I'm not buying Mattysse, at least not yet. He's a B+ fighter at this point. Everyone is in awe of his power and KO %, but they overlook his lack of boxing ability and inability to cut off the ring. Yes he can box, buts he's only a B level boxer at best. If you don't agree, explain why he was out pointed by Judah and Alexander who are both only B+ fighters? Yes you can argue he was robbed in those fights and I agree. However, he knocked both Judah and Alexander down and yet they were able to outbox him to make the fights close.
Judah and Alexander both have good movement. Lucas sucks at cutting the ring off. He should have ended those fights but he struggles with fighters with movement. If you don't believe that, watch the first and a half rounds of the fight with Peterson. Lucas was punching wildly that he looked silly at times. He even fell down from overthrowing. A good boxer keeps balance when punching, proving he still needs some work with his boxing. And no, Lucas wasn't looking for the KO that early, as he went on record saying he expected at late KO.
Put him in the ring with anyone with good movement and good boxing skills, ie Mayweather, Bradley, Marquez (although JMMs chin is suspect IMO), and they put on a clinic against Lucas.
Lucas needs to improve his boxing to the A level and cut off the ring, otherwise his ends up as a better version of Maidana with better boxing ability.Comment

Matthysse would move up for that 3 or 4 million dollar pay day in a heart beat, as would most fighters. Matthysse should move up to 147 and get a big win over someone up there so that this fight has to be made.Comment

trust me, he's still a cherry pick for Floyd right now. They are currently trying to straddle the fence so they can have it both ways. I would like for Floyd to come out tomorrow and say that he's not interested in the fight just so everyone can jump on the Floyd is ducking Lucas bandwagon and then sign to fight him next month.
I bet if Floyd comes out now and says he wants Lucas next then you will again hear all the cherry pick stuff. Thats how they work
Much too Much RISK, and we know Our Hero, dose not like RISK!!!Comment
