I must be honest, I do not know much about Forrest. I know he got KOed badly by Mayorga and that Mayorga is still the only man to have beaten him but there was a period in time (from around 2001 to 2004) when I stopped watching boxing. I was one of those rabid Tito fans( in some ways I still am) that got extremely disapointed when he lossed and just stopped being a fan all together.

So basically what I am trying to say is I have no frigin clue if Forrest was any good or if he simply had Mosley's number (something I never really though applied in this sport). I do remember some years ago, back when Tito was thought to be unbeatable, some sports writter claimed that the man to beat him was Forrest, who at the time had no title and was a rising up and comer. I was shocked that anybody would have the "cogones" to say that some up and comer, untested contender would last more than 4 rounds in the ring with Tito, much less beat him. But then Tito lossed his aura of invincibility at the hands of Hopkins and shortly after that Forrest dominates Mosley. Even though these two events have nothing to do with eachother, sometimes I wonder if that writer know what he was saying.
