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

How come no one is ever calling for a Mathysse-Maidana fight? This is a make able fight, I think it should be made.

well for starters they're not even in the same weight class

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.

Martinez, Narvaez, Abregu, Chaves. Argentina is not hardpressed for successful fighters.

martinez is done, narvaez never leaves the country like reveco, abregu and cháves needs to prove themselves.

Yes fighters come and go. In a couple years Maidana and Matthysse will be done too. Before that happens, they should raise their profile by fighting each other and giving the fans an entertaining slugfest.

i wouldn't want this fight personally, only because im a fan of both and don't want the other to lose. But if the fight somehow gets made i would have no problem, it'll be a entertaining fight for all boxing fans, and it'll end the debate on who is better.

[boliodogs]

I love both of them and I don't want them to fight each other in a war that would probably take a little out of both of these great warriors. I would rather they kick ass on all comers separately. There is no reason for them to fight since Maidana fights at 147 and Matthysse wants a rematch with Garcia at 140. You can compare their Broner bashings if you want to know who is better unless Broner backs out of his challenge to Lucas.

They are about 6 years younger than Mayweather and 20 years younger than Hopkins and they take care of their bodies so they will be kicking ass for a lot longer than two more years.

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.

Mike Tyson said it best in this interview...(not the Broken Back bit lol)

(Spinal.)

But anyway, Tyson is American. American's don't have that "I can't fight you mentality". There's a lot of American fighters out there, successful one's. They don't care. Mexicans surely don't care, they really multiply, that's a huge country and boxing is huge there. They can afford to have the Morales vs Barrera's and Vazquez-Marquez, Corrales(Half Mexican)-Castillo type of fights. There's so many of them. The UK too, Frampton wants Quigg, Brook and Khan hate each other, I forget the deal between Haye-Khan-Froch, who hates eachother from those 3, if i'm not mistaken Khan and Haye are friends but they don't really get along with Froch or something. There's of course the recent Froch-Groves saga, DeGale vs Groves/Froch. There's so many fights in the UK, US, and Mexico that they can afford to fight each other and every domestic fight between top fighters in the UK is big. And how much does Froch, Haye, Khan get paid from UK money? Like 5 million euro+? Maidana-Matthysse wouldn't see that much money even in a Mayweather trilogy. Haye got a ridiculous amount of money for Chisora, Froch for Groves rematch also got a ****** paycheck because of the UK PPV rev. You really think Argentina is going to throw that money to Matthysse and Maidana? They did it for Martinez vs Murray, but that was vs UK fighter.

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.

If they can really make good money, they would fight eachother. I highly doubt Showtime is offering those two big money to fight eachother. I think they would fight each other if they get offered like $2-3 million a piece, like big UK fights or US fights. If not, they'll probably wait till they are done at the top to cash out against each other.
