Vernon Forrest Tells Margarito: "Let's Get it On"

[El Chicano]

Margarito will put ole Forrest to sleep. He'll finish what Mayorga started. I'd actually would like to see this fight. I'd love to watch Tony put hands on this fool.

good point, but int his case Arum wants no part of Forrest, like he didn't want any of williams (and he still doesn't, especially not for Cotto) because he stands to gain very little from that, that's a key difference.

Ok now I gotta take this a different rout. How do you know What Arum wants at this point? Do you work for Top Rank???

Let's see what happens in the next few days.

If Floyd really wanted to make the Oscar fight while still having Top Rank as his promoter he could have. Then it would be up to Oscar and Golden Boy to accept it. Thing is he feared that Oscar would not accept with Arum as the promoter. On top of that he didn't need Arum anymore and decided to dump him so he can get more money instead of paying Arum.

You think Arum would have skipped out on a Oscar/Floyd fight? ****, he wanted a piece of that pie because he knew it was gonna be a huge event, but he couldn't. He was pissed that he wasn't part of that fight.

Don't get things twisted bro.

Arum did get a piece of that fight. Oscar still owed him one fight from the Hopkins fight. Everything was settled when they squared away the Pacquiao mediation.

Does everyone forget that Margarito still has a fight with Judah? That in order for a fight with Forrest to even move forward, Judah has to drop out.

Poppa,

What are you talking about? How did Arum profit from the May 5th fight???

Arum has been talking about making Cotto vs. Margarito for over a year, and mentions it all the time, he's not a hard guy to read in this situation.

What you fail you realize is that Margarito DID NOT want to fight Williams. He questioned his record saying "who has Paul beaten to deserve a shot at my title". But Paul enforced his mandatory position and got the fight after the WBO threatened to strip Margarito of his title.

That's bull****. Arum wanted Margarito to drop the WBO belt and fight Cotto for his WBA title. Margarito didn't want to look like he was ducking Williams and made the deal with Goossen. Arum was going to kill the fight until Margarito signed an extension with Top Rank. This isn't my opinion, it is fact. Go check it out if you don't believe it.

I realize that. But as rumored Judah might have a long battle with his promotional company which could get in the way of that fight. Some like to say that Judah is tyring to ***** his way out of that fight....whatever it is, it might not happen.

Why is Margarito running around calling for Oscar in May and Forrest? Is he just trying to get his name out there or is he really available to fight either one of those guys?

I'd like to think he is.
