    most people seem to think pac has a better chance of beating forrest but imho mayweather does

    dont think forrest would be able to crack mayweathers defense and be outboxed en route to a decision

    forrest would however beat pac, forrest was brilliant timing fast fighters with his jab and setting up feints to land huge looping shots. he'd probably have the craft to keep pac on the outside and pick his shots

I say this because I heard Floyd gave it to him several times in sparring and team Mayweather was actually looking for this fight back in the day as they were extremely confident in Floyd beating Vernon. I 100% sure Floyd saw things in Vernon's game, when they worked together, that he could easily expoit,
      how much would you have shown Floyd if you were Forrest ????
      Floyd is $$$$$$$$$

      Forrest on his best day could beat both. easy
      anything less than 100% Forrest ........ it's a toss up

        Always thought Vernon would present a lot of trouble to Mayweather especially with his reach and jab, I think Pac KO's him though.

              Don't kid yourselves, Vernon's not going to stop either of them.

                Sorry homie.....this was way b4 Floyd became a PPV attraction.

                I actually use to be a Floyd fan back in the day and followed alot of his career, and remember reading about his sparring sessions with Forrest.

                While I know you don't show everything in sparring, the way they describe those sessions and the eagerness they displayed in wanting to get that fight, let me know they were extremely confident in Floyd winning.

                Usually when a fighter comes out that quick wanting a fight, then 100% of the time they must have seen something they can exploit.

                  Vernon would wipe the floor with Pac...unless the fight was at 141lbs.

                      I don't even like Floyd, but I see him dominating Vernon something terrible......kinda like he did Shane last May.
                      i hate to disagree with you man but tito aint beating floyd....dont like his ass but he'd school tito easy...
