Hatton to fight in manchester against Forbes

[CFH]

Did people b1tch this much when that Lazcano fight was announced? Because Forbes is a step above him IMO.

Forbes is much better than some are giving him credit for, he should have probably 3 less L's on his record, as he did enough to beat Brewer, Hopkins & Gonzalez, & you could make arguments for other fights, he certainly gets scored unfavourably against more than any other fighter I can think of apart from possibly Emmanuel Augustus. You also have to remember he's fought well-above his natural weight, he's probably grown into a 140lber now, yet he still gave ODLH & Berto trouble when they came into the ring weighing probably 10-15lbs more than him

I think Forbes is the right opponent for Hatton right now. He's not a push over, has some skills and should Hatton win will be a good confidence builder.

Agree on the whole comeback thing

But should a guy who admittedly only has 2-3 fights left in him waste one of those fights fighting someone who everybody would expect him to roll over??
