Could Vernon Forrest Beat Floyd Mayweather

[tills9191]

paul williams has no power behind his punches.The way he throws his punches reminds me of a rag doll.

Mosley had a **** defense and wasn't nearly as elusive/accurate Floyd is.

and Ike Quartey beat Forrest.

good point Mosley defence is non existent he relies on speed

what difference does that make if Quartey should have won or not

i thought Forrest looked good against Baldy

Yeh but thats Baldomir He hasnt looked the same since moving up in weight,light middle isnt his division,he got rocked badly a couple of times in his last fight

Paul Williams does hit hard,he just isnt a ko artist,he wears you down with his punches,thats why hes called The Punisher,his punches catch up with you down the stretch

Trouble floyd, yes, beat floyd, probably not.

Hmm,ive heard rumours that Vernon wants to come back down to Welter,so welterweight,the hottest division

[MELLY-MEL...]

i give vern the best shot to beat floyd, but i am not sure he would!

[Bonafide]

would Vernon Forrest Beat Floyd Mayweather ? this is a guy who knows how to neutralise speed ,he did it against Mosley & proceeded to dominate the fight with his JAB

Floyd was troubled by the Jab against Oscar ,although i do attribute a lot of Dela Hoya's fatigue to Floyd's brilliant defence

who thinks Forrest could trouble Floyd

This is why Forrest is one of those fighters that get no recognition. He's a darkhorse that has the style to beat alot of guys. He could have beaten Mayorga had he not been intimidated. His jab is world class and he came from the same school as Commander Evander in which he knows how to fight dirty without making it obvious. Vernon would trouble Oscar or Floyd on any given night. If a DLH/PBF 2 was to ever happen...Vernon should be on the undercard.

Forrest is too old. A question coming to my mind is, how would have Floyd done at welter in the second half of the 90s?

Pea, Oscar, Tito, Mosley, Forrest, and Quartey are a scary bunch.
