How come no one is ever calling for a Mathysse-Maidana fight?

[bojangles1987]

Neither guy has any desire to fight each other. They're longtime friends, if I remember correctly.

They'd fight if they had to, but they don't.

Unless they are brothers like Klits I don't want to here all the excuses that am reading on here. Again the same people rolling out the red carpet excuses would be the first ones to critise an American or British fighter if they say or do the same thing.

LUCAS V MAIDANA!!!

That was me calling for fight

[techliam]

Right now they seem to be going in totally different career directions - Matthysse wants to get revenge on Garcia, and become the 140 champion. Maidana has his direction set on Mayweather, and probably further 147 fights in the future. If they were in the same division I'd be calling for the fight too

I'd love to see the fight though, but it probably won't happen. If they don't want to fight eachother, they won't. It's unsportsman-like and it happens far too often. If their friendship really is that close, then I can empathise with it as boxing has such a big mental factor to it. Same goes for Ward and Dirrel if its the same situation. Id prefer to see the fights though, as a fan of the sport

The fight I wanna see is Provodnikov-Matthysse.

The fight I wanna see is Provodnikov-Matthysse.

That would be a great fight too, I think Matthyse has a lot of fights that can elevate him to the required level. Bradley, Provo, Broner, Berto etc

I think Provodnikov-Matthysse would be this generation's Gatti-Ward.

Even though it's not the same situation?

They ate, slept, and trained together from a young age. Illegally jumped on busses to catch ammy fights. Matthysse gave Maidana his first tattoo.

They haven't declined a fight. They said it makes no sense now. Which it doesn't. How does it make sense right now? Explain to me.

You have Garcia saying he would never fight Broner. Now how does that make sense. Those two have zero connection.

You have it right. They're close friends. They've known each other and trained together for years. Should friends be forced to fight? Impossible to say. I guess they probably shouldn't have to fight. Sorta like the Klitschko brothers deal.

because lucas fangirls would be on suicide watch after marcos pushes his **** in

they still emo bout garcia victory

[WarMaidana]

matthysse gave maidana his first tattoo and they lived together growing up training on the Argentinean national team, they dont want to fight and i dont blame them. Different weights and there are so many other viable and makable matches for both guys. Only people that want this fight are the haters and the guys who fear these two warriors. They want these two to fight to take one out of the picture and to damage each other enough so they are not a threat to their favorite fighters ie. Garcia, broner, floyd, khan etc.
