Forrest reminds me of the Williams situation. Williams was this guy coming up and dominating everyone and you think he looks great. Then he fights Quintana and loses a close fight which makes everyone think that he wasnt that good in the 1st place. Then he comes back in the rematch, bombs Quintana, and now everyone thinks that he's a beast and could beat Margarito again.
Forrest was seen as a top guy with mad skills and like Williams vs Quintana, he took on a fight against Mora in which everyone thought he would dominate if he wasnt washed up. Then the fight came and he looked old & washed up in losing to Mora. His name fell off the scene and everyone thought he was done. Then the rematch came and he rose to the top and showed that he was in a different class then Mora.
I still stand by what I said about Margarito-Williams. I dont know if Williams would beat Margarito in the rematch but I do know that Margarito & Arum are in no hurry to find out. Dont get me wrong, Margarito is a confident fighter who believes that he would win and Arum is confident enough in Margarito to think that he would win "but" both of them also think that it is possible that they could lose. I dont think they feel that way about anyone else. I think they both feel that Floyd is too small to beat Margarito but even if he did win then its not that bad because he's the best in the world and a huge pay day. They feel that everyone else around them are solid but are no real threat. Both Cotto & Clottey could do some things but have no real chance of winning. Thats what they think. However, they think it is possible that Williams could win. They also know that there on top right now but a loss would kill Margarito forever. If he were to lose to Williams right now then his legacy takes a huge hit and they know that. Thats why there not in a rush to take that fight until they build up that resume more and get alot more money. Then they can take that big risk.
Thats why I ask what do you think about Margarito-Forrest? I think its the perfect fight. Forrest looks good in this match because he's a tall skilled guy like Williams, he's been in a ton of big fights, he can match Margarito's size, and he would feel that Margarito is far too slow for him. Margarito would think that he did lose to a guy in Mora that I use to dominate in sparring and that Forrest did get overwhelmed by Myorga and Im even bigger & stronger then him. On top of that Forrest is a big name that could sell a fight. Everyone would want to see it. I dont think Margarito would want to go to 154 and I dont think Forrest would want to come to 147. Thats why I say they should fight at 150. If Margarito beat him then he could get away with not fighting Williams. I think alot of people would back off of the Williams fight if Margarito beat Forrest. Forrest is also a righty so Margarito wouldnt have to worry about the southpaw stuff. Forrest would feel that Margarito is just another overhyped cat that the media loves more then black guys but he cant beat a black guy. Make this happened. I still feel like Arum & Margarito want no part of Forrest & Williams because they know its a possibilty that they could lose and that they wont have that huge size advantage that they normaly do
