The division seems pretty dead. This IBF-WBC unification seems to be the biggest fight at the weight at the moment. How does it go? Forrest by KO

This would be a boring fight.
Spinks never come to fight - Forrest will have to chase him around just to make a fight.
Forrest wins by UD.

spinks by UD. beating a onedimensional/very limited plodder like baldomir is one thing.
spinks is on a different level.

Yeah Vernon would have a tough time with cory as anyone would..the only guys that spinks would actually FIGHT with and not box and move are smaller guys with no real power. I would like to see spinks box the crap out of Mora..Or anybody really beat the crap out of Mora.

Spinks on points. If J. Taylor couldn't get him out of there, I don't think Vernon will either. Be damn hard for anybody to beat Spinks by clear decision.

It would be a good matchup.
The winner would be the Light Middleweight Champ, imo. The 154 division is so weak that former welterweights have to go in there and conquer it.

James Kirkland is the future of this division, at least from a television perspective. Even if he loses, you know you'll get a show.
I'd like James to get a touch more experience and then jump up against Forrest/Spinks.

I don't think it's going to get much better, either. With Taylor and Pavlik likely to vacate 160, all the natural 154s are likely to give a look at the more glamorous MW division.
In other words, you probably could get rid of 154 and the world wouldn't miss it.

Spinks should win.
This would probably ends up as a controversial SD.

Yeah I've been sayin for a while that Kirkland's the best prospect at 154. A good guy to get him ready for Spinks is Yuri Foreman. A good guy to get him for Forrest is a guy like Anthony Thompson who can test his chin which I hear from the people who spar with him is very solid.
