Mora gets to fight Taylor
Manfredo gets to fight Calzaghe
Steve Forbes gets to fight D-Hop
These are all ridiculous fights.
Actually Forbes vs D-Hop is a great matchup in my opinion. Forbes is a former world champ you know
Now John Duddy vs Anthony Bonsante on the other hand
AND IT's PPV!!!

D-hops last fight was an IBF title eliminator. His next fight should be for the title. He should be fighting Lovemore N'dou.
Forbes had a title 6 years ago, and he is coming off of a loss.
He lost to a much bigger man in the Contender final. He beat 3 other fighters to get there, including K9 Bundrage.
He's a decent test for D-Hop with a couple of recognisable names on his record, which unless you count Norberto Bravo and Jesse Feliciano is more than Hopkins has.
Poor Bravo embarassed himself the other night against Berto. He kept getting up, but never got into the fight.
"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
