    Lucas Matthysse power at 147

    Lucas wasn't a huge Jww to begin with yet has stopped both guys at 147 including kiram who was a mw by fight night and taylor who was never before stopped.

    One of the last things to go in a fighter is his power obviously lucas still has his.

    He can crack but unfortunately for him so can a lot of the other top guys in that division and they are more skilful with it. I think this 147 run will end as soon as the competition steps up.

      Lucas is a point where fighting those young up n comers do nothing for him.

      Manny or Garcia should be next

          Kiram wasn't a middleweight, don't spread lies. He's been a welterweight his entire career.

          And Taylor moved up from 140 lbs.


          So yes, Matthysse got 2 stoppage wins in welterweight right now but that doesn't mean much. Let's see him in the ring with good fighters.

            Yeah he still has good power but I think he'll have to work too hard to score at 147. He doesn't have quick hands or feet so every big shot requires painstaking work to set it up. After the Postol fight I don't see anyone taking any chances and getting into a firefight with him. They'll jab and clinch and **** him when he overreaches. He has to aim for the shorter guys at 147 because the taller guys will just frustrate him.

                this right here!!! lucas was able to stop that thai fighter because he wasnt as skilled as the other top 147 guys. it was basically a free fight for lucas to shine in there.

                  he has enough power to still hurt/stop any b level and below fighters at 147.

                    Matthysse was also a middleweight on fight night and his opponent was low level with no chin.

                    Matthysse's power has never been in doubt, it's just a question of whether or not he can land clean consistently enough.
