Forrest vs Mayweather at 147

I think Forrest could've presented quite a challenge for Mayweather. He could actually jab, and he was naturally bigger. I'd still go with Mayweather though, because no one has his ring IQ and he always finds a way to win.

I dont even really understand why this is a thread, of course floyd would win this fight....next

Vernon beat the breaks off a prime mosley that diidnt just throw one punch at a time. Lol at how power means nothing vs Floyd. Nothing means anything against Floyd. Vernon WAS NOT slow.

Fantasy: Floyd wins vs Vernon reality: Floyd never ever ever takes this fight. This is the real answer to 90% of Floyd fantasy fight threads.

yah why does it matter how much power he has....better bring something special to land that power with.

he's not fast enough, the height don't matter and just having power doesn't bother Floyd.

really? I liked vernon forest a lot but really guys? really? good fighter with size and a good one-two....different league than floyd jr tho....whole different league

This fight has been talked about before in some threads but I haven't ever seen a poll. I think Vernon could have given mayweather hell, not sure he would win but definitely one of the most competitive fights you would see mayweather in. Forrest dominated mosley twice but struggled against quartey at 154. Both fast shorter guys albeit different from mayweather. How do you see this one going? I think Forrest would win. He was a heavy puncher, rapier-like left, pretty fast, and over 6 ft. tall. Of course nothing is impossible but since it's mayweather, I don't believe he'd chose to fight him at all.

Mayweather rolls to an easy UD maybe all rounds, come on now guys

Got forrest, i still believe he would be the only fighter to beat a prime Mayweather at 147 if they had ever meet.

Forrest had the style to give Mayweather hell, if not beat him.

Roger Mayweather gave Vernon mad props but mentally I wasnt impressed after what Mayagora was able to do to him and Mora also. He had some advantages but no more than what N'DOU had or Corrales had. I think Floyd could time his Jab and counter him all night. I can see a late stoppage on Floyd's part because of Forrest being frustrated. Mosley wasnt a good boxer, but a great fighter. If you get what I mean. Floyd will make you shift your feet and readjust to much for you to become comfortable and if your stamina is questionable. You want win. Vernon had a good Jab but only if you lgot caught at the end of it. Sorry Vernon. RIP........................ I think you underestimate him a little, mayorga and mora are not the same style as mayweather, I know that is probably obvious to you, but needs to be mentioned anyhow. Forrest was a better boxer and had more tools than phillip n'dou (wtf?) and even corrales who has a surprisingly short reach for a tall fighter and never fought tall anyway. This guy was an olympic silver medalist and could box and fight and knew how to fight speed. I am not saying he would win but he certainly makes a compelling case. The thing that makes mayweather the best is his consistency he always finds a way, forrest wasn't like that as we all know his level of performance fluctuated, but for a fight like mayweather I think he could rise to the occasion, huge fight, a style he likes to fight, those kinds of things can give a little edge and confidence.
