Forrest vs Mayweather at 147

[edgarg]

This fight has been talked about before in some threads but I haven't ever seen a poll. I think Vernon could have given mayweather hell, not sure he would win but definitely one of the most competitive fights you would see mayweather in. Forrest dominated mosley twice but struggled against quartey at 154. Both fast shorter guys albeit different from mayweather. How do you see this one going?

I think Forrest would win. He was a heavy puncher, rapier-like left, pretty fast, and over 6 ft. tall. Of course nothing is impossible but since it's mayweather, I don't believe he'd chose to fight him at all.

really?

I liked vernon forest a lot but really guys? really? good fighter with size and a good one-two....different league than floyd jr tho....whole different league

he's not fast enough, the height don't matter and just having power doesn't bother Floyd.

[choelzle]

yah why does it matter how much power he has....better bring something special to land that power with.

Fantasy: Floyd wins vs Vernon

reality: Floyd never ever ever takes this fight.


This is the real answer to 90% of Floyd fantasy fight threads.

Vernon beat the breaks off a prime mosley that diidnt just throw one punch at a time.



Lol at how power means nothing vs Floyd. Nothing means anything against Floyd. Vernon WAS NOT slow.

[choelzle]

I dont even really understand why this is a thread, of course floyd would win this fight....next

[Emphasis]

I think Forrest could've presented quite a challenge for Mayweather. He could actually jab, and he was naturally bigger.

I'd still go with Mayweather though, because no one has his ring IQ and he always finds a way to win.
