Would Hatton have beaten Forbes on Saturday?

[killersheep]

Its funny, while watchin the Forbes vs. Oscar fight, I was thinkin to myself "Could Forbes beat my favorite fighter Ricardo Mayorga? If Mayorga couldn't KO him or knock him down a couple times, would Forbes outbox him?"

I don't know.

Maybe Forbes could beat some big names to be honest. Maybe Hatton, but I think he'd get outworked by Hatton and maybe hurt to the body.
Oscar did NOT take it easy on Forbes, but he didn't go all out either.

I agree that ODLH didn't go "all out" one thing he did very well in that fight was to pace himself, I don't think his defense was as good as HBO said it was, and he still relied on the shoeshining to win rounds.

Sounds like Oscar is preparing himself for another sparring contest with Floyd. I just hope that atr 147 Floyd himself will be tempted to up the pace a little and force the fight.
