    I would be OK with the fight. 140 to 147 is not much of a jump and I think Matthysse is as good as anybody that fights at 147. Most of the top 147 pounders fought at 147 not long ago. Pacquiao, Marquez, Bradley, Broner, Alexander, Guerrero and Maidana all came up from lower weights.

      chance for floyd to become lineal mw champ it's a stretch and i doubt it happens but i think floyd will go for it just in my opinion.

      mattyshe needs a fight at 47 before fighting floyd in may, i think floyd vs serg in may and mattyshe vs floyd in sept i doubt it plays out like that but it might.

        Matthysse is a harder sell so Mayweather may opt to face Khan instead if he gets past Alexander.

        Matthysse vs. Mayweather would be a hard sell???? Come on I'll tell ya what it would definitely be easier then it was selling May vs. Guerrero that's for sure

            Would be a harder sell than Garcia I said. Debatable - Matthysse doesn't speak English and he doesn't have a massive following apart from online.

              Sergio still owes HBO fights so it's not going to happen I don't think

                Maybe.. Both huge fights however, I think we can both agree on that. Speaking english isn't a MUST but it does help.

                  I agree with this to the fullest.....nothing left to prove at 140 for the winner

                    I would give Mayweather credit for fighting Matthysse. They put Matthysse on the undercard because there will be more eyes on Mayweather vs Canelo than there would be if Matthysse and Garcia held their own card. And it's the right kind of eyes too. Casuel fans that dont really watch boxing. So i they preform well both Garcia and Matthysse would be an easy sell as Mayweathers next opponent.

                      Seems like Matthysse has the power to go to 147 and lose to Floyd. I say go for it.
