This content is protected Marquez maybe. But he is probaly retiring after Pac 4 I believe he's easily in the Top 3. just needs to be given the opportunity. Has made every man he has fought either go down, retire or sleep. Edit: Halfway through 2013 and the crown is about to be taken.. Do we all agree yet?
Nope. He has to establish himself as the man by beating all the names like Tim did. Matthaysse hasn't beat a top 140 fighter yet.
Judah? Olug? Soto? Alexander? Would probaly deal with Khan and Garcia Timmy ran off from f'in Khan. 1 fight and he could have been the 140 king. But nope.. Got his ankles broke by Pac
This is why he isn't the true 140 lbs King as he hasn't proven it yet. There is no King at 140 lbs currently.
I'd really like the Judah rematch. It was close as hell. But it's pretty much up in the air right now so no LU is not.
There isn't anyone #1 Khan was the last with the chance and he fluffed it against Peterson and Garcia.
I think Matthysse has improved quite a bit since then. It was the biggest fight of Matthysse's career at that point and a new experience to fight under so much pressure and I think it affected him. He's a more relaxed, composed fighter now though. At this and the Alexander fights, he's now a faster starter which definitely helps. If there was a rematch with Judah and Alexander, I think both get stopped. Judah in around 6 rounds and Alexander in maybe 8 or 9. Matthysse needed refinement when he first fought them. He's refined that raw ability and is now a far superior fighter than he was 2 years ago.
Alexander won't fight him again. Despite bieng pretty decent at 147. Mattysse is a 140 fighter anyway. Alexander ain't going back down.
Bradley took all the belts at 140 beat everyone in the division, to say he ducked Khan is ridiculous on its face. It like the idiots who claim Floyd ducked Margo. What you don't want to say he Tim fought Manny (and won, instead of wasting time with Khan). LOL. Tim was the undisputed king of 140 when he was there. Beat Devon who was #2 contender, beat Peterson #3, beat Holt and took his belt, beat Witter, beat Campbell, and then moved up to fight Manny at 147 the last ring 140 champ. LOL. Khan did what at 140? Beat a Judah on a low blow? barely survive against Maidana. Got beat by Peterson and KO'd by Garcia. LOL
