Vernon Forrest vs Winky Wright?

[The Viper]

He was a solid fighter, Long fast, good fundamentals and nice power...He was active enough to keep Winky on defense and had the power to hurt Winky and back him up...I honestly think Winky was very limited and his defense did not allow him to counter at all

Fair enough sir.....think he would have made a good match up agaist your boy money may?

[The Viper]

i pick a prime forest to winky@154

Yea his size alone would give Floyd issues

Winky wins at 154. Forrest peaked at WW.

Agreed, both were great at their relative weights

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Good fight but Forrest was more versatile and would be able to avoid being walked down by winky’s high guard n jab.

Forrest could match winkys jab and potshot from the outside.

I would favor Forrest by a slim 115-113 score

[Zaryu]

Winky simply was not active enough and Forrest would have kept him on defense

Hmmm, I'm going by memory, not sure if you looked into their average punch output, but I don't think Forrest was a high volume type (I'm thinking like Ouma) to really have that dynamic play out in the fight.

Also, thinking of the relative success Quartey had on Forrest, along with the way Winky handled Taylor's physicality and power, I'm still inclined to give Winky the edge.

Still, it would've been a good competitive fight, but that's just the way I imagine it right now.

Larry has it backwards. Winky was the one with a high output and Forrest preferred to keep the pace at a slower level. Both excellent fighters but Winky would be the favourite at 154 lbs.

Yes exactly, prime Winky had one of the best jab outputs i've seen, especially for a southpaw.
