DLH to fight Forbes

[Jim Jeffries]

It figures that DLH would pick a guy with 9 KO/TKOs in 38 fights and who's lost 2 of his last 3 (though the D-Hop fight was questionable.) But Forbes seems like a nice guy and deserves a good payday.

[DrewWoodside]

With Forbes getting robbed on a GBP card against D-Hop it's probably right that he's getting a good pay day. In a way I hope he give DLH problems and then hopefully there be even more less interest in a rematch.

I'd love to know how DLH/PBF are gonna try and sell this BS product to fans. I really don't think they can claim with a str8 face that fans need/want to see this.

so does this means oscar will be heading into camp by feb. ?

Since he hasn't fought anywhere near 147 since March 2001, I would rank him nowhere as a welterweight. It would be like ranking Trinidad with the junior middleweights. Obviously Oscar could beat some of the rated welters, but I don't see how anyone can rate a 154 lb fighter in that division.

I think its safe to say that the top WW in no particular order are:
Floyd, Cotto, Margarito, Paul Williams, Shane Mosely, Kermit Cintron, Joshua Clottey from this list who in your opinion can Oscar beat?

Assuming DLH can even make the weight comfortably, I would still pick Floyd, Cotto, Margarito, and Williams to beat him. Mosley, Cintron, and Clottey (Judah too) would be toss up fights IMO. In full disclosure I'm admitting that Oscar is probably my least favorite fighter in boxing.

[Kobe Bryant]

The Mayweather fight was winnable for DLH I think. He didn't win but with Mayweather's lack of punch out put for a majority of the fight it was there for the taking. He can win if he uses the jab and employs more tactical body punching.

If you rewatch the fight and look at the photos Mayweather's face was a bit roughed up. So Oscar did land some good shots and showed pretty good handspeed.

I think Forbes is a good tune up. He is tough and a game opponent and I don't think he'll be hesitant to mix it up at times. And it will be good work for Oscar to chase Forbes around becuase he's gonna need to condition himself to stalk Mayweather once again in the rematch.

i really didn't see mayweather win, im not on dlh's nuts but some of the rounds floyd was not throwing any punches at all, example rounds 6,8,9...
IMO dlh won 2,3,4,6,8,9 adn maybe round 12
