Did Lucas Matthysse Take Something from Danny Garcia?

I think it's been more that he's been struggling to make 140 and doesn't look big enough to handle 147, plus his power doesn't seem to be there. Some people are just crucified when they get naturally bigger and getting those last couple of pounds off makes them a shell of their former selves. Probably Matthysse was the last time he could make it unaffected.

His last fight with Peterson was a catchweight of 143, surely that would have suited him if it were down to that? He had a few bad showings before fighting Mattyhse, Kendall Holt or the first one with Morales at least, he didn't really look better there than he has recently. I feel like Garcia and Matthysse both get overrated by a lot of people on here, Terrence Crawford would spank them both badly imo.

I don't think so. I think it has more to do with the styles he's faced since giving him trouble.

Danny Garcia has a long history (since his amateur days) of looking mediocre in spots but finding a way to win.

I think the weight issue has hampered him more than anything. He should probably move up to 147.
