    Seriously... I don't think there were this many catch weight bouts back in the days when there were half the weight classes.

      Just have it at 154 for Forrest's title, I'd pick Margarito to win.

        Forrest has never been good against pressure fighters.

        Mayorga ****ed him up, twice. No need to explain here. The re-match was not even close. I ****ING HATED the way that Forrest fought the re-match. Throwing himself to the ground and flailing around the ring from every little blow that landed on his gloves. I cannot beleive that a knock down was not called when Mayorga BLATANTLY knocked him down. Forrest fought a scared fight and looked like a little ***** in that fight. 117-111 Ricardo Mayorga.

        Baldomir lost clearly and fairly, but gave Forrest a physical beating and had his eyes brutally swollen and hurt him once. Forrest looked good in that fight, but Baldomir gave him all sorts of trouble. "Look what that man did to my face!"- Vernon Forrest. No joke. He said that.

        Quartey got to Forrest with some great stalking and won that fight.

          Quickly checked my old score card (yes I keep my score cards, dont laugh) and it turns out I scored that fight 116-113 for Mayorga. A little closer than I remember the fight being.

            I was at that fight live, and people weren't booing the decision.

              I like Margarito and his style a lot, but its getting to the point where people is doing some overrating here. Margarito is better than Mayorga, however styles makes fights and Margarito was never a one punch ****er like that. Mayorga was also able to scare Forrest and get into his head even in the press conferences. I like Forrest by decision. Margarito has not beaten an all around boxer like Forrest that will stick to his game, and his track record is not good against fighters that are as big or even bigger than he is.
