    Vernon would give Floyd a real hard time before Floyd eventually figured him out. Then Floyd would win by UD.

    Vernon decapitates Pac ala Hearns Duran

      JMM's style gave Pac fits...Forrest would finish what JMM started.

I 100% sure Floyd saw things in Vernon's game, when they worked together, that he could easily expoit, which is why I would put a huge amount of Money on PBF UDing him. FWIW I actually think Floyd makes it look easy......no offense to the late Vernon Forrest.
          I don't ever recall reading an article where Floyd gave it to Vernon in sparring.

          However, I do remember Roger Mayweather GUSHING over Vernon Forest and at one time called him the best fighter in the game.

          Roger really respected Vernon...

              Right.. Because Vernon hits as hard as Hearns and was a huge puncher.. Pacquiao will not walk forward in straight lines and wont be an easy target and he is the bigger puncher of the two.

                You can't miss Pac with right hands and uppercuts.

                Clottey hit Pac with uppercuts AT WILL..

                Vernon's uppercuts would have Manny's head flying back like a Pez dispenser...lol....

                  Pac can't even fight on the inside...Forrest would tear him to shreds.

                  Vernon is a harder puncher than Pacman.

                      Vernon Forrest had real good power. The size and length of Forrest and Manny's willingness to trade would do him in.
