I don`t think so. Philips is still a good fighter but he was never the best 154 pounder and he surely isn`t now!

Verno Phillips is a great fighter but he isn't the best junior middleweight. He is in the top ten junior middleweights though.

He's a great fighter no doubt. He's been at the top of that division for years.

I believe Quartey/Phillips could have gone either way, although I gave it to Quartey by a point. He also lost twice to Kassim Ouma, who I consider to be a better fighter as well.

Travis Simms was a good 154 pounder as well. Too bad he got caught up in legal troubles or whatnot.

I think he'd beat Forrest as well.
