Will Forrest stop Mora?

[COACH WEBB]

Thank you sir. People forget that for the most part, Forrest hasn't been fighting those young, up-and-coming guys. By all means, Forrest should be along with Mosley, De La Hoya and Hopkins on the senior circuit making payday fights. His lack of marketability and standoffish personality have hurt him in that respect.

He's fighting a crossroads fight with Mora like he has something to prove. Forrest shouldn't even be in this kind of a fight. That said, that scenario makes him just as hungry because he hasn't gotten the big paydays a fighter as accomplished as he should have.

If Forrest loses, he goes back to square one. No hope of big paydays, nothing like that. It's over. If Mora loses, then he will get dismissed as being another Contender bum. So really, both guys everything to lose. That makes it a much more exciting kind of fight.

I agree 100%!

I've always had mixed emotions about the guy. He has been very nice to my GF over the years and she says he is a nice man. I guess so, but because I'm media he might be hostile.

The first time I met him was in 2006 before the Quartey fight. I asked him very nicely if he minded if I could ask him a few questions and he said no, that I'd have to wait until the press conference. Perhaps it was too much to ask him to do an interview at a media workout.

This is the same guy who, back in 03 in Temecula before the Mayorga fight, told my cousin Nelson "Who the f**k are you" when he wished him luck against Mayorga. Oh well...

It was a little uncalled for because I was trying to be nice and told him I would go to the ATM immediately but he wanted to hold my phone as collateral. For a guy who is very proud of his financial situation, he was sweating that $100 bucks.

I'm a fair man though and a bet is a bet. I gave him his money and wished him luck in his next fight.

I can't stand Vernon Forrest. He is a prick and a crybaby.

You're going to be surprised when Mora easily goes the distance.

Mora KO1. The avalanche that stopped Manfredo in his tracks will once again reign supreme.

Really I See A Tko In 10 Or 11 For Mora. Mora Will Wear Him Down With The Body Work That He Does And Will Tko That Bum That Is Called "the Viper". Yes I Think He Is A Bum. He Beat Mosley, Ok. But He Aint Done **** Before Or After That Fight. To Me Styles Make Fights And His Style Was Suited For The Shorter Shane. But I Bet All My Points Someone Calls Me A Dumb Ass Or ****** Ass. But Thats My Opinion.

I think he wil, remember he is coming DOWN from 160. He can take Vernon's right hand, which is his best shot.

I agree 100%!

Well, I'm going back to school hopefully in September, I'll be a Sop****re. I no longer wait tables, I did that back in West Palm Beach because I needed some work in the interim after coming down to Florida. I work hard with writing and it's all coming a long fine. Sure man, add my AIM. I'm on sometimes.

I don't understand how people are making this fight out to be a hard one for Vernon because honestly, the odds are that it will be a walk in the park. He is a class above Mora in all of his attributes. Skill, experience, devotion ect. Elvin Ayala, Peter Manfredo, ect all gave Mora trouble by simply out working him and boxing and thats where he will be out classed in this fight. Vernon is an A class fighter, Mora is a C- class fighter.

bump..since the fight is getting closer

I'm really looking forward to this one. Everyone seems to like Forrest big, but I think they're selling Mora short and it will be a very competitive fight.
