    Should Matthysse regret not fighting Peterson at 140?

    He lost his chance at being a world champion, Garcia is pretty much his only line unless he can rematch Peterson again.

    Not really cause I'm sure the rematch is there. The belt woulda just went to Danny anyways.
    At least if they rematch and he wins he gets a belt out of it

        Danny probably can beat Provo too.
        Yea you heard it.... Danny beats him.
        Danny took Matthysse's best punches, he can take this rugged brawler and cut him up

          Still bragging about picking overwhelming favourites?

            Lucas and Ruslan fight 180 degrees from each other in terms of style

            Lucas is a more skilled fighter, but less skilled fighters can use relentless pressure and power to overwhelm more skilled opponents

            Malignaggi vs Hatton, Cotto vs Pacquiao, two fights that come to mind.

            Saying Danny beat Lucas so he automatically > * simply isn't true and is naive and borderline arrogant to suggest it

              It's better to have loved and lost than to not have loved at all. He could've held the belt for a few months, warmed it up and had Danny snatch it from him like the last piece of iguana meat at an Argentine BBQ ... But instead he gets to be in the blue corner for the rest of his career.

                He will have at least one more shot at a championship. He has Haymon now so all he has to do is point plus Showtime absolutely loves Lucas. If he wants he can get a rematch if Showtime and the other sponsors pony up the money for it. Who else at 140 can Danny fight that will bring in revenue for Showtime? Maybe Khan but I thought he was moving up because he was killing himself to make 140. If they make Danny a great enough offer he will have no choice but to give Lucas a rematch

                  If I'm not mistaken it wasn't by choice Lucas fought Lamont at 141.

                    It was, he wanted to preserve his mandatory status at 140 for the WBC. Win or lose would'e affected it.
