Thread: Verno Phillips wants Vernon Forrest

Who wins?

Love Phillips, and I am not big on Forrest but Vernon is too much for Phillips at this stage.Both are long in the tooth but Forrest too rangy,too quick & too down the middle for Phillips.

I guess Phillips is tired of being champion already

IMO, a Phillips - Spinks rematch should take priority over anything Phillips wants. Phillips had no real effective offense unless you count wild punches and far out lunges an offense and he won a few rounds off the fact that the punches he did land were a bit louder and that the world just seems to hate Cory Spinks.

Forrest is a very accurate puncher, has a good jab and movement and I think he keeps Phillips outside and I think Phillips takes quite a beating. He's not hard to hit and Vernon actually has the power to make his punches count.

This would be for the vacant Ring Jr Middleweight championship so IMO it's more important than a Spinks/ Phillips return.

I think Forrest would take a UD, but wouldn't it be great for a veteran like Phillips to grab a championship!

This fight makes sence. They are the top 2 light middleweights, unless you include ODLH. Vernon would be the favorite to win, but I like Vernos chances. His style could work well against Forrest imo.

Yeah bro it does make sense! Ring mag ranks Forrest #1 & Phillips #2. DLH is 3. But with Oscar tied up with Mayweather this is the best fight that can be made at 154 IMO
