Mayweather vs Forrest at 154: Forrest wins.

117-111?

Oh, so what's Floyd going to do?

You do realize that Mora is a lanky 6 foot fighter, don't you?

Mora, while not faster than Forrest, nor with as much tallent, can get away with things that a shorter less rangy fighter can't get away with.

Mora could afford to counterpunch Forrest and possibly squeak out a decision against a guy that took him lightly.

Mayweather who is physically smaller than both men, by a NOTICABLE difference to say the least, will have one hell of a time trying to counterpunch Forrest who isn't exactly a reckless fighter.

Quartey uses an aggressive guard up style similar to Winky Wright and fights nothing like Mayweather, so that's in invalid comparison. Also, Forrest looked to be seriously affected by shoulder injuries during that fight and might have put on one of the worst performances of his career.

 

No disrespect to Quartey though who fought an intelligent fight in keeping a high guard and putting on pressure against a taller rangy boxing opponent.

I have trouble believing Mayweather would replicate a style similar to that in a fight against Forrest.

Then again, even for $20 mil, I don't if Floyd would risk his "legacy" over a fight with Vernon as it is too risky and would force Floyd to make the fight and be out of his comfort zone.

 

It's much easier to counterpunch a guy that's leaning foward and bringing the fight to you, than it is against a guy who's normally defensive.

Forrest would have a slight lean and jabbing him to the face would be INCREDIBLY difficult regardless of how much speed Floyd has with a single punch.

 

I mean ****.....don't let me just dictate the game plan. Ya'll come up with some **** to negate my analysis.

 

And you've never seen Floyd in with a guy like Forrest either. De La Hoya was face foward and aggressive, and was there to be counterpunched.

Ricky Hatton brought the fight right to Floyd, same with Baldomir and Judah for at least the first half of the fight.

Forrest could deliver pressure without throwing punches and Floyd would become increasingly frusterated as it would be very hard to land clean punches on Forrest.

 

Damn, there are a million Floyd fanatics on this site, and not one of ya'll can tell me how this fight would pan out?

Come on Fitzgeraldz.

 

Bump
