Forrest doesn't have a belt and is in the twilight of his career. By sheer volume punching, Paul would beat Forrest. It wouldn't be a good fight for Forrest to take. He would look worse than Winky did against Paul.

Paul is not going to land a big welterweight fight. Floyd will never fight him. Pacquiao shouldn't fight him. Mosley has said he won't fight him. He already beat Margarito. That leaves the winner of the Cotto/Clottey fight who (if Cotto) will probably fight Pacquiao.

Sturm and Abraham will never fight Paul Williams. Each is content to fight in Germany against no-name opponents. Either way, Sturm's mandatory is against Mundine. Abraham and Pavlik deserve a fight, which is tentatively scheduled to occur in January 2010.

Paul should stick to the junior middleweights. Dzinzurik is the only fighter to actually ask Paul for a fight. Go to Germany and fight him. Otherwise there is Santos and Martinez.
