    Sergio Martinez is Ready For a Vernon Forrest Collision

    BoxingScene.com was informed by promoter Lou DiBella that Sergio Martinez (44-1, 24KOs) is ready for a potential showdown with WBC junior middleweight champion Vernon Forrest (41-3, 29KOs). Martinez captured the WBC's interim title on Saturday night with an eight-round stoppage over Alex Bunema at the Pechanga Resort & Casino in Temecula, California. The performance won over the HBO announcers, who were comparing his style and speed to that of a young Roy Jones Jr. He also made a very good impression on the bigwigs at HBO. [details]

      No chance Forrest ever gets in the ring with Martinez. I'll put my points on that.

            Yep, no 39 year old will, unless they have nothing to lose. If Forrest can't find a older slower guy to fight he will have to turn to him though. The new guy wins easy if that happens.

                  I agree, but I dont see Margarito moving up to MW for some time right now. He has much unfinished bussiness at 147...
