    If Forrest were to be fighting today how well would he do against the top WW / Jr MW such as Floyd, Thurman, Spence, Lara, Andrade, Charllo, etc.
    I think the Viper would have been trouble for any current fighters. The only guy who I think would have a slight chance would have been either Spence or even Porter.

    Forrest would lose to Charlo/Lara any 154 lber in the top 5 imo and Spence. Beast Thurman and Floyd

    Better matchups at welter where he was at his best pre shoulder injury.

    Spence may have the tools to beat him but still a bit early to say.
    Porter gonna give him hell stylistically thats for sure.

    He would defeat Thurman, Garcia and Brook by varying degrees of ease.

    Horn defeats him.

    No way Horn beats Vernon, that's an insult. I agree with everything else WhataRock wrote.
    Styles make fights and Spence/Porter/Horn style makes it difficult for Viper but Spence and Porter are on a different level than Horn, imo.

    Horn doesn't beat Vernon.

    Who is this c*unt who said Horn beats him?
