    This fight is a joke. I just posted about it on my blog (see my sig).

    Anywho, there are tons of other fighters out there that DLH can give a chance to. Short list:

    Collazo
    Joel Julio
    Cosme Rivera
    Frederic Klose
    Chris Smith
    Jose Luis Cruz
    David Estrada

    I mean, come on. Forbes is too small. It reminds me of Gatti-Gamache. I just hope Forbes doesn't get hurt if the fight goes thru.

        But they dont offer what Mayweather does in terms of speed, defense, and reflexes, is it that hard to comprhend?

              I'd rather this be oscars going away victory but it is what it is and floyd will beat him again in september.

                I agree, and if I'm being honest I'd admit that Forbes serves well as a Mayweather Lite to tune up with. Fighting someone like Collazo makes no sense for preparing for FM.

                  excellent point......
