A very likely chain of events could put together a super fight in the 140lb division. It could go something like this:
--Broner fights and beats Malignaggi in a hard fought fight in which he wins by knockout
--Matthysse goes in and obliterates the 140lb kingpin Danny Garcia in 7 rounds.
--These two meet in a clash at 140lbs on the May 2014 Mayweather card!
In reality I think that if these two were to meet it would be at 147lbs as Broner will more than likely control the negotiations and will look for the advantage. But assuming that it happens at 140lbs, how do you think this fight goes?
Broner would have 2 to 3 times the faster hands than Matthysse but Lucas has great timing and underrated abilities even after last nights destruction of Petersen. In terms of power I think they are probably around the same with Lucas having more concussive power and Broner having power generated from speed.
Broner is the more athletically gifted of the two however Matthysse carries alot of experiance and has been in with more top level competition at this point:
-Judah
-Alexander
-Petersen
-Humberto Soto
-Ajose Olusegun
I cannot pick a winner at 140lbs but at 147lbs I can see Broner being able to hurt Lucas being naturally bigger.
Who do you got?
