    I read IB's posts for the very joy of seeing words like "conflate" buried within their prosaic confines.

    Matthysse deserves the hype, no question. I would favor him over anyone 140 or under.

    Well, given that it can be argued that Pacquiao had two primes. The first prime laying down a great resume below 135lbs. Then his second prime (second wind) establishing a very, very good resume above 135lbs.

    I like Matthysse, but I will not get too in to the hype of his victory at the weekend, however impressive it was. His ability has not been tested to the extent of Pacquiao.

    Behave, you don't like Pacquiao, the thread title should have been "I don't know boxing. I am here because I don't like Pacquiao and will do anything to discredit him".

    Conditioning, Matthysse does have very good conditioning.
    Power, Matthysse does have knockout power.
    Right hand, Matthysse does have a right hand.

    Why wouldn't you think Matthysse would knock out Pacquiao? Well, given Pacquiao has been tested at a higher level, given Pacquiao offers a lot, lot more than any other Matthysse opponent has ever done. Given we are talking about one of the best offensive boxers in the history of the sport in Pacquiao. Given...I can go on forever...you're trolling, or you need to watch more boxing, or you just don't like Pacquiao.

    Yeah, because Matthysse is Marquez and Morales combined now. Learn the sport.

    Bradley would beat him if he boxes and doesnt wing punches while getting tagged against the ropes like against Prodomif?????. I'm also not confident in either man's chances in a Garcia/Matyssee matchup.
