Prime Vernon Forrest would have had a good chance

I agree, a prime Oscar De La Hoya could probably beat Floyd too.

 

Roger agrees with you and so do I!

 

Floyd's fantasy fights should all be 130-135.

That was his apex.

 

Vernon would be a tough challenge for Floyd.

 

The death of Vernon Forrest seriously shook me up, I still can't believe a good young lad like he is gone. Excellent boxers and more importantly excellent role models like Vernon does not come around too often. :-(


Vernon brings the ruckus at 147lbs, and best believe he'd have given Floyd a struggle for it.

 

He was. Fought and beat Mosley twice, but then loses to that awkward ass Mayorga not once, but twice. I think after that, he had shoulder problems. Even with that, he won a title at 154. I don't think he would have beaten PBF at 147.

 

What was the last jabbing orthodox fighter floyd beat??

 

He was truly a role model outside the ring. All that work he did was amazing.

 

Oscar. But the jab is something of a dying art these days. Not a ton of fighters with great jabs around.

 

Yea, but the only problem was he abandoned it during the PBF fight. It could of been a much better fight with it.

 

The Vernon that fought Shane was an absolute demon.

 

Forrest was a much avoided boxer,which wasn't helped with Duva offering cheap purses to those rated above him.

 

Forrest wouldve won.
