I can't see anyone like ODH taking a fight with Forrest, he's not much of a draw. Apparently they were negotiating with Pavlik but that fell through, luckily for Vernon.

No not a duck...Forrest is really not that type but with that being said...

Forrest is at the tail end of his career and he knows it...He was plauged by one thing or another over the last few years...He is looking for one big name fight with a huge payday...has been for a while now....If not for the shoulder he would have been on the elite list a long time ago and more then likely retired......

The injury robbed him of his best years as a fighter...Forrest was DAMN!! good...his only real faulter in his prime was underestimating Mayorga first time out and getting Starched big...Rematch was shaky because he was trying too hard not to get caught again but after he had his confidence back despite the loss.....

Vernon has been put in some crappy situations and now father time has caught up with him...He does not want to use what he has left to fight a younger strong fighter that will not produce a big payday

Even though Forrest himself is no draw but he is trying to maximize....

Business on his behalf but not a duck in the sense of being scared
