Vernon Forrest VS today's welters...If I'm to be honest...

I agree with your take to a certain extent; ike did beat him imho but the lack for more career defining victories was due to injuries and because many opponents feared facing his style and size....pbf could compete with him but this would be a very winable fight for the viper That sounds reasonable.

Forrest was a very good fighter, but people forget that aside from Mosley, he didn't have a big win in his entire career. Well unless maybe you count the Quartey robbery.

he beats cotto , pacquiao , mayweather , berto , clottey. only one i think would give forrest trouble is marg because of his pressure and high punch output (that's if marg isn't shot already) prime vernon got his ass whooped by ricardo mayorga. mayweather and pacquiao wouldn't lose a round to mayorga muchless a fight. clottey would have given forest all kind of trouble as well. vernon nearly lost to a washed up ike quartey at 54. vernon was good, but far from great.

Manilla ice would have dazzled that big mother effer with his speed and courage just like he did to oscar del a hoeya Oscar was weight drained fighting Pacquiao, had this been Oscar back in the early 00s he would have ****ed Pacquiao up. Pound for pound Oscar is the better fighter but more importantly he is naturally bigger. If the likes of Oscar, Vernon, Mosley, Trinidad were competing in the welterweight division now, Pacquiao would probably be competing at 140lbs.

He wouldnt have died that easily if he was strong. Floyd and even Pacquiao handles him easily. Stop overrating people just coz they are dead. He was shot multiple times. I wouldn't call that dying easily. Against Mayweather I'm not really sure how it would end. The first four rounds would tell me how it would end, since Floyd has been back he has shown the tendency to get caught with clean shots in the opening round. He could end up like Mosley and be unable to regain momentum. That being said he looks more solid at Welterweight, so if he can go in to the 5th round I can see him winning on points. With regards to Pacquiao I think Vernon would stop him, you can't be that open against a big hitter who will smack you with bad intentions. No point mentioning Berto and Cotto.

I strongly favor him over all but Mayweather and I slightly favor him over Mayweather. Do you agree? I think he's too big for Manny, would embarrass Berto, beat Mayweather in a good outside game, punish Cotto, etc... http://www.ikigaiway.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/vernon_forrest.jpg I remember seeing a video interview with Al Haymon's right hand man (whos name i forget) saying his team was drawn to Mayweather because Floyd came to them and said he could retire Vernon Forrest. Retire, maybe not. Shutout, possibly.

Vernon is too basic to beat Floyd. He would beat Manny due to his big size advantage, and probably beat the rest of the welters. Someone mentioned a Tito Forrest fight...well Tito would probably of ripped dudes head off

I think Vernon would be a bigger favoruite over Floyd than he would Pac just based on styles. Mayweather would have to outbox Vernon which would be tough given Verns jab and size. Pac could do the Mayorga and just keep coming forward and throwing punches which I think would give him a slightly better chance. Vernon beats everyone else fairly easily.

Floyd and Pacquaio both will give him trouble, the rest he would beat easily. Shit dude went and made a prime shane scream like a lil bitch.

He is clearly a troll or a moron. Neither are worth a reply. But I agree with your assessment about jumping into a highway.

He wouldnt have died that easily if he was strong. Floyd and even Pacquiao handles him easily. Stop overrating people just coz they are dead. ****ing moron, he was shot in the back seven times. STFU. He was a great champ and I definately think he was on the same level as Manny and Floyd. RIP Champ.

He wouldnt have died that easily if he was strong. Floyd and even Pacquiao handles him easily. Stop overrating people just coz they are dead. That's a f**ked up thing to say. I bet if you got shot you'd drop to the ground in the fetal position. Now go jump in the middle of a highway and close your eyes.

i think mayorga from 6 years ago would have thrown a huge wrench in any of the top welters today

Felix trinidad vs Vernon Forest both in their prime would be EPIC

I'd give Forrest a good chance of beating everybody but Mayweather and Pacquiao, both of them would've given Forrest lots of trouble because Forrest needed to establish his range to establish his jab, those 2 are very good at changing their range so they would've been hard fights for Forrest, but if Forrest could've established his jab against either, he would definitely have a good chance at winning.

Vernon was a huge guy... he was a big Light Middle... of course he wud be fave for most of the welters...
