    If youre young enough to call your opponent a bum and then lose to him, you are young enough to take the criticism for being an overrated slag.

      Ok, take Mosley off his record and tell me who was the best opponent Forrest ever beat? Yet people were talking about him like he was on the top 20 P4P list a few months ago.

        Vince Phillips who was 37 at the time.

          It was not really a close fight. Vernon won a few rounds early but after Mora started getting more active it was total domination. The scoring was closer than the fight. I had it 8-4 I think to Mora and as I said Vernon had a few good rounds early based pretty much entirley on Mora's lack of activity. The rematch would be wider if anything, Vernon is 100% shot.

            True but that was far from the best Forrest. Not taking anything away from Mora, that was by far his best win.

            I dont think anyone is talking about him like hes a p4p fighter, not even close from what I see. For good reason because he isnt. Forrest isnt good now, but you guys talking like his whole career was a wash. I disagree, he was no bum. As of late he looked more impressive beating Baldomir then Mayweather did.

            I thought it was close, one judge even had it exactly even. No problem with Mora winning tho.

                He's the sole reason we're talking about Sergio Mora LOL. For the rest of his life he will know that Sergio Mora sonned him.

                    Naw Mora didnt son him. You have to insult him and his people, let him take free shots and laugh, be a 7 to 1 underdog and Knock him the **** out to son him. Not a close fight on the cards.

                    I guess Mora is Mayorgas step child now. lol
