Forbes Vs Rees --- In The Works!

[superheavyrhun]

Based on ress' past performances, forbes beats him in a close one. But they say a champ improves by 25% once he wins his title....

I'd much ather see him fight Demetrius Hopkins

The thing is, I think Rees has stumbled into this title a little prematurely, and still has some work developing to do to be a decent champion, so going for the harder fights straight away would be a little suicidal on his part, so beating some contenders (maybe there was a pun intended) before some really big fights, like D-Hop, would probably be best for him.

Thing is Forbes was apparently very competitive against D-Hop and many people claim was robbed..so with that logic it wouldn't make sense for Rees to fight Forbes either. I do hope Forbes takes it though. Nice guy and a good boxer.

I think with both Forbes and D-Hop they are both "gimmick" fighters to some extent these days, with Forbes having been in The Contender and D-Hop in the vast shadow of another "Hop" who may or may not fight Calzaghe. It's a different thing being competitive and actually winning, so that's why I'd prefer Forbes for Rees at the moment.

And it sets up a potential Wales v Hopkins bill, with Calzaghe v B-hop and Rees v D-hop. Does the Hopkins clan have a decent heavyweight to go up against Maccarinelli?
