    A prime Vernon Forest vs the current 147-154lb

    I think he beats everyone, cleans welter and super welter out and moves up to 160 and takes GGG out also.

    INB4 some dumb ass brings up Mayorga.

    Oops.....

    But yeah. He'd murk most of the WW/JMW divisions. GGG would decapitate him.

      I would favor a prime forrest over everyone at welter including floyd

      Thurman and maidana could be some spoilers similar to mayorga

      at 154 forrest would find much harder fights vs lara and molina IMO and kirkland and angulo would be very tough to for him

        He's a better boxer than everyone on that list @154

          I think Floyd beats Forrest all day. At 154 Id favor Canelo off the top of my head but wouldnt be shocked at all if Vernon won. Id favor Lara but wouldnt be shocked if Vernon won. P4P Id pick Forrest over those 2 but at 154 Im not completely sold on him beating big strong or skillful guys

            Yeah, but i think lara and molina would cause some problems with their movement, and lara has pretty good pop

            Angulo and Kirkland would be bigger mayorgas

            Not saying forrest couldnt beat them, just that those are the toughest fights at 147/154 for him

            I think he would handle canelo pretty easily

              Cant say I'm surprised. I bet if Broner was still undefeated you would favor him too right?

                  Forrest would whoop on Kirkland really badly. Kirkland isn't as unorthodox as mayorga.

                    yeah but kirkland has a much better chance than most of the guys at 147/154

                    Especially if forrest didnt get him out early, kirkland gets warmed up i think he would pose alot of problems for forrest,,

                    Forrest likes to fight at a measured pace, and if you can speed him up like mayorga and ike did, he is not as dominant,, same thing with hopkins,, take them out of the comfort zone and they are not as good
