    Cause he's been in there with quality opposition and he has no punching power.

    Because Berto's a joke "Chumpion" and so is Forbes-think boxing doesn't need reform?

    HBO is trying to build up Berto so they probably put him in with someone they think he could beat and who better than the person who just fought DLH on HBO?

    Not mandatory. So they choose him based on his demostration against DLH. they want people to see him look good against a guy who made DLH look not so good. That will increased his value. I mean if he looks good.

    Wrong desicion in my opinion. I think Forbes is just one of those guy who even losing makes you look bad.

    Because he's always competitive and gives a good fight to anyone. And he's argueably 2-1 in his last 3 only losing a competitive fight to De Lah Hoya. He beat Bojado and some people say he was robbed vs Hopkins.

    His name of coarse but he is a slick boxer and his style is exactly what Berto needed to to be matched against to gain experience.
