    Vernon Forrest's next fight

    Who does everyone think he is going to fight next?

    Cory Spinks has the IBF Light Middleweight belt (I think, I don't know if he vacated it).
    Joachim Alcine has the WBA Light Middleweight belt.
    Sergei Dzinkziruk has the WBO Light Middleweight belt.

    Spinks has the bigger name, but has lost 4 times. He also would have problems trying to outbox Spinks, because that is what Spinks does.

    Alcine and Dzinkziruk are both undefeated, and relatively unproven. I haven't seen either fight (yes I missed the Alcine vs. Simms fight).

    Since 154 is kind of a ****ty division, there aren't really any big names that don't have titles, so I think his best play is unifying a title.

    Who should he fight?

    THere will be couple of guy coming to from WW.

    So unification is a good move because it will make the WW superstar coming to Super WW a bigger fight that it is

        B-Talk was reporting that he would be fighting on one of the big PPVs at the end of the year against Michelle Piccirillo. Im not sure if it was a rumor or not but thats what i read

          How good is this Piccirillo guy?

          On one hand, he decisioned Spinks, which is pretty impressive (Spinks beat him in a rematch though).

          On the other hand, Mayorga beat him.

          Other than the Spinks win, he doesn't seem capable of beating top competition. Does anyone know anything about him?

            Id like to see him fight Joel Julio or Jaime Moore but he will probably fight Piccirillo.

              who is Veron Forest promoter?

              Because part of making the fight is promoters because sometimes Veron could unifiy the titles and win the titles but the problem is making the fight and the paper.

              a person with no name usally is easier to fight but the problem people will not apperiate it and fighting a name fight like Spinks is abig harder to make deal that convinece all parties.

              So I would try to go with Santos throw to the other titles and Suarz has a title fight which is going to be more competitve fight.

              Here is the list of fighters that have abit name:
              Joel Julio
              Sechwell Powell
              Michele Piccirillo- pretty good fight that
              Bradley Pryce - Big in Britian and trained by Enzo Calzaghe
              Anthony Small - akward style brit
              Travis Simms- former title holder WBA
              Mark Suarz- coming from a WW lose from Cintron but he is a good punch and pretty quick with his punchs too
              Roman Kamazin- good inside fighter
              Joshua Clottey- WW contender fought one fight at Super WW
              K-9: good contender nothing much of the title holder
              and two undeafted title holders
              Verno Phillips- good journey man

              right now Spinks may not come down to Super WW. but if he did fight with Veron Forest is good

              so good fight could be:
              Joachim Alcine- Travis Simms rematch
              Mark Saurz- K9 or Verno Phillips
              Joel Julio- Schewell Powell
              Veron Forest- Corey Spinks or Dzinkziruk
              Roman Kamazin - Michele Piccirillo

                I say he faces one of the uproven champions, gets another title to the list and maybe can help him get closer to the payday that he wants.

                  theres alot of guys in the welterweight division that wont be able to make 147 long, clottey, cintron, margarito, williams.
