    I like Matthysse but he would lose to the likes of Thurman, Brook, Spence, Garcia & Pac but how does he go against the following?

    Porter
    Berto
    Broner
    Vargas
    Bradley
    Khan

    I think he'd have a shot to beat all of them I'd say, but the toughest fights would probably be Bradley, Vargas and Porter.

    I think he beats Khan, Vargas and Berto and I think he loses to Bradley and Porter.

    Not sure about Broner, that all depends on what Broner turns up.

    This version of Mattysse beats every version of Broner.

    I reckon that Matthysse v Porter would be a great fight I favour Porter 60-40 but I reckon Mattysse is capable of hurting Porter when he rushes in. Thurman & Brook are more skilled and are good punchers so they were able to outbox Porter but I think that Matthysse has more natural clubbing power and is capable of hurting Porter when he rushes in head first.

    Have to give Matthysse time to develope at his new weight, but he will still be a very dangerous fighter for anyone..........

    Styles make fights, and matthyse can be outboxed by B+ boxers , aka losing to a past prime zab,

    Anything can happen, but he will struggle too plow through the B -level fighters, he was stopped by light hitting Postal, his heart is made of glass. His eye now seems to be fine

    Mattysse has been in absolute wars. Postal didn't do anything to him that he hadn't experienced in the first 30 seconds of his previous fights. With him looking pretty good in his comeback fight it's looking more and more like his quit job against Postol was more about concern over his immediate health than his inability to take damage and keep going.

    Loses to all of them, possibly against Paulie too.

    I'd give him a chance against Berto. He loses to the rest.

    Fair enough I would like to see him return to 140 he would be a better chance to win a title once Crawford moves up. Imagine Matthysse v Lipinets at 140.

    He beats Berto and Broner.

    He loses to Bradley, Porter, and I think even Khan.

    He could beat Vargas but I could see that being a competitive fight where his eye maybe gets messed up again and all of a sudden he's in deep trouble.

    He beats Berto and Bradley easily, they're shot. He loses to Porter, he's a bigger, better version of Provodnikov, I think Vargas is too tough for him, and Broner and Khan could go either way. I take Broner slightly, and go against Khan slightly.

    People say Broner has no chance, but Lucas has allready lost to Postol, Alexander and Judah who are on Broner's level.

    I think that Broner v Matthysse is an excellent fight, both are not natural 147.
    Broner has a good chin and if he is on his A game he could pull it out.
