Originally posted by RingGeneralship View PostThis is the problem I don't speak in hyperbole , people on this board don't understand how they come off. If a reader was a novice to boxing and came here they're would be no boogeyman stories it would be Lucas stories like he can knock down walls with a jab or knock someone's head clean off. He's good but a little overrated is my point. And to answer your question Garcia is a young and upcoming fighter who is improving and can only get better and having khan and Judah aren't bad for a young champion to have on his résumé .
The problem is that hyperbole guarantees responses. So you get people with "he's a bum" "he kills him in 2 rounds" "coward" etc. etc. Balance is usually not for the internet. My feeling is that it would help if everyone was first a fan of boxing, then of boxers. Of course I have faves; but the order is set.

Yeah I suppose Alexander also beat Kotelnik fairly? Lucas kicked the **** out of Alexander that fight is not even arguable.
This was when he was still raw, his first time at top level & hes clearly come back much stronger is a far more complete fighter then he was 2-3years back.
It makes me laugh how people pick Lucas to lose, he destroys them and makes them look ridiculous then the same people months later call his opponents bums, say he is overrated etc
& he will batter Peterson but I'm presuming you're an ALT and won't nowhere to be found after, typical.

Originally posted by JaguaresMx View PostThat's how I feel about Danny, too, actually; though I'm not sure how much room he has to improve in the long-term; that we'll see. I think its a tough fight if Lucas gets past Peterson. 50-50 for me.

Originally posted by The Weebler II View PostYeah fair enough. I was impressed by Garcia's boxing ability at the weekend, he's a smart fighter, much better than I had previously thought. I'm backing Matthysse to win the "tournament", but I'm much less certain than I was before the weekend.
I'd really like Matthysse to win it. Simply can't get behind a former drug cheat and Danny and Angel both annoy the hell out of me.
All three are definitely talented in their own way though and I wouldn't count out any of them.
