De La Hoya would never fight Forrest. He ducked him back in 02. And now the fight holds no significance. Forrest isnt the fighter he used to be. So I would expect DLH to take it. But he does fade after only 6 rounds so Forrest will have a chance.
Oscar said something about how fighting Forrest during that time was not in his best interest because Forrest would be a risky fight and he wasnt very well known. It was all over the news because Oscar had also made the comment about how African Americans didnt take punches well to the body. It was the same interview. Around '01/'02.
Oscar would have to knock Forrest out to get a split decision! However, Oscar would knock Forrest out, no doubt about that one. Forrest was given a title tonight. Baldomir had never even fought in that division, yet they made a fight between he and Forrest for the title, boxing has be be the most crooked sport ever!
DLH would beat Forrest, i think DLH should probably consider a fight wit forrest after tonight to close out 2007 and stay sharp for his next bout in '08.
NEWSFLASH, Baldobum makes fighters look good. DLH would beat Forrest no problem. BTW Quartey beat forrest in '06 no reason to believe DLH wouldnt either.
But Mosley had just beat DLH, the first clear defeat of Oscar's career, and Forrest schooled him the first time and comfortably beat him again to show it wasn't a fluke. I don't see why Forrest shouldn't have earned his pass to fight Oscar.
