Can we all agree, Lucas Matthysse should be undefeated?

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

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!

oh u mean that unskilled brawlers that everyone overhypes now??listen up kid i already schoold u in my thread that i made about mattesyse losing to judah and alexander and im gonna own u again,the judah fight was not close at all judah clearly outboxed him,landed counters,all the mean while lucas was throwing at nothing but air. similar to pac looking foolish against bradley. now the alexander fight was a bit closer but not even close to what yall speakin on. i had it 6 rounds to 4 for devon. funny tho how the same ppl that are saying robbery are the ones who said floyd got robbed againt castillo,Last edited by STAX ON DECK; 12-18-2012, 06:54 PM.Comment

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 SotoComment

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.Comment
great post's, I agree.
