Because he wants another rematch before his career is over.
Mayorga and Forrest have fought twice already, you think they should fight again?
edit: It was Wensday Night Fights not Friday Night Fights.
He would KO Mayorga in 2 at this weight.
How did you all see WNF? They had baseball on here.
It was on ESPN 2. They had somehting else scheduled on it for my programing. But it was really WNF instead.
Just to clarify this for those who missed the full statement.
Vernon said he HOPED Mayorga would win so that he can rematch him but he later stated that in his oppinion he THINKS that Vargas will win.
maybe forrest should fight tszyu to avenge his amateur loss or take on Quartey in a rematch. forrest got a gift from the judges against quartey.
i was thinkin the same thing i would like to see him fight ike again, cuz i believe quartey won their first fight.
Mayorga's hype game is better than his fight game. All his antics and comical insults have resulted in him having huge paydays with the big names without beating anyone
Ha ha I wish i would have watched. I like Vernon but u already got beat twice, move on to other big fights.
Well, that's the problem. For Forrest there are no big fights out there. A Quartey rematch is probably the best he can hope for...because even a Spinks unification fight would not be televised by Showtime or HBO.
HBO would show Forrest-Quartey II on BAD going by this past weekend's standard, lol.
If Mayorga wins, he will have options at 147 (where he says he's going back, though who knows if he can/will make the weight) as a gatekeeper of the division.
Who wouldn't want to see Mayorga in with any of the welters? Margarito-Mayorga would be FUN, even if one-sided. If no one else will fight Williams, you know Margo would. Cintron-Mayorga would be awesome, too. I'm not saying he is a serious contender at welter, but he makes fun fights--even if he would be a huge underdog in those fights.
