    Tip tap that ass, yeah! Giving his back and doing pussy moves on the ropes. DLH in his prime would ruin this guy's life. Floyd's a bum beater.

    Haha, no. Oscar has about good 5 rounds in him before he gasses as it is, and that's from pretty much plodding across the ring. I could only imagine how quickly he would gas fighting on his toes. He'd probably have another Sturm-like moment, where he was complaining to Floyd Sr. about not being able to move. There were moments in the Mayweather fight where he started to bounce on his toes, but immediately stopped because he doesn't have the legs to pull it off anymore.

    I can't believe they're doing a count-down show to ODH/Forbes and that HBO is hyping it like a real fight.

    Forbes is a helluva a fighter. But he doesn't belong anywhere near 147, let alone 154. This is just some guy ODH picked so that he can stay in with the guy without having to fight him all the time and tire out.

    The old man's just cashing in. A good performance against some handpicked bum and then he's ready to market another fight with Pretty Boy with bullsh*t like "It'll be different this time", and raping folks of their money again.:lol:

    I think it just might be the way sh*t's been going. But we'll see.

    I thought it was 7-5 honestly, and that was with DLH doing his typical fade-job late in that fight.

    He should be fighting either Cotto, Margarito or Williams - the same guys PBF is ducking. Or, in ODH's case, he should fight Wright.

    Or Forrest. Or Dzinziruk.

    Though from a competitive standpoint, it probably makes for better fights that he's looking at 147 instead of 154.

    Take Williams out of the equation. He has his hands full with Quintana, and even after his big win against Margarito he called out Mosley, not PBF.
