Answer 4

What I expect to happen: Oscar De La Hoya beats Steve Forbes by a lopsided unanimous decision.  If Grady Brewer could beat Forbes at 150 pounds, then I have no doubt that Oscar can beat him easily at that weight.  Oscar will use his jab a lot and use this fight to test out certain things that he has been working on in the gym with Floyd Mayweather, Sr.  

What I would like to see happnen: I would like for Forbes to beat Oscar so that he could spare us of Mayweather-De La Hoya 2.  I would also like to see him win because he is the huge underdog and he never talks bad about any of his opponents- he is a good, hard-working fighter that tries his best, just like Oscar, but I would like to see him pull off the upset, even though I know it won't happen.

Where Oscar goes if he wins: A big money rematch with Floyd Mayweather, Jr. in September.  Then, the final fight of his career in December against an opponent to be named, possibly; Miguel Cotto, Manny Pacquiao, or Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr.

Where Oscar goes if he loses: Don't be surprised to see the Mayweather rematch still come off if Oscar somehow loses the fight.  He is always going to have the power to make it happen because he is the richest fighter in the game and therefore, would be able to make any fight that he wants regardless of how he performs.  Remember that Zab Judah lost to Carlos Baldomir and still got the Mayweather fight.

Where Forbes goes if he wins: The cover of every sporting magazine with a "real-life Rocky!" subtitle (kind of like Buster Douglas).  In terms of fights, he would obviously be a major player after beating Oscar and would be able to get a shot against mostly anyone around his weight (140 pounds).

Where Forbes goes if he loses: He will have nothing to be ashamed of for having lost to a much bigger, and stronger fighter that he was outgunned against from the beginning.  If he manages to go the distance (which I think he will), then people will give him a lot of credit and his marketability would go up regardless after having fought the biggest name fighter of this generation.  He would still probably be able to secure a title shot against someone around his weight class (remember that he was blatantly robbed against the undefeated top contender, Demetrius Hopkins).

Answer 6

De La Hoya wins..loses to Mayweather

Answer 7

Forbes doesn't even have a punchers chance. If this is a good fight, Oscar should seriously hang them up. He says he wants to fight Floyd and Cotto. Him and Floyd will be similar to last time, Cotto might hurt him and send him to the retirement home.
