Comments Thread For: Lucas Matthysse Eyes Welterweight Gold, Return in Early 2017

C'mon, the guy is a joy to watch and can box when needed, but fell in love with his power. I welcome Lucas back to the ranks, which are more interesting with him.

As for belts, well that could be a stretch as champs these days tend to place belts in a cabinet and fight ruined/tune up fighters until retirement. Boxing needs fighters like Lucas as he shows nothing but respect for boxing and his opponents, in a nut shell...he is a proud man.

Don't watch, but also don't complain when boxing only has poster boys with managed careers. Lucas has given me enough entertainment thus far to continue supporting him and show the promotors that boxing doesn't just need showmen and ballet dancers in the ring.

Welcome back Lucas

You would rather Lucas retire than go out on his shield, a champion?

Bro, I might be a huge fan but I'm not delusional either. Lucas is done and if he didnt become a champion at 140 then he sure as hell isn't gonna be champ at 147.

And yea, I rather he retires. Why the hell do I wanna see a fighter I like be hurt or ruined?

You guys watch all you want. Im not giving them another viewer count and encourage bull****. I'll catch the fight video once it's posted.

I'm not like some people here who whine about mismatches and what not and still tune in or pay for the network. A year or two ago I didn't support Showtime and canceled their ****. When I don't like something, I let me wallet do the talking. They need us, we dont need them. I can always stream.

We shall see, I wish him the best of luck in his return.

Matthysse, the kind of fighter promoters want to have, doesn't demand huge money even on fights considered tough by others.

He got $500K in the Postol fight. Crawford got $1.21 mil in the Lundy fight.
