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

    They are both good friends and aren't really looking to fight each other even though they would if they had to. No problem doing it, but with good careers ahead of then without having to do it, why do it? They don't have any bad blood between them, argentines sure don't want to see their two best fighters mutuality destroy each other so other than some butt hurt Brit you don't really have that many people desperate to see this fight. That doesn't mean that maybe one day closer to the end of their careers they won't do something., maybe an exibition fight in luna park would be nice.

        They don't have to fight each other. They're from the same country.

          Argentinian boxers are similar to Cuban boxers in regard to fighting eachother. There's so few of them, they rather not fighting each other and create another path. If they get offered crazy money, they would do it. I respect that.

            Incredible isn't it? But you can bet your bottom dollar these same guys would have been ****ting on Ward and Dirrell for not wanting to fight each other.

              How many American fighters are there? How many Mexicans? UK fighters?

              These guys could fight eachother and multiply.

              There's few Argentine and Cuban fighters, so they don't like fighting their countrymen. It's pretty simple.

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.
                this. ive always thought that when people bring up that fight is because they want them to take each other out. they both have many options besides each other

                  That's no excuse. Unless you're blood related, you shouldn't have an excuse not to fight. Boxing is boxing, you earn money by fighting each other.

                    this is what i said at the beginning of this thread, when was the last time argentina had 2 fighters at this level? we don't produce the amount of champions that the US, mexico or puerto rico does for example, we wanna see them success not destroy each other.

                      Boxing isn't a team sport. If they can make good money for a fight against each other, they should do it, especially if it elevated their career. Argentina has a lot of fighters anyway, they aren't Kazakhstan.
