    his 2nd battle with Raul Frank, or the fights with Shane Mosley. Pretty much any Forrest fight; he is lenghty....hits hard and likes to "Potshot" his opponents. If you were to watch his bouts with Mayorga, you will see a different Vernon Forrest. He took WAY too many steps straight back, and was trying to counter off his back foot. That is a no-no against a freight train like Mayorga. He needed to use lateral movement.

    I would say Mosley for sure. He administered 2 clinics, and exhibited his power in the first fight by knocking Mosley down. Something that is not that easy to do.

    Sounds odd: but he reminds me of a lengthier, harder punching Winky Wright. Neither are fleet footed, but excellent boxing ability.

      I'd say Forrest by late stoppage or UD. Zab's never been in with a boxer/puncher who has size and skills comperable to Vernon. I think he'd keep Zab outside for the majority of the fight and detonate that right cross on Zabs chin late.

              I dont think Vernon is in his prime. Im not saying he's out but he has to prove it. He hasnt fought in nearly 2 years and is coming off 2 straight losses. Do you guys think that he can just jump straight back at his top with no problem? I dont know

                i think the fight is pretty even. judah has a lot of speed but forrest could keep him away with his reach. id say forrest wins by close decision

                    Forrest vs Judah is not even close. Vernon beat a better fighter in Shane Mosley, at that time, than Judah is now. He would've eaten Judah alive. Not one doubt in my mind. Those shots he snuffed Mosley out with would've have Judah breakdancing again.
