Vernon Forrest

How about fighting someone with a pulse?

Do you really think Mora can beat him or atleast give him a lot of trouble? I'm picking Forrest to win a close decision, so yes I think he'll have to work hard for it. And if he boxes a perfect fight he could win. Of course Mora doesn't likely have the power to put Vernon in any KO jeopardy. Basically I think many here are overrating Forrest and selling Mora a bit short.

mora will defeat him like the mexican warrior he is ROFL I spit out my coke at that one

Aint too many places he can go. 154 is dead. Few big name fighters. Obviously he won't get an Oscar fight at this stage, and he was always too tricky/ not marketable enough for the Golden Boy to consider him as a viable opponent anyway. There's guys out there like Verno and Sechew he can fight, but he likely won't get paid much and few people care about those fights. I wouldn't mind seeing him and Verno actually. But real big fights elude Vernon, unless he wants to try his hand at 160 against Wink

mora will defeat him like the mexican warrior he is :lol1: good one

Mayorga would beat him a third time. I wish I had more points on this board to bet you...LOL Forrest had been fighting injured for years. This is the first time he's been healthy for quite some time. He was actually having shoulder problems when he beat Mosley. Now, I believe he would be able to keep Mayorga off of him and knock him out.

forrest vs winky would be nice at a catch weight Yeah it would be a very interesting fight

His last two opponents made Forrest appear to look great. I think Mora will bring a more difficult style. If he wins that fight handily then I'll be willing to revise my opinion. Do you really think Mora can beat him or atleast give him a lot of trouble?

Forrest looked horrible in the Ike fight because he was just coming off a shoulder surgey, but his last two fights have been great! His last two opponents made Forrest appear to look great.

Forrest is overrated, but Mayorga is way over the hill and I'd pick Forrest to beat him rather handily in a third fight. Forrest looked horrible in the Ike fight because he was just coming off a shoulder surgey, but his last two fights have been great!

that should be multiple choice. I say he should go for the rematch against mayorga and then take all the belts at 154. I think he could do both with relative ease. and yes, I think he could beat mayorga easily right now even though he got beat twice by him.

Vernon Wins a UD over Mayo at this stage Forrest is overrated, but Mayorga is way over the hill and I'd pick Forrest to beat him rather handily in a third fight.

Mayorga would beat him a third time. You never know, Mayorga isn't the same fighter neither is Forrest but Vernon seems a bit better at this stage of their careers

Move to 160, Forrest can still hang with the best of em :D Mayorga would beat him a third time.

he should retire, he doesent deserve a belt, he was gifted a win over quartey and then given a bunch of easy fights... baldomir for a vacant belt... lol and a defense against piccarillo... lol forrest is the biggest bubble just waiting to burst in the fight game right now. any world class fighter with a decent punch is going to knock him out and take his title.
