    indeed, but there's also nothing wrong with being a success.

      The one trait that my favorite fighters have in common is their resilience. Matthysse is such an easy fighter to like because he has that blue-collar "I'll let my fists do the talking" approach. He received two unfavorable decisions in foreign territory as a nobody and came back better from it. He's just one fight away from getting a title shot and becoming a major player in boxing. He's also a more intelligent fighter than his style would lead one to believe. I don't think he's being overrated, maybe over-hyped. It's just that Garcia is being under-rated.

        Lucas has dropped every man he has faced...

        Garcia's lack of speed, defence and slow feet = Lucas beatdown.

          I hate tattoos and any form of long hair.

          But Matthysse gets a pass for being me.

            judah is not a success. he fails upward. do you like having things rigged so only certain people can succeed? how about rewarding people based on merit? not cronyism. how many times do we need to see this judah clown? step aside.

              rofl at the bold.

              no tattoos, but i have rockstar long hair. no, i am not joking. it's one of few things that reminds me that in my heart i am still a kid. i'm 10 years older than you, bruduh.

              my picture is in the lounge. they was calling me fat, and i showed them the guns .
              the frogs stopped leaping.


              and everybody in the am boxing circles in scotland knows you as "that badass with the rat tail," so embrace it.

                judah has made a lot of money and has been at or around the fringes of the top for some time now. he came up in boxing with the silver spoon in his mouth. he was billed for some time as the next big thing. in that sense he's very much unlike lucas mathysse.

                but i wasn't talking about zab judah necessarily. there is nothing inherently wrong with being a success. in many cases the best fighters are the most successful. manny pacquiao, wlaidmir klitschko, and floyd mayweather are evidence of that.

                there's a backlash against promotors in boxing on here, stemming mainly from a reluctance of arum and GBP to let mayweather and pacquiao fight. promotors are seen as "the enemy," and the fighters they favor are often seen as such.



                read my posts if you need an answer to the bold questions. i don't intend to be an ******* by saying this, but you won't need to look far.

                  True, my favourites throughout history are Hagler and Frazier, both tough and oozing with blue collar class.

                  Hagler is a little more like me than Matthysse though. Hagler and I share the same hair beard combo and skin colour and plus we both have equally amazing muscle definition.

                    Ever since the age of 8 I had the mental age of 40.

                    I'm like Benjamin Button except mentally and emotionally.

                    But back to being totally serious, I'm going to grow a rat tail so that people will call me that.
