    Well it's irrefutable that all of the names mentioned in the opening paragraph including Paulie have been world champions/multiple time world champions.

    Matthysse has never sniffed it, ever.

    He's fallen short every time he's had that shot at a world title, not confident picking him against any of those men in a world title fight.

    I'm not sure, the version we saw Saturday was in with somebody who had lost 2 out of his last 4 and isn't exactly a big puncher, I'm not knocking LM's performance, it was solid.

    Also we can't forget Postol knocked out LM, Broner can dig, Broner is a solid lump, Maidana might have dropped him a couple of times but he got up and dug in and did show he has heart and a decent chin.

    It would be a good fight, I just think if Broner was in great shape and focused he would be a handful because LM can be hit, outboxed and knocked out, we've seen it happen before.

    styles make fites. the only style that gives him fits in jessie vargas and jessie can beat him

    lucas would hurt berto and khan ill just say that.

    porter vs lucas would be a barn burner and i think wins that slug out as well.

    i i think he beats bradley as well. lucas can come in and beat all these guys .

    Lucas KOs Broner, Khan, and Thurman (to the body).

    Jessie decisions, maybe stops Lucas.

    Bradley decisions Lucas.

    Porter decisions Lucas in an ugly, ugly fight.

    we will see what his come back trail is. he can compete and has power to ko anyone. he can beat any of these guys. stylistically jessie vargas is a nightmare for him.

    but all those other fights can go his way.

    He has a chance against anyone because of his devastating power.

    He will probably ko Vargas. Vargas is slow. The others I have to wait and see.

    He can probably beat Vargas, Broner and Khan. The others I doubt.

    Beats them all imo with the exception of Bradley and Porter.

    Porter I'd have favourite 60/40 as you've already said and regarding Bradley it's how much left he has in the tank....as too with Matthysse....50/50 imo.

    I'm a massive Matthysse fan but I can't see him beating Brook or Spence.

    I think Matthysse loses to Porter but beats everyone else. Bradley is finished
    and burnt out, Berto never really was that good, Vargas is woefully overrated and I
    think Matthysse could outbox Vargas. Broner, it's odd, if Broner actually trained and
    focused, he'd be a hard out for anyone, but he's not going to do that and I think
    Matthysse pounds out a decision.
