The way crybaby was able to knockdown Marinez' jab and counter with his own told me that Forrest had a chance. Look at the people Forrest has lost to, he has a problem with awkward, combine that with the speed and the no rematch clause and you get why he didn't want it.
    A good jab and pressure can work against Martinez, he's gets square sometimes which opens up more avenues for the jab but even so, it's a bad matchup for Forrest.

    He's springer than Forrest.

        He had no problem facing Mayorga twice not to mention Shane twice.

        YOU need to get real.

          He's sloppier than Forrest too.

            If Martinez is as big of a bum as you claim, why is Forrest crapping his pants at the thought of fighting him?

              He isn't crapping anything.

              Why would a guy that fought Shane twice and Mayorga again after getting KO'd crap his pants over a sloppy-ass guy like Martinez?

              All Vernon wanted was more time to heal a rib injury.

              Seems like the truth makes you crap your pants.
