Rees is a game fighter, there's no doubt about that, and he'd go in there 100% with an Enzo Calzaghe plan backing him. However, when he won the belt it was against a jaded and uninspiring Souleymane M'baye, whilst Forbes will undoubtedly have much more desire and will than that guy.

On the other hand, Forbes is probably less of a challenge than many of the other guys who are in the division and would love to get a shot at Rees. I reckon Rees would give Forbes a run for his money, but just get edged out on the stretch.
