IMO, Forrest is the man with the best chance to beat Floyd. He's the only man out there that I would favor to beat him. I don't want to hear about weight classes. Floyd fought and beat a game DLH at 154 and Forrest fights in the 152-154 range. No excuses about Forrest being the bigger man. I think he would have a better chance than Cotto.

I'm sure I'll get flamed to hell. But, bring it. That's my opinion. Even at 37, I believe Vernon is the most dangerous opponent for Floyd. Unfortunetly, he's far too dangerous and not worth enough money for Floyd. I'm a Floyd fan, and my money's been with him his last 4 fights. But it wouldn't be there if he was fighting Forrest.

I think I'm gona go with you on this 1, but depends on how much Forrest has aged...

I agree that Forrest has the best chance now because of his style but I still see Mayweather coming out on top.

yeah i think he does have the best chance! cotto is a close second though!

I have NO doubt that Forrest would beat Mayweather at 154, If he can improve a bit in the stamina department then i would make him a certain favourite.

Except a competitive fight.

You're right though, Floyd's a business man, and working hard at it. My cash would be on Vernon taking Mayweather's 0. I wouldn't go so far as to say Floyd's "ducking" Vernon, like a good portion of the Cotto bandwagon, but the fact is, the risk ain't worth the reward, so I don't think the fight (Vernon v Floyd) will ever happen.

The same Forrest who got a gift decision against Ike Quartey? The same Foresst who beat a blown up, shot Baldomir? Maybe the Forrest of 6-7 years ago has a good shot at Floyd, but certainly not the 38 year old Foresst. Even then, I still se Foresst being outboxed by Mayweather. Mayweather is no Shane Mosley, that's for sure.

Woah Woah Woah there pawtna. If you're gonna hate on Forest for beating a shot Baldomir, then you gotta do the same for Floyd man. Forest fought Baldomir only a year later. You can't tell me he became "shot" during that one year.

no way mayweather fights forrest the only reason he went up to 154 was to fight dlh
floyds busy enough ducking margarito and cotto who both have a chance at beating him

Forrest is the man to beat Floyd.
