Why are people hyping Forrest so much?

[White Hope]

vernon forrest is a great fighter he beat a prime sugar shane mosley twice.... forrest can defenitly beat winky wright if winky fights as horrible as he did against bernard, and as of mayweather well floyd can certainly outbox vernon but i just dont see it.... a prime mosley is just as good as mayweather now and see what happend.... i believe vernons style is the wrong style for floyd.... long reac, hard right hand, good left jab... he aint no oscar or hatton that mayweather can pop shot all night

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.

I guess it depends in the way you beat him? I agree thou, Forrest is overrated.
