Don't expect to see these fights anytime soon. Forrest looked damn good at jr. middleweight against Baldomir, and I think he cleans out that division with the exception of Cory Spinks. There isn't too many big ($$$) fights for Forrest at that division.

I'm not sure if Forrest could make welterweight anymore, he's pretty old, and I think he would sacrifice a lot by going down in weight. He was as good as he's ever gonna be again in his last fight, imo.


A fight with Margarito probably isn't gonna happen. Margarito won't dare move up in weight again after Daniel Santos busted his face open en route to a TKO. Cintron would be interesting, but again...... is Kermit willing to make the jump in weight classes? Probably not.... There's some good money fights at welterweight that pose much less of a risk than a Forrest fight.

Forrest's best option right now is to rematch Mayorga, but only at 154. It would help his legacy tons, make him a pretty good amount of money, and I would favor Forrest heavily in this fight. Forrest beats him convincingly enough, and maybe he could set up a big ppv with Delahoya (assuming Oscar is willing to go back up)

Oscar might actually take the fight assuming that Mayweather and Mosley both beat their upcoming opponents, because Mayweather and Mosley have already beaten Delahoya convincingly. Hatton and Cotto fights wouldn't be nearly as attractive with them coming off losses to guys that already beat Delahoya.

Oscar never fought Forrest, and Forrest beat Mosley (who beat Oscar twice) pretty one-sidedly

That would put Forrest right back in the spotlight in less than a year
