    vernon would cause big problems for pac and floyd. his height and reach give him a big advantage, not to mention he is a naturally bigger guy with a big punch.

    however, pac's southpaw stance and awkward angles would give vernon trouble as well.

      Totally agree.

      But if you were to put money on a fighter who would it be?

      I personally have Vernon beating Floyd and Pac.

          I think Forrest may be my first choice of WWs to beat Floyd of the past generation.

            How would you think he fairs against Manny?

              I think Manny stylistically matches up better with him, but I think his height and reach would give the much smaller Manny plenty of trouble. I'm going to go with Forrest by a close decision.

                Pac: He's too big unless it's at 140.

                Mayweather: Who has he beaten? If it don't make money, it don't make sense. Yadda yadda.

                  all of this^^^^ except i believe veron would take pac's head off his shoulders... just my opinion.
