i know you dont like manny, but for you to sit there and say lucas is a bum? lol.. now i know lucas is not an ATG but you're trying way to hard here to discredit him here.
you made your point when this fight first got announce that you're not interested in watching 2 over the hill fighters so lets just leave it at that.

I have said Lucas is over rated for years, not just because he is signed to fight Manny. Now even if you think Lucas is great, his most current fight was a dismal performance against an extremely weak opponent that made many think the opponent was paid off to take a dive. It was a terrible fight, or am I making that up?
You and every other poster that disagrees with me has yet to address my point about Lucas last fight.
I did leave it at that-and then got quoted today and responded.

What I took issue with, which simply can't be justified, is that Andre Berto is a better fighter than Lucas Matthysse.
That is just silly

Originally posted by The Big Dunn View PostWTF? Seriously dude I know you don't really like Floyd but this is utter BS. Lucas is a ****ing bum, always has been. He is the most over rated guy on NSB. He's never been better than Berto-and I agree with you that Berto should never have gotten that fight with Floyd.
How can you call him a champion? he was gifted a BS regular title that isn't real in any way shape or form. You know this and have often been critical of fake titles like this.
IMO this is a crap fight. it may turn out to be a great fight and I will admit it if I am wrong.
I also agree that I am not sure Manny is Roy level washed yet. I wouldn't pick him against any elite WW but I think he still has enough to beat a jobber like Matthysse.Originally posted by Cheek busting View Postnot saying this isn't a pointless fight, and well past it money grab - but "Lucas never being better than Berto"?
That's a joke, right?
Lucas fought tooth and nail and lost a razor thin decision against a top 15 P4P guy in Danny Garcia. Should have gotten the rematch but didn't.
He literally destroyed a tough contender in Lamont Peterson in what? Under 5 rounds?
LOL Berto got both eyes swollen shut by a blown up 135 pounder Robert Guerrero; got beat up by a ghost for 12 rounds!
berto then got outgunned by JOURNEYMAN I can't even remeber his name? Soto Karass - in the 12th round.
It's not even close - Lucas is currently, even at this stage, and has ALWAYS been a much better fighter than Berto, and it's really not even up for debate.
Talk about gifted titles - you should check out Berto's rise to the top..
I honestly can't believe a semi-respectable poster like you is claiming Berto is better than Lucas.Originally posted by WallabeeKing View PostI stopped reading after this. Berto wouldn't say this himself.Originally posted by E-Thug View PostYou my man Dunn and I know you hate Matthysse because of his fanbase back in the day but Matthysse would annihilate Berto. Berto is a sitting duck for power shots all night long.
Hell, Peterson is a eons superior fighter than Berto yet looked what happened to him
