    What does this do for his legacy?

    The above is very possible, Alcine and the rest aren't going to give a fighter of Forrest's calibre much issue.

    If he sweeps the division, gives Ike a rematch and wins convincingly I'd be willing to call his legacy pretty solid. That albatross isn't just going to go away for me on its own though.

    If Forrest cleaned out 154, it would make him a hall of famer in my book. I'd like to see him avenge his loss to Mayorga and take on Spinks, Alcine, and Dzinziruk.

    I'd like to see him knock Spinks head into next week, then get his ass kicked a third time by Mayorga.

    Can Forrest make 147? I'd like to see him up against the top fighters in the welterweight division. 154 is not an interesting weightclass.

    The two at 154 currently that I see giving him trouble are Dzinziruk or Spinks, those two could beat him and clearly depending. But he can also beat them all the same.

    Well he's already beaten Mosely twice in his prime.

    The rest of Welter aside from Floyd and Cotto is not even as good as some of the current 154 pounders, the chances of Floyd or Cotto fighting him are slim to none, even if he could make the weight, he's a nightmare for either.

    He's beaten prime mosley twice, phillips, ike controversially, piccirillio and baldomir. Right now his resume is pretty solid, i consider him better than the likes of mancini, mcguigan and ramirez. If he beats two more champs, i say he should get in with ease.

    I don't think so. McGuigan shouldn't even be in there. What Ramirez are you talking about? Jose Luis? He has to clean out the division and avenge the loss to Mayorga.

    thats what i said beat two more champs, which woudl result in him cleaning the division. He doesnt have to avenge the mayorga defeats, there are many guys that didnt avenge losses. I think he would beat cory spinks easily, both are wicked boxers, except forrest has more ko power, which would result in him winning. I really dont see alcine beating him either.

    He'd have a pretty good resume if he managed to clean out 154 - his is fairly solid as it is.

    If he avenged vs. Mayorga, he would be much better off than he is now. Mayorga isn't quite washed-up...he did get embaressed by Trinidad and DLH, but that's just a case of class and styles make fights. After the Vargas fight I think he's got some left in the tank. All Mayorga was in his "prime" was stamina, power, and chin, and of those three things the only thing he seems to semi-lack nowadays is stamina.

    Avenging the 2x Mayorga losses now would still mean quite a bit for Forrest's legacy.
