Lol at the Mathysse hype, lets rewind back to 2010 shall we......

[miniq]

Start of 2014 both Lucas and Khan will be top of 140

Will Khan have the balls to face Lucas? - unfortunatly yes.

If Peterson somehow beats Lucas then Khan will be jumping for joy.

Matthysse-Peterson is very likely to be the best of all the 140 tournament match-ups. I don't want to be too dismissive of Garcia or Judah, but I think Khan's elite level neck might be the only thing standing between the winner and overall victory.

[PEBBLES!]

Con got KOd in his.

there was more anticipation for Khan-Maidana than there was for Khan-Garcia. and Khan won that fight, so, no.

not sold on matthysse, his career is kinda going like Martinez's, so matthysse needs to brutally stop guys like Judah and Alexander, or he'll always lose decisions

So in other words, he needs to do more than what his opponent is required to do.

How is that fair again?

[yuppie]

Yeah but...he young(ish) doe.

See Matthyse is a good fighter but Lamont is going to wreck this kid.

Lamont PEDerson would still get smoked even with his precious steroids.

[PEBBLES!]

absolutely cannot wait for Peterson-Mythysse (< no typo), especially since i'll be there to witness in person.

After the initial trollfest, this thread has become a semi serious discussion.

Now, I believe like many others here that Mats is a bit too highly regarded. Yes he has power but he also appears somewhat limited, not as much as a pure puncher, but still not what you would call a Boxer-puncher. As far as his fights with Judah and Alexander are concerned. He did fairly well in them but I do not believe he was, as some would like to put it "robbed". They were close fights as far as I can remember, but he did not beat them to the point where it was clear.

His fight with Peterson I believe will answer the most questions. I think Peterson is a much more skilled fighter, he might lack the power but he makes up for it with pressure and tactics. I am going to side with Peterson in that fight, but if Mats is the fighter that some would have us believe then he should win in spectacular fashion. However that is to be seen, and I am waiting intently until does.

yes he has to because unless you beat the sh-it out of your opponent in every single round the fight "could have gone either way"
