Do you think Matthysse can beat any of the top welterweights?

[BIG GUNZ]

Do you think he has a shot against any of the top welterweights?

Basically do you think he can beat Pacquiao, Thurman, Garcia, Spence, Brook, Porter, Bradley or Vargas?

[Mike D]

Maybe Vargas? Honestly I see the rest being favored over Lucas -- with the exception of maybe Brook because I worry about what kind of physical (and psychological for that matter) damage he has suffered from his last two fights...but even then I still think Brook would have a pretty good shot at just out boxing him.

Lucas still has legitimate elite power so he would have a puncher's chance against anybody. But no, it's hard to see him beating the majority of those you mentioned.

He might have a chance with Vargas but probably not.

mytheese isnt a factor at WW.

[.:: JSFD26 ::.]

Vargas and Bradley (yes Bradley) are a possibility. No chance in hell against the others.

[kidbazooka]

Matthyesse beats Porter (who's way overrated ) bradley, Vargas and Brook and has a legit punchers chance against the others.

Matthysse is pretty much done at this point; he's back for a few fights to make some money to retire on, maybe hoping to get a Pac payday.

^^^ ... which is true, tbh...

No. He can't even beat the top jr welterweights. He was always overhyped like most punchers. He was good very good but not great. And even though he was never the top guy only a top guy could beat him. Who ever could take or nullify his power had the ingredients to beat him. In his prime he was hell for anyone but it seemed his prime ended with Garcia. After that The wars with Molina and Provodnikov then after the Postol knockout put the nail in the coffin. Now adays he is just a shell of himself with albiet with punching power.

[Willy Wanker]

He couldn't even get passed Garcia at 140.

Pretty much all the top guys at 147 beat Mattysse.

He's a good, exciting fighter but just limited and now he's past it. And him facing heavier guys won't help.

I think he would have a chance to beat everyone except Spence and Thurman. I'm not saying he beats them but he has chance to win. Vargas is the weakest guy on the list and I favor him to beat Vargas.
