Comments Thread For: Where Can Lucas Matthysse Really Go at Welterweight?

Agree. Not only are there too many belts but belt holders don't defend the title as much.

On the canvas and retire

[Dr.Cool]

He can be an opponent for one of the top wws. In fact, if Matthysse beats this guy like he should, he will have a really good chance at facing Thurman for his tune-up, come-back fight. Not any threat of winning, but people have heard the name before. Vargas is a threat, Matthysse isn't.

Thurman has said he wants a tune-up, which is saying he wants to face someone not that good, that will have very little chance of winning. But preferably one that people have heard of before. Maybe it got pushed back to May 19, to give Matthysse time after his coming fight.

I would like to see him fight Amir Khan at 147

He'd be a gatekeeper at this point. I think a fight between him and Pac or Khan would be a good fight to make. He can cash out on either of those fights. He won't win, but he can give a good showing of himself before he retires. Garcia will beat him just as bad or worse in a rematch. A rematch with Alexander might be interesting.
