    If "insert name" was fighting right now he would kick Floyd ass!!

    You boys need to give it a Rest already!!! Stop with the What if's...Forrest was my Guy but he had a lot of Weakness thus he "loss fights".

    The thing We've constantly seen from Floyd is that no matter who you Put in front of him!! he will Adjust and make them fight his fight!! while making them look like ****(to the point where they wont throw and the crowd will start to Boo)!!!..

    Tell me one Floyd fight here he threw his style out the Window and fought the other fighter's style?? And u think Forrest would make him??? I was a Fan of his But I've seen many Forrest Fights where he end up fighting the other guys Fight "got Dropped or beat"......
    So Shut the **** up with the "If's"

    When the **** has Floyd fought a 6'1 WW who's as fast as him with a better jab and needed to come inside because he can't get past the jab or right?

    Styles make fights, this ones a nightmare for Floyd

    Mayorga was a ****ing monster at that point in his career.

    Floyd could handle guys bigger than him. The same looping shots Mayorga landed, Floyd could have landed. Had they fought prime for prime, Floyd takes it and easy. No way Vernon lands his right hand, which was his money shot (only shot really).

    Hearns would have been much worse. A Jab is going to be much harder for Floyd than the right hand.

    No. Winky would have been a tougher fight for Floyd.

    this is also the vernon forrest that had shoulder issue during his battle with Ricardo and after his surgery was out of boxing for a while when he came back and fought Mora..

    But this is the same Vernon when healthy dominated a young Shane Mosley ..

    Prime Forrest was a complete beast.. I don't put too much into his loss to reckless Mayorga (Mayweather fights nothing like that) and thought Forrest did enough in the second fight to win.

    I think of what he did to undefeated, completely prime Shane Mosley, who was looked at as almost invincible at the time.. I still don't think I have seen Shane that hurt... That guy certainly gives Mayweather some issues stylistically.

    What prime Forrest did to Mosley In their first fight should have been illegal. The guy had some really solid fundamental skills, good speed, and maybe was to tall for welterweight. A prime Forrest was unlike anyone Mayweather faced.
