        Crazy. Two fighters with only two losses yet this fight will probably be the end of the road for one of them.

        Just goes to show you that you gotta have the whole package [charisma, fan base, etc.] and you'll keep getting fights.

        I'm rooting for Vernon b/c he's a great person. He does a lot for the disabled. A boxer with a bigger personality would get more attention and credit for it.

          You cant really tell.

          Forrest is same as us he got his personal problems maybe his wife or kids i dont know. Or maybe the pressure of this important fight.

          dont take it too personal because at the end of the day he is human.

            Yeah, I give him the benefit of the doubt. But to say that you don't give interviews except at press cons, when the press came to see you workout, isn't cool. Its whatever though because its his decision. I never was a fan of his, and I don't think he won me over today.

            Cynical, its all love. The link works, I just need to get some more lotion.

                Forrest seemed like a real **** ever since he beat Mosley. He got all angry (although justifiably so) when Mosley said Forrest won by a headbutt and bull**** like that. Then he was all quiet and mean before the 2nd Mayorga fight after he got knocked out in the first fight. One other thing I don't like about Forrest is how he never looks at the opponent or touches gloves with them during the instructions. Watch on Saturday. I bet he just looks away from Quartey and the ref has to make him touch gloves. I don't understand where the attitude comes from. I love Forrest as a fighter, and damn, he runs a house for kids with Down Syndrome so he can't really be a ****, can he? I think he's a lot like Winky Wright and just kind of pissed that it took so long to be recognized. Funny how they both got their recognition by beating Mosley twice.

                On that note, I hope Forrest returns to greatness this weekend, even though Quartey is a cool cat.

                  I think Forrest with tense attuidue could loose to Qautrtly

                  why?

                  It a war of the jabs, and the guy who could jab will win it. If he is so intese he cant jab or slip some jabs.

                  another thing is that Forrest could be very ****y in a way because from beating Mosely twice to another two deafts to Mayorga that have sloppy defense could have made him more closed minded.

                  In the first fight he took Mayorga to lightly and that what made him loss. He though he could Ko Mayorga and it turn out to be opposite. That is a shocker

                    Maybe he just didn't want to talk that much today?

                    I know I have days when I'm like that.

                    Then again, I don't really know Forrest and I never was a fan, so I don't really care.

                    Hey Asian, can you remind me how you're able to go and see these boxers and talk to them?

                    Yeah, I knew you wouldn't get upset about the captions in this thread.

                    Ah good, I wasn't sure if it would work or not since it was my first time using that site.

                    So, do I get my billion now?
