    If Vernon Forrest was still alive?? Mosley-Mora PPV?

    Saturday marks a fight between Shane Mosley and Sergio Mora, both of which were dominated by the late great Vernon Forrest. It's well documented here on BoxingScene that Forrest was stripped of his title(the title Pacquiao-Margarito are now fighting for) because he apparently didn't want to fight Sergio Martinez. Though I think Sergio Martinez would've brought alot of trouble to Forrest with his speed, I think Forrest could've successfully kept him back through utilizing his long jab - the same jab that dominated Mora in their second fight.

    Though Forrests career was brought to a tragic halt over 1 year ago, one can wonder where his boxing career would be today if it wasn't for those 3 thug bastards.

    A big scale PPV fight between two former challengers of Forrest, one who defined his career, and another who brought it back, are fighting this weekend.

    So I've made this thread as a speculation/tribute thread to the late warrior and great champion.

    Where do you think Forrest would be today in the 154-160 mix?
    Who would he beat and who would he lose to?
    Thoughts on the Mosley-Mora PPV?

    Mora will be broken down.
    Not enough power, and Shane needs to feel a lot of sting to hold him back.
    Shane is easy to hit, but hits damn hard, and unless you can block him or box, he will get you.

    As for Forrest, he would still be in the mix. He could certainly handle Cotto, Marg, Williams and Martinez.

    I don't know if he would beat them all, because he ahd fof days, but he definitely could. Problem with him is he is very dangerous for thr reward.

        I don't know, Forrest wasn't exactly dominating at the time of his death. He would be a danger to everyone, of course, but I certainly don't think he would be completely dominant.
