      I hope Oscar feels great about fighting a guy at 150 who just refused a fight with Andre Berto at 147. I also hope he makes Oscar look like **** and buries the unneeded Mayweather rematch even deeper.

        I would love to see a mayweather rematch. why is it unneeded? dlh gave mayweather the hardest fight of his career. download and watch the fight again. I did like 5 times. you will see that it was very winable for dlh. I'm not saying that he is gonna beat him, I'm just saying that its winnable and oscar deserves a rematch. plus mayweahter senior knows oscar better and he knows may junior better and he is a much better trainer than Roach in my opinion.

            Glad to see forbes get the nod here. It has rocky movie type storyline to it. Forbes gets robbed by a golden boy fighter. Beats one of their best prospesct in bojado. And now gets the biggest opportunity he could hope for in fighting the Golden Boy. What if he even pulled the upset, what a story that would be. Very unlikely though!!!!

              ****ing Oscar...why does he need a tune up again? To destroy a small guy so he can look good and sell a ppv with Floyd? Sorry...answered my own question. Please continue.

                The first Castillo fight was by far the toughest match of Floyd's career. Floyd's fight with DLH was an overhyped snoozer. Of course it is your right to want to see it again, but the backlash I've been seeing here and elsewhere indicates there are plenty of fans who would rather see Mayweather move on to more interesting competition. It would be nice to see him fight top rated welterweights for a change.

                  just curious, where would you rank Oscar at his current state in the WW division?

                    150 may be too much for forbes. otherwise he can win this fight imo.
