Comments Thread For: Matthysse Says Welterweight Move Still The Plan in 2016

Adrien Broner or Mauricio Herrera

I'm with Herrera.

Lucas can temporarily go to 147 to fight big names like Bradley and Pac. And if he loss against them, he can go back to 140 or if he wins continue fighting in 147. That is two huge big fight for Lucas with great payday too.

If it's between Herrera & Broner, owing to politics Herrera is the only do-able fight of the two.

I think the ultimate choice will be between Imam, Herrera & Cuenca (assuming Cuenca beats Troyanovsky in Nov).

.... Matthysse's move to Oscar De La Hoya literally results in none of those fights actually being options for him; Haymon isn't going to do business with a man who's trying to shake him down for another payment (after likely already blowing the initial settlement, tbh) and Bob Arum has already shown that, even "with the Cold War ending", he's still not in the business of opening his shop to any outsiders.

All Matthysse has to look forward to, if we're honest, is a fight with Sadam "World Kid" Ali. So let's cut it with the shenanigans.

Matthysse understands that Viktor Postol isn't going to be an easy fight and, if he were to get past that, he's got a "hell on Earth" fight against Amir Imam (a fighter with a style that he's looked terrible against in prior fights, resulting in two defeats and elements of which also led to the Danny Garcia defeat).

He made a business decision, and now he should live with the consequences, being honest with the people about his real options.

Haha dude **** off with your patronizing editorials.

Watch out 147! The only options really are Pacquiao, Bradley, Brook and Rios so I'm guessing he'll look for the big fights or will probably just retain his WBC title.
