Steve Forbes moving to Lightweight.

I've added him on myspace as a friend and he posted this bulletin before:

MySpace.com - Steve (2pound)Forbes - 31 - Male - Portland oregon/Las vegas nevada/Detroit, Michigan - www.myspace.com/twopound

On the lightweight division?

"What a great division ruled by Nate Campbell,(i will give respect where its do) I feel some what bad for my friend Campbell because he's avoided like the plague, and all these mega names are going around him, its a dirty game. Something good will happen though.




Katsidis vs juan Diaz(fire works) Casamayor vs juan manual marquez,(ppv?) and from what i hear THE CHAMPION Campbell vs Joan Guzman, (wow! )some stellar match ups guys. This division is so loaded that i have decided to come back down to my lightweight roots, and compete in this stellar division.





although i have been tangling with much bigger game like Oscar De la hoya at 150lbs(jr middleweight) and fought hard with no fear. I was fighting before that at 140lbs. And was champion at 130lbs. Now i thought about going back to 140lbs ,where i beat francisco(panchito) Bojado, and whooped up Demetrius Hopkins before that. you all know i looked really good in that one, even though i was handed one of the worst decisions in the past 20years. (robbed)Anyhow there are no stars tat that weight besides Ricky Hatton, who will tangle with the other name fighter there, Paulie mallignaggie. So i decided since i pride myself on lessons taught from the fighters of yester year, who fought any and everybody, jumped up jumped down, just to give the fans great fights. I said to myself i wanna follow that example, so Forbes will be a lightweight. Its a lot of great and talented fighters in the lightweight division . Since ive been a man amongst giants fighting all these bigger guys, and showing good skills, i thought i should get in where i fit in, with guys my own size and see what come of it.





talk to you guys & gals next week.





Steve 2pound Forbes"


His spelling is awful BTW :-\

Thoughts on the move?

Good read.

But someone should explain to Forbes that to become the champion you have to beat the champion and his friend Nate might have several alphabet trinkets, but he is not THE champion.

Imo Forbes will suffer what Byrd did.

He should fight at light welterweight in my opinion but Khan vs Forbes would be good a good gauge on what Kahn really has to offer at top level.
