To me it is kind if a pickem fight between one of the greatest amauter fighters of all time and a guy with two wins over a prime Shane Mosley. Breland certainly did not live up to expectations after his amauter career but was still a solid pro's pro that was very tall for his weight class. To me it all comes down to how Vernon handles a taller guy/longer guy than him which really didn't happen in his career. If I have to pick someone, I am leaning towards Forest.
I'm leaning towards Forrest too, and that's with my head, cause as a New Yorker I'd love to see my boy Breland pull it off. I think Mark had more ability and more power, but I can't help but believe that Forrest had enough pop in his right hand to clock Breland, and with Breland's style he'd allow Forrest the time and distance to get off that right hand. Forrest stops him in a fight where Breland would be ahead on the cards.
