    Ok I see what you mean now. Im with its ok that this is a little or no risk fight. Whens the last time Oscars actually had a fight like this where his opponet has no advantage over him in anyway ? I guess its Campas and thats it. I love him for always fighting top guys.

    Oscar keeps interferring into big fights. If he wants to keep fighting so be it . . . fight a legitimate opponent at his legitimate weight if not . . . retire!

    He doesn't hold a belt anymore and yet he choses his opponent, when and where he wants to fight. It's all money fights because he sells fight . . . but in term od stature it's all crap and bull****.

    I guess Floyd will fight the winner of DLH-Forbes and Hatton the loser if it would be a close fight.
    Afterwards people talk about Hatton P4P status ... silly

    Forbes is defenitely living a charmed life by what I see. He has won already nice payday, exposure has what for him is a very hot wife. Guy has 9 knockouts and gets picked for this payday! pies falling from the sky. This loss will still lead to a few other paydays. just goes to show I would rather be lucky than good.

    Almost impossible. But if that happens I am sure Floyd would then fight Forbes. Anybody but a ranked WW. OR PAcquiao. You got remember they are going to have to put a diving belt on Pacquiao to fight on 154lbs

    De la Hoya will have learned from the close call with Sturm; he should win this fight at a canter, maybe taking the fight into the later rounds just to sharpen himself up (glorified sparring session type situation). If Forbes wins, improbable but not impossible, De la Hoya will either (1) retire (2) rematch Forbes (3) pretend nothing happened and just fight floyd anyway.

    I would hope he would take option (1). I suspect he would take option (3).

    Forbes would get a tittle shot most likley at 140.
    If Winky Wright realizes that his vaule is at best a 40/60 split of the purse; I could see Wright vs Mayweather in September.
