Sugar Ray Leonard vs Vernon Forrest at 147.

i would think a prime Leonard is too fast for Vernon. he wins by decision.

 

Leonard was too strong for Vernon. I say Leonard by KO in 9.

 

Vernon can always pull an upset, but I'm going to play it safe, and call it a draw.

 

Styles make fights (eh Shane? ), and as Tommy showed, Leonard could struggle with a tall boxer. But that said Vernon Forrest is good but no Hitman, and at 147lbs Leonard (as much as loathe him) was better than Mosley.

I think Forrest would share the first few rounds, but Leonard would up his game from the six onwards, with Forrest bravely sucking it up until the ref saves him in about 10 or 11.

Leonard TKO11 (leading 7-3 on the cards)

 

Leonard!

 

Leonard by UD

 

this would have been a nice fight to watch...

Leonard overwhelms him within 7 rds....if Mayorga overwhelmed Forrest what would he do when Leonard savagely attacks him like when Leonard attacked Hearns ?

 

Leonard beats the brakes off of Forrest and stops him before the final round.
