Would Floyd Mayweather Jr. take a fight with Lucas Matthysse?

Matthysse cant be that big a puncher if he couldnt put Judah away. Im not saying Juday is shite, hes not but he went 12 rounds with the person whos now supposedly the biggest puncher in all of boxing.

After Price I think that Lucas Matthysse may well be the hardest puncher on earth. He could at least knock out a Rhino, and if they were still around possibly a medium sized dinosaur.

Agreed, good post. And if scientists actually bring back Sabertooth tigers in the next few years like they keep saying, those big pussies would have to step up to the plate as well. But everyone knows the Sabertooths would rather just remain extinct as long as Lucas Mattyhsse is out there.

Judah said he is the hardest puncher he has ever faced. Also, Matthysse has knocked down almost everyone he's faced: Alexander, Soto, Peterson, Dallas Jr., Olusegun, Corley, Judah.

Folks... it's ok to laud Matthysse's punching power. Really.

There seems to be a taboo on piling praise on a fighter's qualities, for fear of getting hit with the "b-word" (rhymes with bandwagon). Yeah, yeah, yeah.... Lucas Matthysse does NOT punch harder than Mike Tyson. Lucas Matthysse cannot demolish tall buildings with a single punch. Lucas Matthysse does not make Hulk (the green guy, not our Saddo friend) cower in fear.

But Lucas Matthysse does have 32 knockouts in 34 fights. Lucas Matthysse did knock out Peterson for the first time in his 34-fight career. And he did it in the 3rd round. Lucas Matthysse was already being recognized for his vaunted punching power... it's not like he crept up on everybody overnight.

Oh... and to those who now claim that Peterson was a bum anyway, and a knockout waiting to happen..... I extend my heartfelt congratulations, and can only say that it would've sounded much more credible if said before the fight.

So hey.... it might not be the "cool" thing to do. But for now, I'll just get me a comfy seat on the Lucas bandwagon while it's still running. And if for some reason one of the wheels should happen to come off..... I'll just do what all good boxing fans do. I'll step off to see if it can be fixed. If not, I'll catch a train.

For the record, I wouldn't be too eager to spar him unless he wore 18 oz gloves and agreed to play nice
