    Plain and simple: vote 1st, explain your vote or discuss if you want after that.

    DLH will always have difficulty against slick, black guys. DLH probably by close points win.


    I wish the underdog would spoil the party though.

    Why so sure De La Hoya will stop him? Forbes has good defense, a great chin, and has been in there with guys bigger than Oscar before! Also unless I'm mistaken, Forbes has NEVER been down.

    I voted DLH by tko because he could win that way if he wanted to. However I agree with many posters in thinking if he wanted a simple ko he could have fought anybody. I think DLH will carry him the distance, maybe to the 11 and 12th rounds just to keep himself moving and test his stamina. Who knows, DLH has always gone in for the kill as soon as an opponent is hurt. I can see him having the plan of carrying the guy through the rounds and the moment Forbes looks hurt just throwing it out the window and taking him out.

    oscar has a 5 inch reach advantage, i assume it will b at 154 and forbes last campaigned at 142, he's bk with floys sr and faced far far better oponents (obviously), pointless fight, so i think an oscar TKO.

    ranked 32nd, hasn't beat anyone yet - no WAY will DLH's handpick do anything to get in the way of a 40 million dollar fight.
