    Why are people hyping Forrest so much?

    I don't understand this at all. What has he done in his last 3 fights? Got a HUGE gift against Quartey, who everyone knows won, beat Baldomir and some guy that Mayorga already beat too.

    It's amazing how when Floyd EMBARRASES Baldomir, Floyd "ran", fought a "cab driver", "ducked Margarito", took a "safe fight", "did not take risks", but when Forrest beats him, he's all of a sudden a threat in boxing. Why the Forrest hugging and the Mayweather hate? It makes no sense.

    No, everyone doesn't know Quartey won.

    Last I checked, making a "Pff" noise and landing 1 and done accurate punches doesn't win you a fight when your opponent is out throwing and out landing you with combinations of punches. No matter how showy your punches were.

      Yeah that's a fair comment, but he is very talented. People hate Mayweather because of the person he is - because let's face it, he is a bit of a ****. But he dominated Baldomir, and is incredibly gifted. I think he is beginning to get the credit he deserves.

      But Forrest is a threat at light middle, without a doubt. I hope he fights Mayorga soon as I enjoyed the other two fights immensley, and he stands a good chance of doing well at the weight.

        im not hyping him but his style and power would give Oscar trouble. It would be a good fight to watch.

          i had money on forrest and was so sure he lost i didnt bother to hang around for the decision cause i had to work at midnight.

          my buddy called me laughing telling me that he won

          no way forrest beat quartey, throwing a bunch of **** combinations and never landing a clean punch doesent win fights

            He's dangerous. I think he's properly rated. Why is everyone
            either overrated or underrated on this site?

              i think because of the L to mayorga people dont give him his credit. even the second fight mayorga won it but i know some people think it could have gone to forrest. Mayorga maybe already beat the itallian but he couldnt do what forrest did.

                I agree to a certain extent. He's looked good in his wins, but you're right he's beaten guys he was supposed to beat. Beat a guy like Karmazin and we can talk about Forrest as one of the best fighters again.

                    Forrest lost that fight dude, it was one of the worst robberies ever, Forrest won like 4 rounds at best + he got point deduction for lowblows
