could mayweather have beaten vernon forrest in his prime?

[Walt Liquor]

Who did Vernon beat to suggest he could beat Floyd?

Thats easy the italian runner chick piccirello, first name michelle.

[Silencers]

Of course he could have, I think it would've been a tough fight for both of them. Forrest dealt very well with technical boxers, guys with unpredictable styles offset him. Would've been a chess match IMO.

[IMDAZED]

Floyd definitely could've beaten him using his speed and legs. I do think Forrest is a little overrated. He was an excellent boxer but a tad slow and not all that powerful. He hit a fading Vince Phillips with everything but the ref and couldn't make a dent. Raul Frank. The list goes on.

vernon forrest vs floyd mayweather @ 147 who wins?

Floyd>>Mayorga

[tredh]

Floyd got by with a split nod but a couple years earlier DLH would of got him.

Man everybody knows that fight was not a split decision. Stop hanging on to that BS De la Hoya won no more than 4 rounds tops.

Tough matchup fro Floyd. Still baffles me how much Forrest struggled with Mayorga, I mean yeah the guy is awkward and wild and a weird matchup but still it's Ricardo f***ing Mayorga haha. I think the Floyd we are seeing now (grown into WW body) deals with Forrest pretty well, but it's still a tough matchup.

If there was a possibility of this fight happening, Floyd would get the brochures out and go on vacation for a year or two.

Forrest was a big puncher, big height and even a reach advantage over Floyd, don't think anyone before has had that before.

He had a great jab, and it was difficult to tell where his punches were coming from with his looping shots.

Forrest also had a great straight right.

And this fight could have happened at 154lbs, Mayweather was the WBC champ before decided to vacate and said he was going to retire.

Forrest was in line for a shot at the title, so Floyd did get those brochures out.
