Mismatch in Matthysse favor. Matthysse would break down Khan worse than he did Alexander as Alexander has more skills than Khan. Khan would have no shot vs Matthysse, the most underrated WW in the division. He is a devasting puncher who knows how to cut the ring off.
atsch Matthysse is nothing like Peterson. Matthysse couldn't even get the verdict on a done Judah and a non-skilled Alexander. Peterson is 10x the fighter that Matthysse is. Their styles are different. And Khan never 'avoided' him, so stop making **** up. If anything, Matthysse is overrated.
I don`t think if Khan goes up to welter he won`t beat the best,he`s having trouble now getting beat at light welter against Peterson.
You've got it all wrong. Khan would have easily beaten Matthysse and got more props than for beating Peterson.
and if he hadnt fought Maidana it would probably be the same **** your spewing, we dont ****ing know, all these "shoulda woulda coulda" crap, it just doesn't apply in boxing, a sport where anything can happen. Peterson capitalized on flaws that we already knew Khan had, now people have every fighter with a decent bodyshot beating him...not that simple
Although I dont agree with the decision and even with the point deductions Khan should have at least got a draw but im not whining. Peterson put on a good display and coming from somebody whose lived on the streets myself im happy that Lamont won and has such a big win to be remembered by. However maybe this will be a lesson to Khan not to be so arrogant, I was shouting at Khan because instead of turning Peterson and moving away he had a perfect counter punch set up which could have swayed the fight in his favour. I agree that the point deductions were unfair and the ref was more than imcompitent but Khan could have carried himself better in the interviews. Lucas Mathysse on the other hand is a fighter who i believe has had an unfair shake when its come to world glory. Robbed against Judah and Mathysse and missing out on the WBC shot against Morales and now people are talking about Morales taking on somebody else rather than fighting Mathysse as originally planned. Mathysse V Maidana 2012 - Make it happen
Mtthysse could be hell for Khan. His approach is far more wild, and defense not as tight, nor are his punches placed as well as Peterson. However, he's got power and puts on quick pressure with good stamina. It would be interesting. Matthysse beat Alexander quite convincingly, what's your point?
He didn't avoid him as there names were never linked. But, I agree, matthyse would cause all sorts of problems for khan as long as he weathers khans onslaught early. Pressure and no in fighting ability from khan would make it a very long night.
I bet that's your reasoning for Lara not being good. "He couldn't get the verdict vs Williams" You act just like Khan
Seriously you need to watch the fight, one of the most revolting decisions of the year...and we've had a lot of them...
