Lucas Matthysse Master Thread

[PurePugilist216]

Trout is much better than anybody that Matthysse has been in the ring with. I don't even agree that Canelo looked like sht. Sure it wasn't a flawless performance, but I was impressed with his power, timing, and defense. Obviously he needs to work on his conditioning and punch output though. I just haven't seen any justification for all of this Matthysse hype. He has no shot to beat Mayweather at this point, it would be boxing lesson. Canelo would get a lesson too, but at least he has the size and strength to maybe negate Mayweather's skill advantage.

Its funny, Canelo’s first big step up people are saying he didn’t look good he is hype, Mattysse close lost to Zab, “Mattysse’s first step up fight give him a break” His fans are getting worse then Floyds, and Pacs.

Quote from the man himself.

There's no contest if you base this purely on resume (and really, what else is there to go off of at this point?). Golovkin still hasn't fought anyone truly worthwhile (maybe Rosado? maybe Proksa? Ouma?)...Matthysse may have "lost" to Alexander and Judah, but he put both of them down. An old Soto is still on par with the majority of GGG's resume, and this latest KO of Peterson really seals it up to me.

Put it this way...GGG's been expected to dominate the majority of recent competition, whereas Matthysse v Peterson was expected to be far more competitive. Did anyone really expect Ishida to NOT get knocked out? Sure, he arm-punched Kirkland in one round, but Kirkland was coming off a series of back to back fights (if I remember correctly) and is known to be a bit of a hype job himself.

You're not entirely wrong, but Golovkin is clearly the goods, regardless of who he's fought. Footwork, timing, power, chin, the guy's a monster with outstanding technique.

From last month

Screw last month. We're want something from after the fight.

Has Garcia tweeted anything? I know after Lucas KOed Dallas Jr he tweet something like "I ain't scared of nobody" or something along those lines. Then he proceeded to having a thumb injury.... or rib.

Maidana, Provodnikov, Ortiz, Lopez, Rios and Alvarado can’t get made but these are guys that really determine his will, power,heart and chin, not Alexander who got beat better by Kotelnik, or Zab who did way better then he should have in that fight.

Matthysse would hurt Rios and Alvarado. Provodnikov is too limited and easy to hit.

Ortiz, Lopez and Maidana are good opponents but you're talking about 147lb fighters, there's no way of telling if Matthysse's power and punch-resistance carries up.

Agree.


There's been plenty of naysayers for a while who think "Mattysse is overhyped/overrated" which is a clear indication he's had his share of vocal supporters for some time now.
