Should Vernon Forrest move up to 160?

[Vincent Gottschalk]

Oscar,Mayweather and Mayorga seem to want no part of The Viper at 154 so are no big fights there and Forrest says he wants to fight the winner of Pavlik vs Taylor. Do you guys think it's time Forrest to move up in weight or do think he would in over his head with the bigger men:huh

[KayEpps]

No - he should fight Spinks.

If he's not going to do that - then maybe he should move up.

[KCD]

I dont think he should, i dont think he will have the physical strength to cope with the guys up there, the physical tools yes but not the physical strength!

[Vincent Gottschalk]

No - he should fight Spinks.

If he's not going to do that - then maybe he should move up.

Forrest says he does not want to fight Spinks because he says there is no money in that fight:-(

[KCD]

Is it me or does every boxer seem to fight primarily for $$$?

It really pisses me off that people would choose money over a boxing legacy!

I never thought i would hear myself say this but i think the last person to primarily fight for his legacy was Lennox Lewis

[nickfoxx]

i think he wouldn't fare that poorly with jermain
having said that, i think he should stick at 154... although i don't want to see him fight spinks (i don't want to see ANYBODY fight spinks... i wish cory would retire so i wouldn't ever have to watch him box/run again)

[Paulie]

Forrest better move up to 160 because he is going down against Alcine at 154...

[Vantage_West]

154 is wide open no point going to middlewieght when he is barely even light middle.

i think 154 suits him perfectly

[Vantage_West]

No, I don't think so. The top guys at 160 are too strong for Forrestnot sure about strong but just too big.
lee,taylor,pavlik are huge at around 6'2

forrest is a decent enough 154 might as well leave it at that.

[Wilhelm]

A fight with Karmazin would be a beautiful boxing match. If there's not\ money in Spinks, go for Karmazin or Dzindziruk (sp?) and make everyone else fight you. He still has enough in the tank to make some good fights.

[psychopath]

Vernon is not young anymore. He should unify the 154 belts first before planning on anything else.

He was lucky he was able to comeback from the Mayorga losses and from the injuries.

[rodney]

Vernon Forest is not that young anymore.
And he never was physically strong.
Mayorge bullied him all over the ring.
If he really thinks he is that bad --- then fight Mayorga.
I really dont think he will.
Ricardo brought the dog out in him and that stuff does go away.

[brooklyn1550]

No, he's not strong enough to beat the elite middleweights (Pavlik and Abraham). I'd like to see him against Sturm though.

[Pimp C]

154 is garbage I say he should move up.

[maracho]

No way because he will get stomped. He needs to try and clean up his division with guys like Alcine, Dzinkiruk, Spinks, Kirkland, Julio, Mayorga, Powell, or Santos.

Or move back down if money is all he cares about.

[Steel Kelly]

You have to feel sorry for Forrest, he beats SSM twice then loses to Mayorga and DLH treats him like a leper. Can Winky make 154 and fight him?
I think Forrest should fight Mayorga again and get the win then try for Winky or Quartey again. (Ike deserves another shot)

[Symphenyceo]

move to 160 and fight who?

[Vincent Gottschalk]

move to 160 and fight who?

Felix Sturm, John Duddy, Giovanni Lorenzo, Sergio Mora, guys I think he can fight on even terms with, if were beat any of these men it would set up a big money fight with Pavlik:good

he wants money so the only big fight you listed might be strum....strum beats forrest..to big...pavlik fuck forrest up bad also if they fight

[maracho]

Yeah those guys he could possibly beat but they probably wouldnt do much more for him than those in his own weight class. If he does take a risk by moving up then it had better be a big money fight. OOps thats what the guy aboe me just said.

True and I would actually give a chance against Winky but I think Ike got ripped off.
