Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Hints Matthysse Could Land Pacquiao Next

[about.thousands]

So the ducking of Amir Iman begins already. He's the mandatory to the winner of Postol/Matthysse. If Matthysse wants to fight Pacquiao he should drop the belt if he wins.

Theres more to this fight than what appears on the surface. Just look at thr players involved, TopRank and GBP. Although the WBC oredered this bout i think Oscar may have been pimped by Bob in these nrgotiations and has option on Matthysse SHOULD he win. Matthysse absolutely NEEDS a KO to win if you just look at how Non-TR fighters fair against TR fighters. Just imagine the noise it would make if Postal "upsets" Matthysse...thats a big statement AND Postal is Top Rank...Top Rank IN HOUSE fights...im.thinkn PacPostal for Pacs comeback. Im calling right now, u heard it here 1st

Suicide watch for khan and his 10 nsb fans

10 NSB fans? Wiw thats alot more than what i thought. I thought there was only 2, Flatlinr and Lazakill, who i have yet to see since Khan turned down the Provo fight. I remember Showtime made the proposal to Khan, he was saying sonething along the lines of "wherrs all the posters who say Khans a cherrypicker?" havent seen him since

Khan should pay for his complete inactivity at top level and just hoping for unrealistic big paydays.
I would really love to see what Khan is made of at welter instead of just trying to imagine.
Unfortunately for him his team seem to know !

absolutely i mean what makes him any different seriously? both lose whenever they face top notch fighters they go life and death with journey man brawlers i mean seriously what is matysee biggest win? provo? peterson? come on man i mean im being dead serious and i have felt this way long before the manny fight was a possibility i just dont see matysee as good as others do. Yes hes a good fighter but hes not top of the line type stuff i mean would u put ur money on matysee over berto? Would u put ur money on matysee over any of the other options? i sure as hell think brook and crawford would beat him fairly easy. i dont blame manny for making the fight but lets talk about it like it is its the easiest fight for manny that top rank can sell as a somewhat competitive fight and be able to use the excuses of his injury and getting back on track after the loss they can sell that it will be more entertaining etc etc etc

Pacs not facing anybody outside of TR, pacs still their cashcow and Bob doesnt wanna break that much bread with nobody.

Id put my money on Postal taking a "controversial" decision over Matthysse

Matthysse hasn't won the belt yet, isn't he entitled to a voluntary or a chance to unify?

[SalimShady1212]

Some absolute cretins here, Josesito Lopez manhandled him, Soto Karass stopped him; Floyd hurt him. Matthysse buries him.

imo this a walk thru for pacquioa bordering on a berto type pick i mean think about it matysee has lost pretty much every big fight hes ever been in people over reacted over a couple knockouts from matysee but come on lets not make this something its not and lets not pretend its something its not. To me its pac version of picking berto if u lined all 5 guys out in order from hardest to easiest for pac it would be something like this Brook,crawford,khan, marquez, matyssee. I dont blame him if he picks matyysee but there is no doubt at least imo that hes the easiest pick and i dont see his style giving manny any problems. I think manny shreds him apart but i do think after fighting mayweather manny will want to fight someone who will stand right in front of him and be easy to hit which is not crawford khan or even brook

Brook and Crawford are the toughest I agree but to me next would be Marquez who has proven multiple times he's not an easy fight for Pac then Khan and Matthysse are about equally unlikely to win (for much different reasons).

who is postol with?

[Weebler I]

who is postol with?

Top Rank & another promoter. Probably a similar deal to Marquez.
