WHAT is with the matthysse hype?

[jtcs1981]

Like any other monster puncher in his weight class, he is going to be hype by fan boys.

TS talent appreciation is peculiar. He sees in Ricky Hatton what others dont see, but he cant see Lucas skills set.

I agree, Lucas gets way too much hype for real on this site. Great fighter to watch but the 2 times he's stepped up in competition he lost. Yeah you can say that he was robbed (he wasnt) but even in the Judah and Alexander fights he wasnt this destroyer y'all make him out to be and he wasnt dominanting either one of them.

He definitely deserves a title shot in 140 he's earned that, but he's not this God a lot of y'all make him out to be

exactly how i feel

The only hype I have heard for matthysse is that many believe hes the most dangerous fighter at 140. I havent heard any outrageous stuff from fans so I am not really sure were this is coming from.

so u clearly have no read prvious pages in the thread?



and the alexander a judah "robberies" where nothing compared to lara williams or pac bradley
that i could understand

There are fighters who are nothing but hype. Mattysse is not 1 of those fighters. Some people don't understand just how hard it is, to be virtually unknown, brought under the big lights in the US as an (opponent), for someone on the comeback like Jab Judah & get getting a fair shake.

Both his losses are political. Cause neither Alexander, nor Judah beat Mattysse. He's earned every accolade given to him. To make a thread about him & hype is crazy, considering there are in fact fighters who've been given titles & bogus defenses while being called the 2nd best in deep divisions even though they've never, ever beaten any prime top fighters there. Mattysse is not 1 of those guys.

I think it's a little harsh to call Matthysse a "hypejob". The guy delivers every time he fights even in "defeats" and is working his way up the hard way. Oh and btw, he's not fighting buncha irrelevant bums like a lot of these guys nowadays.

what the hell does ricky hatton have to do what this ? u have no idea what my thoughts on hatton are

I've read he'd knock out Pacquiao, Marquez at 147 and is a better fight for Floyd than Guerrero. Peterson has zero chance against him, Garcia is ducking him[although Garcia himself just blew up], he was robbed against Judah although it was a close fight that I had Judah winning by one point and most sensible fans agree it was just a close fight.

This guy is the most overrated fighter right now, surpassing Golovkin.

Putting his in-ring accomplishments aside, the dude is chill. He makes no outlandish claims; he simply wants to fight for a belt.

In-ring, I don't see how you can deny he has skill; he's surprisingly elusive, has a solid chin (someone link that video of him grinning after getting smashed by a Judah upercut), and clearly has power (Alexander/Judah debates aside, he still knocked them both down, fair and square, no foot-stepping-push-tripping ****).

Actually, someone needs to make a gif of it. I'd love to sig that.

As ****m says, "If you can punch you don't need no tassels on your shorts."

Matthysse does it all in the ring, no need for any clowning outside of it. There is no 'hype' around him because he doesn't stir it up. All the respect and attention he's got, he's got it in the ring.

A lot of posters on sites like this aren't very knowledgeable though and they can't get excited about someone unless he's raps terribly, beats his wife etc.

They're not really watching for the boxing.

Those same guys who say Matthysse is a hypejob will tell you his just another face first brawler.
