Septembers Ring Issue featuring an All Stars report card, in the back where the fans come out writting look at what Forbes had to say regarding Rankings Pro & Con "What can a fighter do to get into your rankings? I see you have Demetrius Hopkins ranked at number seven after his controversial, horribly judged, So-called win against me. is there any justice for a fighter when you guys actually reward a guy that didnt deserve the decision by bumping him up the rankings and not putting in a guy who clearly deserved and earned the win?" STEVE FORBES How funny yet so much truth to it.
He knows the business by now. It's not about what you do its who you know like with everything else in the world. He needs top notch representation to have his back in boxing politics or just be bitter at every robbery.
Yeah, it's a shame when that happens. Think of all the terrible calls over the years: Bradley vs Pacquiao I, Pacquiao vs Marquez III, Lara vs Williams, Lara vs Canelo, Sergio Martinez vs Cintron, Sergio Martinez vs Williams I, Danny Garcia vs Herrera, Marcus Browne vs Kalajdzic. Didn't see it but Juan Manuel Marquez disputes his loss to Chris John at lightweight and possibly his first title shot to Freddie Norwood. Mayweather vs Castillo I, Pernell Whitaker vs everybody, Bradley vs Chaves, etc.
I remember that one. It was a close, competitive fight, but I do remember Forbes should of edged it. Forbes was really crafty, underrated tough as they come fighter. He lacked power, but over all a good fighter. Reminds me of Bradley.
