Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Pacquiao-Matthysse is Guaranteed FOTY

[hectari]

This fight can be a very technical exciting fight because both guys can box as well. Its going to be one of those fights where they will try to time each other with super hard counters.

Lucas vs Ruslan was supposed to be fight of the year knockout ending bout, but Lucas like I told everyone is the best boxer of the argentines, he will outbox Ruslan and fight smart and pick his shots, nobody believed me, and he did. he put a clinic but Ruslan put heavy pressure and made Lucas respect him so Lucas didnt go forward.

With Pacquiao he doesn't have the chin of Ruslan so I either see it Lucas by devastating KO or Pacquiao by decision.

One thing is for sure Pac will not be able to hurt Lucas but Lucas will be able to hurt Pac. Pac from a few years ago it would be much more interesting, but who knows maybe this more technical version of Pac can win, if it were a few years before the KO maybe Lucas would catch Pac jumping in like Marquez?

Matthysses a better opponent than Khan anyway u slice it, standing and opposition-wise..he may be "fast doe" but that means shtt when ur not facing the top guys...TODAYS top guys. I just gotta laugh at Khan thinkn he can pick up a big fight by dodging WWs, fk that Khans being forced to prove his worth haha and myself i could careless if he steps up, hes only hurtn his fraud self...hes still Khaning his own fanbase tho...poor guys

Amir Iman is the mandatory challenger for the winner of Postol/Matthysse. Iman should get the winner. If Matthysse wins & wants to fight Pacquiao at 144 he should drop the belt. I wanna see Iman fight the winner. I guess the only mandatories people around here demand are GGG & Povetkin.

Even with demand look how long it takes to get a shot...lets not act like the WBC are extra expedient for either GG ND Povetkin, its gonna be about 2yrs b4 Iman gets a crack

Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar De La Hoya is tipping a potential fight between Lucas Matthysse (37-3, 34 KOs) and Manny Pacquiao (57-6-2, 38KOs) to be a guaranteed "Fight of The Year" encounter.

Matthysse is in the running to face Pacquiao in early 2016. Other names being mentioned by Pacquiao's promoter, Bob Arum of Top Rank, include Amir Khan, Terence Crawford and Kell Brook.

I doubt it.

Maybe, but I think that Pacquiao will more than likely outclass Matthyse.

This fight wont be competitive enough, for long enough, to be FOTY.

Watch Oscar get played again! Who is Sadam Ali fighting? Arum just keeps talking **** when he knows all along that it will be Pacquiao vs. Terence Crawford at 144!

Mathysse would not be able to get to him nearly enough. Gets pasted.

I'd rather Crawford. The size would make the fight interesting. Manny is not losing to Mathysse nor Brook.

Crawford, or Thurman.

easy win for pac lucas brings nothing to the table besides power he will lose by tko or lop sided decision

Yup ^^

DLH might want to wait and see if Matthysse wins before talking too much about Pacquiao.

I like Matthyse better than I like Postol.

But I am supporting Postol in this one just to fcuk Arum.

It has the possibility of being a dud depending on whether or not Pacquiao still has the legs to turn his opponent.

He just shat on Canelo and Lemieux, his own fighters, smh. Especially his cash cow Canelo.
