What has Lucas Matthyse done to make him an elite fighter?

[ma51f]

Lucas is a true warrior...

Got that one punch knockout ability

Got power in both hands

Solid chin

And good all around boxing skills

Easily the best 140lb fighter

Instead of creating a straw man argument to indirectly favor the fighter you support, let's just agree that Garcia/Peterson/Matthysse are on the same level and let them fight it out to see if one can separate himself from the pack.

That guy has abnormally small hands reminds me of that burger king commercial.

How dare you make sense?!? This is NSB, if you don't like a fighter, THEY SUCK!

I can tell y'all one thing, those guys who keep talking about and thinking the hype or Matthysse's signature win comes from the Dallas Jr fight have never seen Matthysse fight before. AND definitely never watched the Alexander or Judah fight.

What has Garcia done to be elite?

Zab Judah - Ranked 4th at 140
Erick Morales - WBC Champion ranked in the top 10
Amir Khan - Ranked 1st at 140
Nate Cambell
Kendal Holt

Thats a solid resume for a 25 year old kid.

In reality it's both. Dallar JR was chinny and isn't a great fighter but Matthysse can box his ass off too judging by the Ajose and Soto fight, he pretty much adjusts to any style. IMO Danny and Matthysse are similar in many ways but Matthysse is stronger and has great stamina. They're speeds are about the same though. I gotta admit, Garcia looked a little bit quicker on saturday but not by much. I don't think he'll get any quicker than where he is now.

Agreed. But lets not act like the majority of posters on here don't d ride Mathysse to no end. Mathysse beats everybody @140 by brutal ko and garcia can't hold his jock strap is the response you would get from 80% of the posters on here. Most people who "defend" garcia myself included aren't even saying he would definitely beat Matt's they are just saying its not a foregone conclusion that he would lose.

There it is... Garcia is an elite fighter. I guess that makes Broner elite too.
