He might get caught out in this fight by Forbes speed,its awhile since we have seen a good Hatton performance if you take away the Paulie fight.He is past his best but i still feel he can win a close fight on points with forbes.

I dont think its a good idear to fight at 147lb if he wins then he will probably move back down to 140 its not a good thing to be going up and down weights.

Wow that is intresting that its at 147, maybe Hatton was struggling with his weight. I think Hatton sparred many rounds with Forbes before the fight with Castillo, hes not the biggest of punchers. Im not sure what to think about this, I honestly think Forbes could win this.

Forbes could win but he's not much of a puncher. Would this be a going away fight or is he sticking around?

Im not sure to be honest? 147 whats all that about? I hope its his final fight win or loose.

That was my first though.

Why at 147?

If this is true it could be a tough test for Hatton. He has suffered 2 of the heavier KO's of recent times and Steve Forbes will stand there and fight all night. Hatton has the same mentality but I think his beard may have gone, would be a shame to see Hatton get hurt if this is the case.

I think some will underestimate the size here.For a change a fighter will be coming up to Forbes recent range.He was undersized in with Ocsar and clearly brought in as a opponet for GBP & the rising Berto but still managed to exploit some flaws in Andre and do a number on Oscars face.He has never dogged it in anyfight and he'll have all the benefits with hand speed and mobility side to side.And the point about Hattons mind set after Pacquiao loss is well taken.A guy can go either way and quickly after that sort of KO.

It is an easy fight for Hatton and he will beat him. Forbes is not a big enough puncher to harm Hatton which should be his last fight.

[TheMacMagician]

The choice of opponent really dissapoints me, seriously. What has it come to. Thought it was poor when DLH signed to fight forbes. Rubbish.

What did you expect ? He is coming back from a horrible ko,no way was he going to go in with a big puncher.

He might not be a big puncher but if he lands alot he will mark Hattons face up.

Forbes will be a tough test,it will show us what Ricky has left and it will test him mentaly in this fight .If he isnt right going into the ring he will lose this fight.

[Nameless]

It was obvious he would fight again, the question was: where, when and against who. Forbes makes a lot of sense and I would be very surprised that he would retire right after that fight as well, count one or two more at least.
