    I say santos for no other reason than just to unify and set up a big fight for one of the young guns like williams kirkland julio or angulo

    I'd go with Santos. Chance to to unify two belts and set up a big fight with another named attraction at 154. Paul Williams maybe? If he beats Winky.

    I'd like to see him against Santos or Dzinziruk.

    Does he not have to face Martinez though as Martinez is 'interim' champ?

    Perhaps this is why Mayorga pulled out of the Angulo fight?????

    Not so sure about that, since their last fight Trinidad, Spinks, De La Hoya and Mosley all showed you how to beat Mayorga. The left hook is the key, three of Mayorgas losses here came at the hands of vicious left hooks and Forrest has one, he just needs to sit down on that shot and fire. Spinks was a fluke IMO.
