Matthysse cant box for shlt. The guys foot work is god awful, horrible balance, he's slow, and throws looping punches that leave him open to counters. You people think he's this superb boxer that cant be touched. Also, his game planing is garbage too. Example, going into the Judah fight Matthysse was 27-0 with 21 KO's yet his game plan was to target Judahs body. Finally, when he decided that wasnt working he started to move away from the body and he had success, but it was to late.
I don't see how coming into his first big step up in competition against a dangerous (by reputation) opponent like Zab Judah boxing cautiously on the outside and going to the body is bad game planning...
It actually shows a high level of maturity, considering the majority of his fights at that point were against lesser opponents in Argentina... After all those early knockouts, you'd think he'd come into this fight with too much confidence, and wind up getting caught with something
And don't forget the most important thing, he made an adjustment in that fight, as you said... Started off slow, but ended more aggressively (in your opinion it was too late, but most people had Matthysse winning)
What about that seems like an unprepared fighter with no intelligence? Baring in mind that was 2 years ago
I like how you guys claim that Matthysse's fans view him as a god but that they are also somehow terrified that he's going to lose. Little bit contradictory.
Yeah, and Roy Jones Jr. was officially a silver medalist. Welcome to boxing.
Not at all. It speaks to the fragile/false perceptions they harbor. It is entirely possible to worship someone and fear they will be taken away from you.
Remember, I already spoke to you about being "confused." Only Columbo can pull that off and come off looking brilliant while doing so.

Soooo.... losing to Judah, is a sign of maturity?
Did you ever think maybe that uppercut had something to do with Lucas not being able to take Judah out? Or are you going to spin his LOSS as a positive thing e.g. "Maturity?"
Are you implying that his "adjustment" was to not KO judah and lose enough rounds to lose the fight?
Sooo, you mean he is NOT a machine? That somehow Judah how got humiliated by Khan, represented a "dangerous" fight to Lucas but a Young strong kid like Garcia is NOT a dangerous fight for Lucas??

It's not possible to look at Matthysse as a god in boxing and then also be terrified that he's going to lose. That's known as a contradiction, they're mutually exclusive.
You guys speak as if Matthysse fans underrate Garcia while overrating Matthysse, both to supposed insane extents. Then you say that they're terrified that Garcia is going to win. That does not compute, not in English.

I can only dumb it down one more time for you and I believe I was quite clear the first time around.
It is ENTIRELY possible to CLAIM Matthysse is a god and yet, in the recesses of one's MIND, harbor fears of said "GOD" being smashed to shet.
If this is still tricky for you, then perhaps your command of the English language, does not allow for you to "compute" beyond that which you have already shown me.
Keyword: DENIAL.
One has to lack the ability to see beyond the false bravado and the false claims of Matthysse being "god." I see beyond rhetoric and I am adept at recognizing desperate attempts at willing a victory when deep down, they know this is not a cakewalk for Lucas.

Hey, I'm glad you changed your mind. Before you were all claiming that Matthysse fans are delusional and that they overrate him horribly. Now you're saying that they're only pretending to believe those things. It's a really weird concept and I don't know where you get it from but at least it's not a blatant contradiction now.
I know this sounds like a quip but I mean it sincerely:
Spend less time analyzing other people's minds and more time analyzing your own.

It's more fun to pick you apart. Your "confusion" and timid approach is slowly but surely being coaxed out into the light.
You seem to think "delusional" as per their own admittance /position/perception...I speak from MY perspective and thus deem them DELUDED. It is ONCE again, entirely plausible that they can harbor BOTH, a deluded sense of Lucas' abilities while at the same time, harbor a deep seated fear of his being brought down to earth. Am I clear enough yet?
THIS is why they work overtime in the hopes that if they merely repeat how unbeatable Lucas is, they can WILL it to be.
Let me know if you are still confused. I think the only confusion is you assuming you could sneak cowardly comments in from the crowd, in the hopes that you could elevate your status as a "thinker" at my expense. By now you have realized your sad miscalculation.
Reset and come at me from a wiser position because I am smacking the shet out of you while choking out 3 other posters with my good hand.
Hey Superman, you have been on that stool for over an hour now. Get up! Don't give in bro, that was just the jab. Hold up, is that stool padded?
Sorry I had a job to go to and friends to hang out with during the day
Anyway, you're mother sucks cocks in hell, you were the result of a 20 man gang ****... No one knows who ur father is
You literally spend 14 hours a day playing with yourself on the internet, I think its safe to assume that, in you mid 40's you still don't have a job and live in your whore mother's basement, as she pays the bills by letting poor crack heads fuck her for pennies
Now, you're begging me to "get off the stool" which in grown up talk means "please don't stop playing with me, I'm so lonely and don't have any friends in real life... This is all the daily human interaction I get
I exposed you in 3 different thread... This makes 4
