Lucas Matthysse seems overrated on paper

who even says matthysse competes with mayweather?

 

On paper maybe, but if you look at his las three fights you may come up with a different opinion.

 

people like matt because he brings action fights hard, is a humble quiet guy with this certain killer instinct few have. all his fight are quality, yet he might not have floyd talent, but his fights are more fun to watch.

 

You base your assesment on having watched one losing effort and then comparing that to some other fight? Yep, that should work.

 

believe me or not but Matthysse is the real truth at 140. Back then he was more patient in fighting ( judah and alexander fights ) and because of that, those fights looked as close fights. Right now Lucas bullies and tries to put constant punishing pressure in all rounds cuz he knows that if he don't stop his opponent, he won't get the decision in USA, regardless if he wins clearly the majority of the rounds.

Wait his fight against Pederson and all his doubters will have an answer. Matthysse is a strong-boxer puncher with iron chin, iron will and good ring IQ.:yep

 

Can you explain how you think bradley is not an elite fighter he has a very good resume and is still undefeated ?

 

You "heard" the Judah fight was a close fight?

Don't just peek at the record, watch the man for ****'s sake. That will answer your questions and you can make your own judgment.

Bradley is not elite? He has the best resume out of anyone at 140. Peterson, Holt, Alexander, etc. Matthysse managed to drop him where Bradley couldn't.

Nobody seriously considers him a thread to Floyd. But they do consider him a threat to Peterson and Garcia and Khan, the other big names in the division.

 

How in the hell is Bradley not an elite fighter?

 

people always hype the puncher. its always been the way and that wont change

 

More like people were wrong about Garcia. Matthyse fought well; Swift fought just a bit better.

 

Judah was a close fight, to me, though I thought Lucas won it. I didn't think the Alexander fight was close at all. :conf Garcia is a very fine B-level, to me, and so is Matthysse. Neither would stand much of any chance at all with Mayweather, in my opinion. I can't imagine why anyone would think they would have a good chance with him, really. I think both would match up with him pretty horribly. But they're damned good 140-pounders.

You don't understand. If the favourite loses a fight it's always that he was overrated and absolutely never that the underdog was underrated. No one can be underrated. That's forum law. Everyone is overrated, no one is underrated. Unless you're a fan of someone and then they are underrated. It's complicated. Fax me for a copy of the full rulebook. I can't explain it all.
