If it is a legit fight Forbes ought to win it.

    Forbes is smaller but he has a better defense and hand speed. If this fight is legit, it could look a lot like DEE LaHOYa vs Mayweather. Without all the holding. I think this fight is not legit. Much like Oscar's and Hopkins' fight was a set up fight. I think this one is just a way to get Oscar back into the limelight and Forbes a nice pay day.

    This fight is fixed like the Sturm fight

    Even if he gets smashed he'll win

    I just hope Steve don't roll over and puts up a serious effort

    Some people are waaaay too ready to accept conspiracy theories. There is no tangible proof that the Sturm or Hopkins fights were fixed. Oscar has been on both ends of bad decisions, but hey, that's boxing. Things happen. That's not proof of some grand conspiracy. Rants about fixed fights often sound a little loopy. Gotta start looking out for the black helicopters next.

    WHy all the hate for Oscar??
    He is putting on a free fight and you guys ***** about it.
    How in the hell would Forbes beat Oscar??? IMO Oscar beats all WW except for Cotto and Mayweather.

    The hate this guy gets is ridiculous...

    De La Hoya never beats Shane Mosley. :yep

    But I would be SHOCKED if Forbes won tomorrow- Oscar is taking him seriously and is obviously the more accomplished boxer. More talented, as well.

    I'm actually expecting a TKO tomorrow. :hey
