    This is a fantastic showdown and I would love to see how Terence responds to being the lesser puncher...

    Matthysse punches his head in, you can't run from the Terminator.

    Garcia responded well against Matthysse beating him up...being the lesser puncher.

    Question: Did you think that Marquez was the lesser puncher than Pac in fight IV?

    One of the best fights that can be made P4P. Top 10 I'd say. I'd root for Lucas but Crawford may prove to be too much.

    I think that Lucas gets to him and I don't like how he wobbled against Gamboa. Lucas is a finisher and Crawford would have to up his game to avoid the heavy shots coming his way. If he has the power to keep Lucas honest then I will lean to Crawdaddy winning a good fight.

    Can Crawford handle the best body puncher in boxing? I guess we'll see soon enough

    When are people going to realize that Matthysse isn't nearly as good as people make him out to be.

    He's like 3 years past his prime and he's just going downhill. Bud would beat his ass.

    Great fight that I'd love to see.

    At this moment, I'd pick Crawford.

    Matthysse couldn't deal with some of the very basic defensive movements and postures that Garcia brought to the table. I think Crawford would succeed in slowing the pace and countering him well. Late in the fight, Crawford would be the one leading. And Matthysse loses this fight the moment he relies on the counter.

    I'm still trying to figure out what the hell the deal is with Mayweather fans and their obsession with Danny Garcia:huh And their intense hatred of La Machina, the whole thing is patently bizarre.

    Matthysse is around the same age as Kovalev and GGG last time I checked so being 32-33 means nothing


    Crawford is a great talent but he hasn't fought anyone at 140 yet

    On this forum it's just a select few that hate Lucas...
    The mass majority love Lucas Matthysse tho.

    This one is an easy stylistic match-up for Matthysse. He gets the KO one way or another.

    Bud, easily. If garcia can outbox and outwork him so can Bud.
