    Does being a power puncher automatically make a fighter the probable winner.

    The reason why I ask this is because people are giving Lucas so much praise that he can beat anyone that is not named Floyd Mayweather 140-147. To be quite honest, I would not overlook Garcia in this one and I am picking Garcia to win. If Quillin fought Golovkin, I would not overlook Quillin but Golovkin and Matthysse are two different fighters in two different weight classes. But Golovkin would probably win that fight. When it comes to Matthysses situation, it is tough to beat someone who always finds a way to win no matter how much power a fighter has. Danny Garcia always finds a way to win and I am eager to see what he will do to win this fight. I don't see how Matthysse wins this fight. I say Garcia will catch him with a left or will technically out box Matthysse.

    Matthysse may be on a hot streak, but being on a hot streak does not mean you aren't a hypejob. Matthysse is a hypejob and it will be known on September 14th.

      The reason why power is brought up so much is because Garcia is so damn easy to hit. Power doesn't mean **** if you dunno how to use it/set it up which Matthysse does. Or if you're opponent is good at taking it away which Garcia is not good at.

        The bold made your whole post irrelevant.

        When have you seen Garcia do such thing?

            Not always, but when the two men in question are both known to **** it out, the edge obviously always goes to the guy with the more powerful punches and the more proven chin. That man in the Garcia/Matthysse fight is Matthysse.

              I favored Bradley over Maidana a few years ago. I still do, of course.

                No power doesnt matter

                I will always take skills over power anyday

                when comparing a matchup always look for who has the better skill set...
                ali-foreman
                srl-hearns,hagler
                jmm-manny
                bradley vs abregu
                floyd vs ortiz
                winky-tito
                the list goes on and on...

                Skills trumps all, there are some rare exceptions like mayorga vs forrest but for the most part you gotta consider skill sets....
                danny has decent skills but he is very flat footed and doesnt possess the movement like a hopkins, roy, or floyd does needed to neutralize lucas's power...

                  And Lamotta/Robinson, and McCall/Lewis, and Rahman/Lewis, and Douglas/Tyson, and Barkley/Hearns, and Margarito/Cotto, and Abraham/Dirrell, and Marciano/Walcott, and Frazier/Ali, and Jones/Johnson, and Ibeabuchi/Byrd, and Ortiz/Maidana, and dozens upon dozens of other examples.

                  "Skills pay the bills" is only true 50% of the time in this sport.

                  Even still, in regards to this topic. Matthysse is the more skilled boxer of the two. He's also the bigger puncher, the man with the better record, and the man with the better chin.

                  I also wouldn't even dream of saying that Ray Leonard was a more skilled fighter than Tommy Hearns.
