Forrest is the man to beat Floyd.

People get hardons on Forrest's fight with Mosley when it is clear as good as Mosley is he always lost to taller fighters, Mosley relied on speed not defense thats why he got hit quite often by Forrest because Forrest was timing him well. Floyd has all three speed, timing and defense. The fact of the matter is the Forrest that fought Mosley vs Mayweather would have been competitive but now I dont think Forrest can be as competitive as few years back.

Thats why i said a forrest with a great stamina beats Mayweather for me...The JAB is the key thing.

Forrest wont be able to time Mayweather as well as he did with Mosley was my point...Quartey outjabbed him but then again Quartey has a very good jab.

Am not even looking at his fight with Mosley to judge how he would do against Mayweather, I just think he has the high, straight up standing and jabbing style to give mayweather problems...I use to say Williams with another 2 or 3 fights ( To get experience) would be able to do it but forrest already has the experience but am not sure on the stamina part, Oscar with a better stamina/Jab can also do it but Mosley (Too old Now) and Cotto (Too slow) wouldnt be able to execute anything with Mayweather in the ring.

Taller opponents has not been a problem from Floyd (ex. Genaro Hernandez)

Its true Coralles included but Forrest has got an european kind of style where he doesnt throw punches downwards, He keeps his distance and throw the jab till he has you hurt or tired.

Mosley, Cotto, and Margarito all have better chances against Floyd IMO.

True. Forgot about his match with the late Chico. Didn't he get knocked down like half a dozen times?

if cotto doesn't bring enough to the table who beat mosley,
he also beat oscar in may of 2007 and oscar beat mayoraga who beat forrest twice....floyd is not gonna give forrest a shot

Floyd would probably get a lot of flack for fighting a 37 year old Forrest at this point. But I do agree, that the jab against Floyd is the key (he's too fast and slippery for much of anything else to land) and Vernon has an excellent one. I'd pay to watch it.

Yeah but Vernon beat a younger, better version of Mosley, and doesn't seem to have faded that much since then, so......
