    Vargas, Collazo, Khan, Chaves, Bizier, J Lopez, Bundu, Broner, Algieri, Guerrero, Thurman, Peterson 2...

    Sadam Ali is GBP, so that might be an easy fight to make.

      Another fight maybe against a Jessie Vargas to make sure he's knocked all the rust off. Then someone like a Shawn Porter if possible

        Adrien Broner, Tim Bradley, Terence Crawford, Manny Pacquiao, Amir Khan.

        Basically any of the smaller welters.

        He'd struggle against bigger welters such Thurman, Porter, and maybe even Berto.

          His trainer wants him to go back to 140...But Lucas probably believes he can get a couple big pay days at 147 before he retires. GBP probably wants to put him as the Canelo-GGG co-feature but I think they should have his next fight on ESPN...the Canelo fight is going to do huge business regardless. It would be nice to have a name like Matthysse on the new espn series although I guess that could be hard to work out financially.

            I would bet $$$ that Matthysse destroys Berto who falls over with just the slightest breeze.

              Berto at 147 and then a fight with Bradley, rematch with Garcia, or possibly Khan or Broner at 147.

                  Adrian Granados or Brandon Rios would be a great stylistic match up

                  I don't see Matthysse becoming world Champion at 147 BUT he can be a guy you put on Undercards in exciting matches

                    Sounds like he wants a run at 147, while his trainer prefers 140.

                    If he stays at 147, i think he needs some more adjusting fights to work his way back into things. Someone like Collazo maybe?
