Vernon Forrest vs Floyd mayweather

Ban that *******.

As for the matchup, I see Vernon winning a close desicion, but it could go either way.

 

Vernan by late TKO. Mosley has a better chin than Floyd and Forrest dropped him heavily.

 

BAN, not cool:nono

 

I agree, this would be a nightmare fight for Floyd. Don't get me wrong, with Mayweather's skills, talent, and boxing IQ, he could beat Forrest, but it sure wouldn't be easy, and he wouldn't look good doing it.

 

*******

 

I think Vernon wins this on points. I don't think he hits Floyd with the right hand like he did Mosley, but he would get close and keep Floyd from doing what he wants to and Vernon would win a close decision.

 

Mosley has a better chin than Floyd? Is that becasue he takes clean shots than Floyd.

 

Shame on you.

And I say Floyd by SD or Vernon by late TKO. Depends on whether the Viper could catch Floyd with his jab.

RIP

 

Mosley is a warrior and Floyd is a handpicker.

 

Mosley has fewer options and has to take what is given to him. Does he WANT to fight Berto?

 

The Viper picks up a clear UD in this one. Length, good defense of his own, great jab, power, etc...wrong fight for Floyd imo.

 

Vernon has the tools control the fight from the outside. He has the height, the reach, the boxing ability, and an excellent jab that he used to dominate a PFP #1 Mosley at the time he fought him. The same Mosley that managed to get passed a prime Oscar De La Hoya's jab when Floyd barely managed to defeat an old ODLH who didn't have the speed or fluidity he did as a young man.

If Floyd stays on the outside, he gets picked apart, bloodied, and stopped late if Vernon chooses to capitalize and go for the kill.

Vernon also has the size, strength and defense, to control Floyd, a light hitter at welterweight on the inside. And while I think Floyd is a great fighter and I'm sure he knows how to fight an aggressive fight, evidence from the past shows that he's uncomfortable in this position.

Unfortunately, in this fight he will have no choice to but press the fight and be aggressive as from the outside he has no chance. But still, Floyd's lack of power means that he won't be able to hurt Forrest who would use his size and strength to break Floyd down.

Honestly, this is a terrible match up for Floyd who has never fought this type of fighter in his career. Floyd would be lucky to get out of this fight on his feet.

But then again, you gotta keep in mind that styles make fights and guys like Tommy Hearns, Sugar Ray Leonard, Sugar Ray Robinson, and Vernon Forrest are nightmare matchups for him.

 

Nice. :thumbsup
