Yeah, real credit to him. I think people(myself included) really didn't expect he could take Lucas' best shots, but he was tough as nails, fearless and fought him in the pocket all night. He is the more compact fluid puncher and really is a warrior, not many fighters can/will commit to punching with a guy like Matthyse and win the exchanges, it was brilliant to watch him punch with Lucas and get better of it.
I just hope he isn't the next Mayweather opponent, he would have absolutely no chance in hell there. Great little action fighter, but he would never get anywhere near Floyd. If he had been in the ring instead of Floyd tonight, Canelo would have beaten him to a pulp, just think about the disparity there. Floyd does not need to fight limited 140 pounders at this point in his career, no matter how exciting they are against others.
