Matthysse hasn't truly lost a fight and has an 86% KO ratio. A higher ratio than Wladimir Klitschko. Matthysse is p4p the hardest puncher in boxing at the moment and with power like that I'd give him a shot at beating anyone from 140/147. I'd give him a shot at beating Mayweather if he can just touch that chin but to be honest even at this late stage in Mayweather's career he really only has a punchers chance.
Article: Lucas Matthysse: Potential fights for 'The Machine'
You can view the full article here - http://checkhookboxing.com/content.php?745-Lucas-Matthysse-Potential-fights-for-The-MachineDubbed 'The Machine', Argentina's Lucas Matthysse sent out a statement of intent last night with a three round destruction of the usually durable IBF world titlist Lamont Peterson. After a cagey fist round whereby Peterson opted to box from range, Matthysse closed the gap in the second and dropped Peterson with a right to the body followed by a glancing left hook.
Peterson saw out the round but again found himself on the canvas in the third after a beautiful short left hook landed directly on his chin and had him struggling to rise. After being felled again seconds later, again from a glancing left hook referee Steve Smoger stepped inside to end the carnage and a new star was born.
The result has Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Shaefer excitingly labeling the Argentinian 'the new Manny Pacquaio' as his 140lb rivals Danny Garcia and Amir Khan watched on from ringside.
With an unofficial tournament by GBP supposedly resulting in a Matthysse v Garcia fight in September, fight fans are salivating from the lips as to numerous potential fights 'The Machine' could be involved in in the near future.
