Oscar was a better fighter and would have beaten Vernon. I believe Vernon's advantage over Sugar Shane was an example of the old styles make fights adage.
I wanted to see it. Trouble is most of the guys I wanted to fight DLH did not get the match or if they did it was too late. I think the tall lanky jabbers are a big style problem for Oscar. I think he much prefers the guys he can hit with jabs fairly easy. Winky Wright was another guy I wanted to see Oscar in with @ 154.
Oscar by 12 round decision. I think Oscar had the better skills. Wouldn't have been a runaway though. Forrest was talented and would have given Oscar a tough fight.
Oscar is not beating anybody at that level clearly. Vice versa he does not get beaten clearly in the welterweight divisions. Would be another very close fight which depends on the judges. You know if Oscar had trouble with Quartey, he is going to have trouble Vernon also.
Forest by clear decision. He would outjab DelaHoya. Vernon had a solid right hand to keep him honest.
