Why won't Vernon Forrest fight Sergio Martinez?

[Mr. Ryan]

Martinez is all wrong for Forrest. Forrest would have his hands full with Martinez, who is a southpaw slickster with decent punching power. When was the last time Forrest fought a southpaw? And don't say Mora because he's hardly a top caliber opponent and a switcher.

Anyone who makes Forrest pick up his feet and look for the target will give Forrest loads of issues. I think he'll vacate instead of fighting Martinez.

Martinez isnt so young, turning 34 in a 2 months.
and he is not very well known fighter,
and there isnt a huge Argentinian fan base in the us.

I would think Forrest wants a payday before retiring.

Still, you don't back down from your mandatory.

[MANGLER]

I wish Vernon would either fight him or take on Pwill.

If you have only on fight in you left you might be pickier than normally

If Forrest isn't ducking Martinez, then no such word exists in a boxing vocabulary.

Vernon Forrest is easily your least favorite boxer... that much is clear.

Forrest is one of my favourites too D, but it seems pretty clear that he wants no part of Martinez.

Obviously he doesn't...

Haha, I'm just saying. I know Scott has an intense dislike for Forrest... we've talked about it before.

He won't deny it.
