How big was the Matthysse win to D Swift's legacy?

I belonged to the party who thought Matthysse would run though Garcia... It's fair to say that he held his own and that fight was more or less even until the swelling became too much, Garcia boxed well but he fouled far too much for my liking... Many illegal lowblows, a point should have been deducted much earlier. Garcia definitely derailed the Matthysse hype train a bit... A rematch for me is needed, because I think without excessive fouling, and excessive swelling blocking Matthysse's vision that the fight would have been much closer. A good win for Danny, but not without controversy, he didn't prove to me and many others that he was the better boxer.

 

Also the knockdown shouldn't have counted.... Bad reffing in that fight, atrocious actually.

 

Proved the naysayers wrong to a degree, but he didn't prove to me at least that he's the better fighter... I would like to see a rematch somewhere down the line, if mean if you're going to give Morales a rematch then Matthysse definitely deserves one.... Should both win their next few fights then i'd like to see a rematch with better officiating. If Garcia wins the rematch then he's proved beyond reasonable doubt that he's the better boxer :deal

 

Yeah with his personal ref who allowed him to low blow and saved him when he was on ***** street

 

I thought Matthysse would take his head off. Garcia proved he's a much better fighter than myself and probably a lot of others gave him credit for.

 

That was an excellent victory for Danny, by far his biggest win of his career. He beat the universally recognized #1 JWW contender, who most thought was going to walk through Swift inside of 6 rounds.

It doesn't look like Danny has any troubles making the 140 limit, I know he's mentioned in recent interviews he'll be moving up to 147 after 1 more fight following the Herrera fight at 140, but if he can make the JWW limit comfortably, I'd rather see him just campaign there and become a longstanding champion there kind of in the same mold as Hopkins was at 160 lbs.

He should try and become the kingpin of the division at JWW. At 147, he'd be just another one of the many guys in the mix for a title.

 

Enormous since it was a gift decision for Danny the Showtime house fighter against a foreigner. Lucas was outboxing Danny both before and after his old injury got aggravated. But Danny won't be that lucky every fight, so in the future this will always look like a huge (unearned) victory for him.

 

Simply his best win to date easy.

As a fan of Matthysse I have got to show respect to Danny for that win. I honestly think a rematch was warranted due to the competitiveness, entertainment, and the injury, but aside from that Danny did more to win on that night. And proved a lot of us wrong. He deserves a lot of credit.

I'd still favor Matthysse in a rematch, but only slightly.

 

Big big win, if he beats 2 or 3 top WW then he is in the HOF IMO.
