How would Crawford had done against Vernon Forest?

[Sheldon312]

One could make the argument that prime brook = vernon forest from a skilled pov. The only difference is, vernon was taller, more athletic, and much more rangier. How would this potential bout go. I think Crawford stops vernon in 6.

Interesting fight they both very long fighters, I think TC has more to his kit, Forrest was a rhythm fighter very tight and in a groove where TC is explosive and unpredictable, and TC is not given credit for his inside game he is a very sharp puncher on the inside for being such long type, TC is a Praying Mantis always ready to pounce.

If forest was able to outbox the stronger Mayorga and go 24 rounds with him he would have no problems dealing with Crawford's arsenal.

But Mayorga knocked Forest out and then outpointed him so Forest did not go 24 rounds with Mayorga and Forest never outboxed Mayorga either because he lost on points to Mayorga in the rematch.

I agree with you. Even at age 33 Crawford has very fast accurate punches with very good power in both hands. Crawford has KOed all 5 of his welterweight opponents. Crawford has never been down and never lost a fight or even been in a close fight. He always wins by a large amount or by KO. Forest lost to Mora and lost twice to Mayorga, once by KO.

Yeah - that was a strange post...

I'd go with Bud.

He's too vicious and accurate with his shots.

He's got power in both hands and is too much for Vernon I think to handle.
