    Maybe he didn't like the terms.In one interview he said he's thinking about 3rd fight with Forrest. Well Clottey, Quintana, V.Phillips, Alcine, and Dzinziruk are still available.

    I think thats due to weight issues.

    In both fights against Forrest, despite what excuses Forrest had for the first fight, Mora looked like he deserved to be in the ring with most of the best at 154, even if he wouldn't beat most of them. But he has always said that he is a natrual 160 and was unlikely to make 154 ever again.

    Both Martinez and kirkland have some kind of future at 154 and are unlikely to move to 160 for a pointless fight.

    Then Mora should try and get in a eliminator at 160 with some one like Roman Karmarzin or David Lopez to get a shot at Pavlik :nono

    The other Sergio M. would smash him, and Kirkland would mangle him.

    Pavlik/Mora may happen some day. Mora is an absolute ass, and as a consequence of that a lot of people under rate him. He has a rather awkward style. I think that he probably could outwork and outslick most of the current top 10 at 160, so ya never know. This fight could happen. Money seems to be the only thing that stopped it from happening after Mora/Forrest I.

    At the end of the day Mora can't break an egg. He has nothing in his game that would keep Pavlik off of him. He is not nearly as fast as Taylor, and his footwork is nowhere near BHop's level. KP walks him down and takes him out in 5 rounds. It is what it is:deal

    Pavlic would KO Mora in less than 5 rounds. Mora is a heavier version of Malignaggi. All slick and no power. We all know that fighter's like him rarely goes far in boxing.

    Mora is just a B level fighter. He has talent but he needs a better trainer who teaches him to use the jab and go to the body and not jump in his opponents with those wide shots.
    He should fight K9, IMO.

    I agree Mora beats a lot of the top ten at 160 and would hunted down by Pavlik but it would a great fight Kelly sence Sergio is so well known maybe network TV would pick it up and could done in L.A.:good
