    no, ricky used forbes as a sparring partner for floyd and had nothing but praise for steve. he didn't sack him coz he was too good though. hatton is strong, busy and physical. forbes would do very well v torres and malliganaggi though. witter top dog at 140 now, (until further notice!)

    Probably not. Oscar hits too hard, and Hatton is too easily hit

    Nope - well at least not Hatton pre PBF.

    We dont know yet how much that fight took from him.

    DLH would have a better chance of stopping Hatton than he did Forbes due to styles. Forbes is alot harder to hit than Ricky.

    Could Forbes beat Hatton....yes

    Would Forbes beat Hatton....Probably not

    No, Forbes might be able to give Quintana a tussle.

    Forbes has a good chance at beating Hatton. I can see 2-pounds outboxing Ricky to a UD. but it all depends on where the fight would take place and the Ref used, Know what I mean?

    relantless; good point. no, i don't think he could. stylaes and ability to carry weight. hatton, i think, would beat forbes down (not stop him). de la hoya would make a mess of ricky.
