Lucas Matthysse Master Thread

[PurePugilist216]

He might not beat Floyd but he does a hell of a lot better that Guerrero did.

I don’t think so, Guerrero is more versatile and is a southpaw and longer, he can fight on the inside and out and has a great chin and Floyd dismantled him, I can’t see how Mattysse can do any better.

Hardly a "flavor of the week." Plenty of more sensible NSBers have been behind Matty since a long while ago...I hopped on the bandwagon a bit later after the Ajose fight (which made me a fan of both guys, really). It's just that he got another opportunity to prove himself against a top fighter and did so in, what's the HBO cliche..."emphatic fashion?" Yeah, that phrase might actually be accurate in this situation.

If he's managed properly he can become the next Pacquiao in terms of excitement but if they're going to move him up they could ruin him.

Let him rule 140, plenty of fights there.

Lucad beats pqc and may today.

The Garcias are quiet as hell

Seriously I've been looking for an interview from that loudmouth Angel Garcia but there is nothing to be found....

[PurePugilist216]

Yeah this is pretty much the case, but understand, since Manny was desolated there's been a concerted effort to diminish Mayweather and find his next destroyer.

Lastly, it isn't a "hype train," its a "anyone other than Mayweather train." Floyd's haters will anoint anyone with a pulse.

Well said, and I am no fan of Floyd but at least I’m honest, that fight would be so boring vs Mattysse then people will want the Canelo fight.

But I am sticking to “hype train” GGG and Bute were never made to be the next Floyd destroyed but everyday after a fight of theres these guys were considered to be the greatest.

Even Matinez who I like, but after his Chavez win people were actually claiming he would beat or give prime James Toney a lot of trouble along with any other middleweight in the history of the sport, Thats hype haha

he is the next sergio martinez

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.

What? Check resumes between Trout and PEDerson bro. Wasn't Trout dropped and/or stopped in the AMs?

Who were the last big punchers Mayweather faced on an Alvarez/Matthysse level?

Can we agree on this much, Alvarez and Matthysse have unusual power?



Matthysse would hurt Guerrero imo. Michael Katsidis hurt Guerrero, so did Floyd.



I don't like the idea of Matthysse moving up either.



Which brawler are you going to put him in with, Maidana?



Based on what? The Canelo fight should be next.

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.
