mayorga handled forrest
forrest handled ssm
imho, mayorga was vernons kryptonite. not too many quality guys had problems with the caveman. THIS is what leads me to believe may would have found a way to beat vernon. as talented as vernon was, there was no guy smarter than may.
just mho

Winky's style is a nightmare for Floyd. .. too bad Floyd didn't agree to a 50-50 split, this fight was gonna happen.

All of these fights boil down to Floyd not being big enough to make a Floyd gameplan work against these guys.
In order to potshop someone like Forrest who is 6'0" and had a massive reach, Floyd would have to work his way in past the consistent jab.
Working your way in past an offense only to throw one punch, has never been a winning strategy for anyone.
Floyd made it work because he fought guys close enough to his size, and generally with a reach disadvantage where he could do that from the outside and didn't have to work his way in.
Winky Wright had a heck of a jab, but don't act like Floyd's jab was all that much worse that Wright's; you add that Floyd also has that laser straight/lead right hand, his body jab, the check hook, and his own defensive shell and it's odd that you count out Floyd so clearly.
