How many fans of Vernon Forrest about?

Yep, agreed. He had (I guess still has) length, timing, a great jab, a well placed right hand. His shoulder injury took away his jab though, it not quite the same.

 

I can't wait to see Forrest decapitate Mora. I'm not a huge fan but I think he's a very good fighter. Arguably the best at 154 currently.

 

After what Forrest did to Mosley, he was the 1 guy both De La Hoya & Mayweather did not want to fight.
Oscar was using his beating of Mayorga as a, I beat the guy who beat the guy excuse to avoid Forrest.. IMO
(Oscar is my fav fighter, and I still say this...)

Floyd was defo going in another direction...
Also a Fernado Vargas Vs. Vernon Forrest would have explosive..

Vernon's bum shoulder really hampered him at the wrong time.
In all honesty tho I wouldn't be surprised if we get a Mayorga III.
Vernon want's that fight prob more than anything.

before it's all over for Forrest tho, I'd like to see him get that one big fight.
Or get a revenge match Vs. Mayorga (Maybe Ricardo does have his #, maybe not let's find out)

 

I would pick Alcine to UD him IF Alcine fight HIS proper fight, but the fact is Alcine is a lot like Taylor and get drive by the emotion and fight the other guy's fight

 

Forrest is a damn good boxer, id make him an even $$$ money fight against Margarito, and a live underdog against Floyd-Oscar, after all he schooled Mosley twice, but that was over shadowed by his KO loss to Mayorga who had his number, however at 35, with a bad shoulder his best days are over..:smoke

 

Forrest has been the most avoided fighter over the last 10 years. He was ODLH's mandatory for over 2 years, and Oscar never fought him. Only Mosley had the stones to take him on. He kind of let his own celebrity get to his own head and payed for it dearly, but he won the second Mayorga fight, at least unofficially. He's had the shoulder injury, which has healed. He is at an elite level again, but no one ever mentions his name. He's a great fighter and deserves a good payday.

 

i'm on this express. been a long time fan since he UD'd mosely. i love his style. textbook, and is one of the few pure boxers who make fights enjoyable. i really enjoyed the second fight he had with mayorga (who i'm also a fan of). i was actually a bit sad for vernon, as that loss hampered his career. seems to be mounting a good campaign at 154. shutout baldomir better than floyd, and absolutely schooled picirillo. thats how elite fighters perform.

 

Yeah mate that is ridiculous if people are picking Marg to beat Forrest, they need to get their head checked. Marg has trouble against guys who can jab and keep him at bay (Forrest). Forrest is also a better overall fighter. So you have a better fighter, against a guy who stylistically he matches up with very well. This is a very easy fight for Forrest, i don't understand the logic behind that pick.

 

no hate from me I like forrest a lot. And i think he still has a good run left in him. I would love to see him unify 154. And he has one hellava right hand.

 

i think noone ever mentions his name because after mayorga that dude barely fought. Just think how long ago that was and how many fights he had since then.

 

the mayorga that starched forrest that night would have been a handful to any welter.

 

I'm sure Forrest ain't a fan of him anymore lol

 

Fallacy!!!

Who avoided Forrest?????atsch NO ONE! Tell me who and when.

ANOTHER LIE! Wow! Pathetic. Forrest was NEVER DLH's Mandatory for OVER two years. DLH was fighting and beating fighters more proven than Forrest during his run at 147.

and Mayorga, and Ike Quartey and Sergio Mora who all three beat Forrest.

Forrest was a one hit wonder. Nothing more, nothing less. Judah is more proven than Forrest.

Perhaps IYO, because I recall seeing Mayorga land more punches, set the tone and pace of the fight and totally throw Forrest off his game plan.

He is NOT elite, he was only elite when he beat Mosley and fell off after he lost to Mayorga.

Forrest was nothing more than a ONE HIT WONDER.

Nonsense. Everything was nonsnse.
