts a ring off superbly. One of the best body-punchers in the sport, great chin. Nice jab, sledgehammer right hand, tidy defense. Non-stop workrate since he was robbed.

        Hes not overrated, he is a fcukin' beast and people appreciate his skills and determination to destroy guys and just love his style and attitude.

        WARRR LUCAS!

                  You guys with newly found love for Matthysse (and boxing?), should also know that Judah folds under pressure. He did it in his fight with Baldomir and later against Mayweather, Cotto, Clottey and to some degree against Khan. So eventhough Matthysse pressured Judah he still wasn't able to break him down. And let's not forget that Judah wasn't even in his prime. He was in some gruelling battles prior to that fight. Mayweather gave him a bigger beating and he wasn't even considered a big puncher at 140-147lbs.

                  Matthysse is a great puncher but I want to see him against the best 140-pounders.....not versus a blown up Soto

                    Thought he obviously beat Alexander, who should have a lot more L's on his resume. The Zab fight was close but I wouldn't have a problem with people believing he won that one.

                      He should make 'undefeated' his moniker so everyone knows the truth.
