Sergio Martinez vs Vernon Forrest

Edge to Maravilla. I think he had superior one punch power to Mosleys or Mayorgas.

 

Owned. Forrest is severly overrated on this forum.

 

Here are the titleholders and champions that Forrest defeated in his career.

Carlos Baldomir
Sergio Mora
Picarillo
Vince Phillips
Ike Quartey. (Yeah, it was a controversial decision...But then again, so was Forrest-Mayorga II.)

Plus some decent contenders like Samaniego, Stone and Oliviera.

Plus Shane Mosley...Twice.

In comparison, here are the titleholders that Maravilla defeated.

Pavlik
Williams
Dzinzuruk
Cintron (technically a draw, but we'll toss it in there because it was so obviously highway robbery)

...And that's it.

So, all things considered, Viper's resume is just as good as Maravilla's.















That being said, I think Martinez might have been able to out-hustle a version of the Viper that was slowing down, had they fought back in 2009. Martinez MD in a closely contested affair.
