    Surprised he isn't mentioned as a potential opponent. Not saying he has a great chance of winning, but given the short list of respectable opponents for Floyd right now I'm surprised he isn't being mentioned at all.

    If he did to Garcia what he did to the other guys he was facing I'd say he would be a cant miss for Floyd

    Lucas is signed with GBP. I can't see Mayweather going out of his way to fight Lucas when Lucas' promoter is suing Haymon.

    Matthysse is still too close to prime for Void's liking. Void only fights top-level guys when they're either green, old, or have been brutally KOd.

    Give it a rest farmboxer.

    Matthysse is as good an opponent as Garcia, Brook, Khan, Thurman or Cotto 2.
    Bradley is the stand out but promotional issues.
    Same with Mattysse. He'd sell as much as any of the other except Cotto.
    He has more chance than any of them to win too imo.

    Your right he should focus on Thurman or rematch the winner of Canelo Vs Cotto

    Keep saying. Lara, Brook, Thurman. Pick one and be done with it. There's no one else given that he won't fight GGG.

    You have that ass-backwards. Gift's post Matthysse foes have a laughable combined 35 KOs in 120 fights. Matthysse left an indelible fear of punchers in Garcia. :deal
