Torres could not make weight and was sick, is he moving up to 147 or staying @140 I don't know. We should hear something from his team soon. But Forbes is moving down after his fights with De La Hoya and Berto back to 140 where he feels he can be more competetive. In recent interview he said he is open to fight Torres and any other top JWW. Torres may not get a better fight then fight @40. Forbes has good defense and chin, but is getting older. Ricardo has great power and good pressure, and not sure how he can return after his last KO loss. He fell pretty bad. Who takes this fight I'm leaning Torres.
Ricardo Torres vs. Steve Forbes?

Forbes' best weight in 140, stylistically he gives Torres a lot of trouble and he has a very good chin, I wouldn't be surprised if he pulls out a decision.
From what I know, Torres is staying at 140, he just couldn't make weight for this one because he couldn't train due to illness, I think he's still planning on fighting Holt a third time although that probably won't happen until late next year.
