Prime Vernon Forrest vs Floyd Mayweather who wins??

[Vicious]

The version that fought mosley would whoop Mayweathers ass I think.

[Iownthisforum]

No.

[glittermonkey]

And what about the version that got battered by the badly overrated, one trick pony Mayorga, directly after the Mosley fights. How do you think that Forrest does against Mayweather?

[JAHamilton77]

That one trick pony Mayorga, was quite the ass kicking machine back then. Guy used to seem indestuctable.

Yes, he did kick some ass, I still don't know quite how though. He just had zero culture, a poor defence, and those long, slow hooks. I'm glad his ability was put in some kind of perspective when he was outboxed, and outpunched by a faded Trinidad. Christ, Mayorga made Trinidad's footwork look almost Robinson like.

Mayweather wins a wide decision.

Agree, Mayweather by a clear wide UD.

Stupid stupid stupid! When we'll people understand that Mayweather is one of the best fighters of this generation and cannot be blamed because there isn't the type of oppostion available to make him shine. Leonard had Hagler, Hearns and Duran...Mayweather has DLH at best. And I don't even like Floyd. Forrest would be made to look like a golden glover against a pro if he fought Floyd.

[ringsider]

I think "The Viper" when he was primed an on, would give Mayweather a beating. Vernon is a pretty tall guy with skills at his prime. Mayweather is over rated.

[vagabundo55]

I don't quite know who i'd favor. Forest had a great jab (when he used it) and he was naturally bigger than Mayweather, we'll see how Mayweather does at 154 against an older but great fighter in De La Hoya. Until then, it would be unfair to say Mayweather would win against Forest because Mayweather didn't face the same competition at welteweight as he did at lightweight. Still though, I have a feeling Mayweather would win this.

Even more stupid stupid stupid! Mayweather is not the best fighter of ANY generation. He is probably the best boxer of this generation, he is not, was not, and never will be a FIGHTER.

HOly shit, can you say anything good about the guy. You act like if a fighter doesn't want stand and exchange because it's not his strong suit, he's not a fighter. Grow the fvck up.

No you grow the f,,uck up prick. Your the biggest pedant on this site. You pick people up on any detail of anything. If you dont like the fact your hero cant fight, deal with it. F,ucking loser.

What's that say about the rest of boxing when the top fighter in the world "can't fight"...good work, Andy, you just make it easier everytime.

[vman]

mayweather fights many styles imo. vs boxers he will fight, vs fighters he will box. the best thing about mayweather is hes versitle. he uses the opponents style to adjust his to win. its the best strategy to win is it not?.. verses slow fighters he will use his speed, vs fast fighters he will use his angles and pressure, vs brawlers he will use his legs and counter punching, etc... imo that is the reason why hes P4P best, cause he will beat his opponent the way he can be beat, instead of triing something stupid to look good.

add the fact that hes fighting guys much over his weight at the night of the fight, adds to his skills, cause not many can fight at weigh in weight.

I suggest you go and spend a year or three, watching SRR, Hank Armstrong, Archie Moore, just to name a few. If your over inflated ego will allow you to absorb knowledge you will find out about what is easy. Feel free to bring to my attntion any fight in which they run backwards for a number of rounds.

Who cares about what they did? I'm not talking about them, I'm not comparing Mayweather to any of them. I merely stated that your blind hatred for Mayweather has completely altered any piece of logic left in you head. You call the best and one of the highest paid fighters in the world not a fighter because his style doesn't entertain you. You have replaced whatever facts were in your head with off the wall opinion.

You call a guy that runs backwards for a quarter of the duration of a fight, a fighter. Then you mention opinion.

When someone can catch and make him not get away with it, then people can talk. Until someone shows that it won't against them, why stop?

PS: Apparently 3 rounds of a fight constitutes as an entire fight.

My point entirely, runners have to be caught. Fighters dont, as they dont run in the first place.

How did this thread get into BotP? When both fighters are currently active?

[JAHamilton77]

Too many noobs on this topic. Put it back in General.

It was in general, the mods moved it here for some reason.
