Yassine El Maachi would beat Mathew Hatton and Kell Brook

[Dan Dares]

How about he fights Colin Lynes again?

[Gazmac81]

brook would beat him and Hattons certainly went up in my estimation over past year or 2 but yassine could win that one

[Bricks]

if maachi were 5 years younger i could see him improving and beating them in a couple of years as it is he is 31. and with that style of relying on reflexes and speed at that age it can go at any time over the next couple of years. still hes fresh. He has it all to prove over 12. Hatton is too fast and sharp for him and brooks would knock him out

[crusader]

I think both Hatton and Brook would beat El Maachi.

[Atom Bomb]

Both guys beat him up - convincingly. He won a narrow and possibly debatable decision over Lynes but I wouldn't put too much emphasis on it as its prizefighter.

[ScottDetonator]

Why is El Maachi being touted as a top fighter even domestically is beyond me. He didn't beat Lynes in Prizefighter and won the poorest Prizefighter ever against a well past it Junior Witter in a fight that was quite honestly, el terrible.

[Londonirish]

He's got to be shouting il beat this and beat that without been able to go for the Biritsh Commonwealth or Euro Title what other route can he go?

[saturday_kid]

I liked him before but all this calling people out who are levels above him is doing my head in.

Hatton would beat him convincingly and Brook would stop him imo

[Josh1111]

No chance, both beat him and beat him easily

[dondada]

I'd like to see him fight Brook as I can no longer enjoy bear baiting or hunting with dogs. Damn this politically correct world 8)

[saturday_kid]

Just out of interest whats stopping him going for the British and Commonwealth?

He hasn't got British citizenship. He doesn't have citizenship of a commonwealth country, either.

Cheers.

Can he not attain British citizenship yet?

Prior to Yassine El Maachi beating Jimmy Colas (who was nr 4 in Europe at Light Middleweight at the time) in December last year many people on here said that Yassine didn't have a chance and would get beat convincingly yet in reality he beat Colas by a wide margin over 12 rounds,winning practically every round.Colas has since gone on to win and climb back into the top 100 and at 30yrs old,younger than El Maachi at the time he was and still is far from being past it.This guy Yassine El Maachi has a track record of upsetting the applecart and his record shows he has beaten at least 4 people including Conception who he was supposed to have lost against.On that form would it really be such a surprise if he were to beat either Hatton or Brook.Hatton to his credit has paid he's dues and been in with some very good boxers,best of them all Saul 'Canello' Alverez,but apart from a washed up 39yr old Lovemore N'dou and Krzstof Bienias who has Kell Brook fought to be given the same acclaim?

Beating Conception is a totally different proposition to beating Hatton or Brook, totally different.

London Irish has got this spot on - and seriously, what does he bring to the table ?
Boxing is about looking forward, not backward and with due respect El Maachi both fighters you cite have bigger fish to fry.

[pyenest77]

He gets on my nerves does Yassine. He calls out everyone & says that he can beat them. On the occasion that I have seen him he looks very amateur lunging in all the time.
Brook definately beats him, Hatton probably beats him for me.

[Sid-the-hat]

May beat Hatton. But think Brook takes him out dramtically. Would be great fight while it lasts though.

His promotor, Steve Goodwin, has said he is trying to do this. What the regulations are I don't know.
In a previous thread on El Maachi, someone suggested that Steve could try to get Yassine a WBO African title shot or something similar, which sounds a good shout to me if UK citizenship isn't forthcoming.

Steven Hawking could get a WBO African title shot if he was prepared to pay the sanctioning fee.

[Old bones Ian]

How come he's not calling out Colin Lynes?

[Camcas]

I think Yassine El Maachi would beat Matthew Hatton and Kell Brook.How do other folks envisage the fight scenario of El Maachi against Hatton and Brook?

http://news.boxrec.com/news/2011/kell-b ... -el-maachi

Is this a joke you seriously think he would beat either

[nh1]

How come he's not calling out Colin Lynes?

Agree he should fight him; nearly everyone seems to feel he was very fortunate indeed to get the decision against Colin.

Yup, I feel they both would.

Brook definately beats him, Hatton probably beats him for me.

He's an entertaining fighter though, needs more exposure, he would be a great undercard fighter for ppv events.
