Matthysse

Oh that nikka. :mjlol:

Don't @patscorpio rep him too.

I picked him to beat Swift and destroy Molina early and he disappointed me both times. Only time he exceeded my expectations was against Peterson. I thought he'd beat Lamont in a decision.

If he learns to cut off the ring and improve his footwork instead of leaning over when he throws, he might tap into his full potential.

I'm not a fan of either Kovalev or Stvenson.

Which is why when some posters on here say they'd rank Hopkins over Mayweather if he beats both, I'm not so sure I can because I'm not very high on either to begin with

Being a fan of someone and respecting their positions are different things....especially when we're talking all-time standings.

For all the "Struggleson" talk, he's still the RING/WBC Light Heavy Champion and Sergey Kovalev is the #2 Contender and WBO Champion.

Hypothetically of course (being that B-Hop hasnt fought nor beat neither Stevenson or Kovalev), if Bernard Hopkins is able to become the RING/WBA/WBC/WBO/IBF Light Heavyweight Champion at 50, plus his complete dominance and reign over the Middleweight division with 20 straight title defenses combined with his complete dominance of the Light Heavyweight division, incuding a resume which would also have victories over Top 5 ranked opponents or higher in Joe Lipsey/John David Jackson/Glen Johnson/Robert Allen/Antwun Echols/Syd Vanderpool/Keith Holmes/Felix Trindad/Carl Daniels/Morrade Hakkar/William Joppy/Oscar De La Hoya/Howard Eastman/Antonio Tarver/Winky Wright/Kelly Pavlik/Roy Jones Jr/Jean Pascal/Tarvoris Cloud/Beibut Shumenov/Adonis Stevenson/Sergey Kovalev at light heavyweight....I would have no choice.

Me too.

I have it as B-Hop beats Kovalev and Stevenson. Kovalev beats Stevenson.

:yeshrug:
:wtb: I still think :cape: beats Kovalev and has the best shot at beating BHop of anyone else in the division.
If pressed I would take :cape: over BHop just because of the size, youth, power advantage.

And at least we can say we have seen :cape: tested and persevere. I don't know shyt about Kovalev and what he will do when put in the deep water.

That's cool N I understand where you coming from...Salka is a shyt unnecessary fight

My point is Swift, Peterson, Matthysse all are fighting scrubs...N its because of Haymon

Yet nikkas on the internet wanna crusade against one N toss out excuses for the other...:beli:

Danny is a duck but let's blame Haymon for Matthysse fight...shyts lame AF

Champs fight scrubs all the damn time...who did GGG fight in Monaco last?? Bu bu bu but he's active so its OK tho..Swifts scheduled for 3 fights this year is that not active??

Garcia goin get that hate regardless...i just like to point out the hypocrisy...muhfukkers were trashing Herrera N now swift ducking the world beater Herrera...muhfukkers swear Swift is ducking Matthysse...the champ should be fighting top opp sure...but the nikka wanting a rematch should be earning that shyt as well...he's not N hell stay getting a pass for that:stopitslime:


The two situations are different.

Danny Garcia is the reigning, defending, and undisputed Champion of 140. A title he won by defeating Lucas Matthysse in a close, but clear decision victory. Now that he's at that position he's got to remain that dominant force by facing top competition. Anything less than top comp is unnecessary for a fighter alone at the top of the mountain top. Struggling against Juventud Herrera and taking on Jerry Flynn in a meaningless catch-weight, non-title affair is horse manure for a fighter in his position.

Did Matthysse look less dominant in his stoppage against John Molina? Perhaps, but he DID stop Molina, brutally. Do I like the prospects of him facing either Essa Rios or Silver King? No. But he will get a pass by the boxing community. Do you know why?...........

Because he is not the reigning, defending, undefeated, and undisputed Champion of 140. He doesn't even hold a world title.

You would defend a king who doesn't defend his crown? I wouldn't. Not as a fan of the sport nor the individual fighter. This has nothing to do with my stannery of Matthysse, but everything to do with my stannery of boxing. I find it disgusting that someone in the position of Danny Garcia is taking such a nonsense fight. The same way I'd feel if...
-Klitschko beats Pulev and announces his next bout to be with Shannon Briggs :why:
-Mayweather wins and announces his next bout to be with Pablo Cesar Cano :scusthov:
-Andre Ward announces his next bout to be with Badou Jack :wtf:

There's opposition perceived to be weak for certain fighters depending on their situation, then there's complete bullshyt.......... And Rod Salka is the latter.
