    Who looked better against Shane Mosley in your opinion? Vernon Forrest or Winky Wright?

    Forrest was on point against Mosley, man. Utterly destroyed and outboxed him.

    They were both immaculate, well schooled performances by master boxers, but a big part of Wright's gameplan was imposing his size, whereas Forrest was just that sharp.

    I give the Forrest performance the slight nod.

    Vernon Forrest is the most overrated welterweight on this forum...He got exposed by Ricardo Mayorga.

    Well I've read on this forum in the past that Montreal Duran could've beaten any fighter all the way up to Lt Heavyweight on that nights form.

    That's probably a tad more overrated than Forrest ever was methinks.

    Truth. Forrest was a terrific fighter, who made a bad mistake twice against Mayorga; First by fighting his opponents fight, and second by not fighting(Still a contentious decision that could have gone either way)
