I was a massive Forrest fan, when he lost to Mayorga the first time, even though he got stopped, I went to the boxing gym (Golden Gloves round by yours) and just tried to copy everything I saw Forrest do in round 2 when he went to war with Mayorga and looked brilliant. Forrest is known as a fine long range technician, and it's true, he had a sweet jab and the hooks and uppercuts that came behind it were the shit, he could fight and he could box, but that said, one thing that Forrest never really employed that much was lateral movement imo, and it was always lateral movement that was Trinidad's kryptonite when he was in his prime. Trinidad never really ever learned how to cut off the ring, but to be honest, I don't think it would be a massive problem against Forrest. They'd probably end up sharp shooting against one another, and I can only see it going for Trinidad ultimately, even if he hits the deck along the way. I reckon the action would be mad entertaining. It always amazes me how, when discussing historical fighters and fantasy match-ups, that people seem to always grossly understate how bad of an idea it would be for the majority of welerweights that have lived to go into a trade off with Tito Trinidad. For most mortals it's a death wish.
How do you see it going then Sports?
