    Is Forest to far past his prime to fight the top MW's?

    I feel Forrest can beat someone like Sturm. Abraham and Pavlik are too big for him.

    I don't think so, but why should he? Only for a good offer should he move up and only Pavlik and Abraham have the money. Both knocks Forrest the f* out.

    Forrest can fight any WW willing to step up like Margarito or Williams. How about unification vs. Santos? That would be interesting. Maybe Mayorga at one day. There are several options at LMW. He shouldn't move up for a fat paycheck and brain damage.

    :good he could compete with sturm at 160, but not abraham or pavlik. stay at 154 and fight guys like pw, margo (if they move up) and kirkland, phillips, dzinziruk.

    Yeah.. I can't see him beating any of the top middleweights.. Hell, even some of the top welterweights could probably give him a run for his money.. He's doing just fine at 154.. He's not going anywhere..
