What the Differences Between Adrien Broner and Lucas Matthysse Say About Boxing

[The Big Dunn]

Were not comparing the losses of both fighters buddy, were talking about the consistency of the level of opponents. After Broner loses he has two or three fighters against the likes of Emmanuel Taylor and Carlos Molina and gets a title shot vs an inactive guy coming off a loss whereas Luxas has said he wants to return against a top guy. Molina an Ortiz were the best guys he was offered by Haymon and he complaining saying that he felt they were not at the top level.

Back to your question, Broner was a big favourite and was the one who rejuvenated Chino's career. He also made Porter make 144 and Porter was coming off a bad performance vs Bone and a loss vs Brook. DSG was also the underdog but also the lineal champ on top of the world and Postol was the number 1 for A reason. All 4 are very respectable.

Broner has taken tough fights. So has Lucas. Broner lost fights, so has Lucas. Lucas has fought and defeated better people at 140 than Broner has. Broner has gone up in weight, Lucas has not.

This weekend Broner's title fight was easier than Matts title fight. No question. While politics in the sport is an issue, the far bigger problem for Matts is the things he lacks and his inability to defeat top tier fighters.

I guess we will have to see once broners path is finished but it would also be okay to just congratulate broner for winning and move on instead of saying, "yeah he won but lucas career is way better". for some reason the writer of this article along with a lot of posters here REFUSE to just do this. somehow they are trying to get everyone to ride with the guy who lost and quit over the guy who won because the guy who lost has always fought the best but came up short?

but at least the writer acknowledged that to be a champ at any division u at least have to be a good fighter... this seems to escape the minds of a lot of these posters who think anyone who loses or struggles in a professional fight with another professional fighter is a bum and u can be a bum and a champ at the same time...

Good post, anyone who EARNS or even wins a title shot does not deserve to be called a bum; extremely ignorant and disrespectful.

What's the bigger accomplishment, losing to Muhammad Ali or beating Butterbean?

I'll wait.

On second thought I won't, we know some of you guys are a little slow.

Mattysee gets more props for reaching the upper echelon of the division. Broner doesn't because he's not fighting the best and hasn't made it to the top.

Very good post.

Being #2 in the Major league is still better than #1 in the minor leagues.

Placing Silver in the Olympics is still better than getting Gold in a Regional Tournament.

But really lets stop comparing the two one is a prize fighter (Lucas) and the other is a side show (Broner).

Neither beat or lost to any fighters on that level. So your extreme example is ****** and doesn't relate to either fighter.

I'd break the bank to bet on Lucas against Broner, but we all know that would be too dangerous for the 4x 'champ' to even take the fight.
