Which fighters @ 147 give Lucas problems....

[4Corners]

Lucas certainly is not a face first brawler

I already said that was bad word choice on my part, but Manny does well against guys like styles like him. I can't imagine Manny losing to Lucas. Too much speed, too many angles.

Luis Carlos Abregu vs Lucas Matthysse

lol at people claiming guerrero would give him trouble ....thurman could give him fits becuase mofo is BIG for a ww ...p4p, lucas would destroy him ...

how come you dont say that about Floyd-Canelo or Floyd vs anyone at 154-160?

how come you dont say that about Floyd-Canelo or Floyd vs anyone at 154-160?

becuase i already know floyd was going to do what he was going to do even before he did it (create road blocks )... he 's really that predictable ....and tbh , i think floyd beats canelo hands down , i just dont think he'll fight him ...

Pacquiao still gives Lucas problems. Lucas is a come forward, face first, brawler. You need to either have enough power to get his respect or out box him to win.

Mayweather could easily out box him, and Manny loves fighting face first brawlers. Manny has too much hand speed and angles for Lucas. And he can punch.

I doubt manny can take Lucas best punch.

Let's be honest and realistic here. Lucas fought Zab who is notorious for being chinny and never stopped him, he even lost regardless of how controversial anyone thinks it was. Also, Alexander, a fighter who grunts more than he connects punches, also who has no heart and who seemingly quit against a feather fisted Bradley; however, with that said, Peterson was on his way to being a journeyman before he got the controversial win over Amir Khan.

What i am trying to say Lucas shows impressive power at the Lower weights, but he hasn't really been tested and has never fought at welter. Test for me would be against the likes of Garcia, Thurman, even Bradley and Marquez. You can also add Pac in the Mix, oh hell, add Rios in there too, and lets see how it plays out. Damn, i also forgetting Broner! I see this mistake over and over for jumping on guys too soon only to have egg on our faces. Mathysse has plenty of work to do and i hope to god he does them and not fall in love with his power like Mosley, because what happen when he meets a guy with more skills and equal power? I saw him throw a punch, missed and fell. And many time he was off balance throwing, his punches were slow and he left himself wide open. Of course he has potential just like any power puncher, but the game just got real, because he has now enter the playoffs, guys will now come better prepared.

I want to see Guys we think are impressive versus guys we think are impressive. Even though i picked Peterson to win, i felt he would have boxed Mathysse and tie him up when he gets in close, but dude got pissed off by rabbit punches and tried to brawl with a bigger puncher when he himself is known for having a weak chin...how ******?!

Marquez is a great counter puncher so he could be dangerous and Thurman can really punch so he is also dangerous but I think Lucas can beat them after that display of skill and power he put on last night. Guerrero would be an easy win for him. Guerrero likes to slug it out and he would be in with a much better, harder punching, faster, more skilled slugger than himself. Only Marquez, Thurman, Pac, and Floyd trouble him in my opinion. He beats all the other welterweights by KO.

How is Mathysse more skill than Guerrero. Be honest, you only saw Guerrero against Floyd, right?
