May have happened 5-10 years ago, but not now. Forrest a little too shopworn to beat Margarito via superwide UD.
At 154 Forrest wins. He will give Margo fits with his jab and he has more than enough pop to get Margo's respect. He wins this fight by UD.
It's unbelievable isnt it? Forrest would KILL Margarito, Margarito is nothing like Mayorga and does not hit nearly as hard as Mayo did at 147, nor does he have the chin Mayo had, not even close. How this guy got so overrated is beyond me. Look at how Clottey tagged his ass at will in the first 4, are we to believe that Forrest isn't going to be landing his best shots off the end of that long jab? And do some of you not realise that Forrest has a very good defence? How about lengthy Paul Williams easily outboxing and outworking Margarito? A guy with NO defence and nothing in the same region of boxing skill as Forrest, nor any power. Margarito is not even in this league.... slap yourselves. Sometimes I am just utterly amazed. This would be a shutout, probably a stoppage on accumulation for Forrest.
Jesus...hyperbole much lil Floyd? atsch This is you're typical, long-winded but not saying anything post that you do. opinion only backed by opinion. You're pretty weak when Brooklyn isn't here to make posts for you to agree with. :roll:
Forrest decision. I think he could use his jab and technical skills to outbox Margarito much like Clottey did for the first 4 rounds. Margarito will take a few of rounds due to workrate and being the agressor, but Forrest should be able to exploit Marg's defencive holes and pull out a decision. Forrest UD 117-111:good
Forrest isn't dropping a round to that guy if he's 100% mate! He's the worst style for Margarito out of the entire 147-154 lot.
Margarito by decision or possible stoppage ... I don't know if Forrest's shoulder would hold up against someone like Margarito ... he had trouble with Ike Quartey ...
Margarito beats Forrest? What the hell is this? How the hell do you get clowned by a technically poor fighter like Paul Williams, and now you are going to deal with the jab and length of Forrest?
patsch ..... My guess is that some of the jokers here have never seen Forrest, or didn't pay much attention to him lately.
Clottey didn't use his jab and outbox Margarito? WTF were you watching? Clottey's speed is what won him maybe 3 AT best of the first 4 rounds.
Clotttey still lost though, thats what some of you tend to forget, or are you going to admit the hand issue as evidence in this case? if so you must take into consideration Margaritos wrist and ankle as well, you must also take into consideration that Clottey himself said that his knuckle was only bruised, this was said in a pre fight interview with Karyan Bryant just prior to the fight with Corrales so in other words Clottey never broke a single bone.
