When Forbes weighs in at 150, he can take a bigger punch than when he weighs in at 140. Its just how it works. More mass makes that his body can absorb more damage
I think DLH brought the best out of Forbes. He won 3 rounds according to my card with one round even.
forbes has never been dropped much less stopped in his career. dlh said he was somewhat dissapointed that he wasn't able to stop forbes. that means he really tried to KO him but can't. so, i don't think hatton will either.
Not only that, hes got 10 lbs of probably water and hydration weight when he fought DLH, who wasn't commiting to his punches at all in that fight. And cmon now, the DLH left hook that blasted Vargas/Mayorga was never thrown in the fight with Forbes!...Trust me on this, If you could ask Forbes what hurt more the combinations that DLH was hitting you with or each loaded up shot that you got hit by Hatton 10lbs lighter he is going to say Hatton hit harder. I am NOT saying that Hatton is the better puncher, I am saying that on a consistent basis if Hatton and Forbes ever fought at 140lbs he could generate more force per shot if he gets his legs and leverage into the shot. It is clear as day, DLH was throwing punches with MINIMAL leverage when he fought Forbes because he wasn't intending on knocking Forbes out!
