Comments Thread For: Matthysse: A Fight With Pacquiao Would Be My Goal

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Lucas Matthysse (37-3, 34 KOs) is hoping that a victory over unbeaten Viktor Postol (27-0, 11 KOs), scheduled for October 3rd at the StubHub Center in Carson, California will catapult him into a major pay-per-view fight with Manny Pacquiao in 2016.

The fight with Postol, with the vacant WBC junior welterweight championship at stake, will be televised by HBO.

Matthysse's fight earlier this year with Ruslan Provodnikov is regarded as one of the better fights of 2016. He expects another Fight of The Year candidate with Postol. [Click Here To Read More]

If the choice is between Khan, Crawford, Brook, or Lucas, then Lucas would be the better choice for Manny. I think the other three will give Manny major problems, but Lucas' style is better suited for Pacquiao, and Lucas will not argue about fighting @ 144! It's Lucas or Crawford, and if I'm Roach I would choose Lucas @ 144!

crawfords skills are off the charts and even getting better. pac needs to stay away from him. the other 3 khans chin is weak.pac blows him away.brook is nothing special but better than khan. mathysse has some serious power and is very capable of knocking pacquiao out cold.

PAC on his worst day still beat these guys. An over the hill knocked out PAC still beat Rios, Bradley, Algeri, and Roid Armstrong(instant replay don't lie).

Matthysse would be an exciting fight and yes Crawford would run rings around pac, khan should never be mentioned with these names he's never beaten any top level fighter and has no chin.
If Crawford fits the weight he could be the man.

Crawford is the most likely foe, he is top rank and the future investment of hbo, i mean look he won fighter of the year and i thought there were more deserving fighters. They are really trying to push crawford. Pacquiao will be that stepping stone for him, once he knocks out pac a new star has been passed the torch.

Lucas is a very bad choice, he is the best boxer puncher combo of the argentine fighters and he has an iron chin, if rudlan couldnt knock him down and ruslan hits harder than manny, how can manny hurt him? Also lucas grazing shots are powerful he can knock pac out cold, and that fight only benefits goldenboy, unless arum can make oscar give him options on mattysse.

Lucas is strong, but I think Manny could outbox him. I don't think Manny could outbox Crawford, and I don't think Manny will get a lot of credit for beating Crawford, just like Floyd doesn't get credit for beating Canelo. People will pay for Pacquiao vs. Matthysse, I know I would! We're jumping ahead of ourselves because I don't think Postol is a push over, so if Lucas gets distracted he might lose focus and lose a chance for the big one!
