    I think Forrest..is a Dark Horse in the race.. I mean he is the one GUY who TRULY has the style to beat Floyd.. NOT pressure..

    But ACCURATE punching.. Power.. Size.. and at One time the speed needed to do it..

    Speed would be the big question mark.. now..

      I actually think Forrest would give Floyd a hell of a fight.

        i agree... i think pressure was how to beat roy.. but not floyd... floyd seems to handle pressure better receiving than anyone can give it... u need to punch when he punches... someone fast... and more focus than A/D/D Judah

          As much I'm a fan of Floyd, Forrest beats him hands down. Even at 36, he is a force. He is a very smart fighter and throws punches in bunches very quick and precise.

            Forrest would win by MD. He has mayweather's kryptonite, a potent LONG jab and uncanny boxing ability to control the distance and pace of the bout.. Floyd's ability to adapt would play a major role in this bout but I still think Forrest is to big, to long, and very skilled.

                Again, this is still one of those P4P things. All of you pick Forrest because he's the naturally bigger man with skill but if Floyd had started at 140 instead of 130 and could put on weight like a natrual WW or a 154 pounder then none of you would pick Forrest.

                Still, Ive always been a big fan or Forrest and he would give Floyd problems but Im definatly not sold on his greatness. He hasnt even really beaten anyone except for Shane which was a great win in his prime but a good boxer can easily beat Shane because his D sucks and he makes no adjustments. What else has Forrest ever really done? He gets KO by Mayorga, really beat by Ike, and he beat guys like Baldy & Picirillo but they are not Floyd.

                I think Floyd gives Forrest easily as much hell as he gives Floyd. Forrest has also never fought anyone like Floyd. He has never fought anyone who could actually outbox him. Forrest also throws long punches that you can see coming and he misses way more then Floyd does. He'll throw that big looping right that Floyd can easily pick off all night. The more I think about it the more I think Floyd wins fairly comfortably. Forrest has never had a great D and he always gets hit alot even when he looks great
