    Forrests jab wouldve neutralized floyds ability to counter the way he likes to do. Forrests reach advantage would win him the fight imo. I dont think itd be easy but Forrest at his best gives anyone a good fight.

    Castillo was somewhat robotic .

    Yet Most people would tell you Castillo was the first man to beat Floyd .

    a 35 year old Forrest was nowhere near his best in the Quartey fight .

    Forrest badly lost that fight BTW . ROBBERY .

    Sure it would be tough. Cause Forrest has some physical advantages over Floyd. Floyd wouldnt be able to just cruise to victory I agree with that.

    But its all about adjustments.

    Forrest has never shown us he can pull out a win by going to plan B and C.

    If you only fight one way Floyd will figure you out.

    But what do you mean specifically by 'as seasoned as Forrest'?

    Floyd doesnt go anywhere near Forrest. Too good for not enough money.

    This could be a shut out , as styles go Pacquiao would have a better chance due to his knockout power.

    Styles make fights because the Floyd would hammer Pacquiao .

    Well, Floyd would be on his bicycle the entire fight and fight very defensively. Much more so than Benitez.

    So a Knock out might not happen in a 12 round contest.Anyways,Hearns would at least win in very dominating fashion (e.g 10 rounds to 2)

    Against a 6 foot tall rangy fighter with an excellent jab and decent power, Floyd's adjustments would be limited however.

    That's why it makes the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight so special and it's still the fight that most Boxing fans would love to see.

    The fight should have been made years ago!!! In my view, the fight has lost of its attractiveness and most importantly the outcome would not have the same meaning now.

    Same thing with tyson-lewis for example.
