    Thing #1. Fast forward is a great thing to have when Bornard is fighting.

    Thing #2. Vernon Forrest fights 100% better with a good left elbow and shoulder.

    Thing #3. Forrest would beat Mayorga every time. With a good left shoulder and elbow.

    Thing #4. Forrest would kill either Hopkins or Wright.

    Thing #5. Forrest could yet be a force at either jr. middle or middle weight.

    Thing #6. Baldomir has a granite chin.

    You left out #7:

    A counterpuncher's wet dream is a fight against a guy like Baldomir who never stops coming forward because they'll never look better than in a fight where they don't have to press the action.

    Hardly ridiculous. Forrest walks around at 180 and Hopkins has looked like crap for a long time.

    I am not asking him do anything but Wright and Hopkins are shot. Their fight was ugly.

    Baldo was Tailor made for Vernon. Has anyone else looked great against Bhop or Wright?? They have two of the hardest styles to fight in the sport.
