Its all good man. Im sure the 2nd time around Matthysse will be the underdog and I will be in minority but Lucas will get the job done. I hope we just see it. Got Em!!

But sometimes fights aren't built on skills. Imagine if Garcia vs Malignaggi is to happen, all the shit talking that would occur there? Paulie won the shit talking contest vs Broner easily and that weak ass fight received a lot of attention. Or remember Judah was working the shit out of Garcia during the championship rounds vs Garcia? I think Mathysse will get the loser of the Malgnaggi Judah fight as a main event on Showtime. Mathysse will fight Broner if Broner beats Maidana. Broner will still stick to his fighting smaller guys game plan but I do see this being a ppv fight
I have no idea what you're talking about Broner moved up 12 pounds to fight Paulie. Manny has fought 4 guys in a row moving up from 140lb and you have nothing bad to say. Broner moves up to 147lb and you still talking shit. Why don't the great GGG move up to fight Ward? We all know why GGG is to scared to move up. Broner couldn't stayed at 135lb and knocked everyone out like Mikey Garcia, or he could've whined about Burns and Vasquez ducking him at 135 like GGG at 160, but no Broner moved up to test himself for real unlike the other hyped up fighters you dick ride. Broner, Garcia, Devon, are about that life boxing for real that don't duck anyone.

I've heard quite a few boxing writers say that they think Marquez is above Morales and Barrera. Not enough people even mention Ricardo Lopez. I feel like Sanchez benefits from dying early, like a rapper. We never know what may have been. If Fernando Vargas died right before he fought Tito, people would be saying that he would've been one of the best ever too probably, even though the disparity in their skills is night and day, that's how people are.

weight has nothing to do with who's bigger. If that was the case then Canelo would have also had a longer reach than Canelo. All boxing fans know that the fighter with the longer reach is normally considered the bigger fighter. Paulie cannot fight at 154, Broner can and we all see that. Besides, I'm not talking shit as I've said before that GBP protect a lot of their fighters, from Canelo to Broner so I'm not picking on certain fighters. Besides, he ducked Rios and that's a fact. They both fought at the same weight class and same network and it's known that Rios wanted him bad. Why didn't that fight happen?
I definitely have Morales over Marquez no question. I mean it sucked that he stayed in the sport for to long to kinda tarnish his legacy like a lot of other fighters but I still rank him over Marquez. Marquez better hang them up soon before he does the samething. He looked very slow against Bradley lol. Got Em!!
Na Morales didnt tarnish his legacy. He fought well in some of his last fights. Doesnt mean anything that he got those losses doesn't take away from his accomplishments. If Marquez wasnt screwed outta at least 2 of 3 decisions against Manny he would definitely have been considered better. In the end it made him bulk up to knock out Manny and it worked. Thing that kills me is if Marquez didnt get screwed out of those decisions Manny would never have had all this hype and be so overrated
Sanchez was legit but my point was that, if he went on to get ko'd by JC Chavez then went on a losing streak afterwards or something, he wouldn't have been held in as high of a regard. It's like if Pavlik or Tito would've died before facing Hopkins, Jones Jr. before Tarver etc... Either way, he obviously was legit while he was alive.
That's how I feel too. I think Morales was amazing and he's one of my favorite fighters. But fat Dan and Kieran Mulvaney, and I want to say Bert Sugar all thought Marquez was higher all time than Morales and Barrera. They all rank Barrera higher than Morales based on Barrera winning twice over Morales too. I still rank Morales higher. And I think his comeback only elevated his stance to me. He was clearly out of shape and washed up but even 5% of the old Erik Morales was still a badass. He knocked out Cano when he was undefeated and I thought he narrowly beat Maidana with a ridiculously swollen eye since the first round. Maidana is in a pick 'em fight with Broner obviously. Morales was sick.
