That is a good comparison. Not only the fight, but also the weights. Silva coming up and Forrest supposedly walking around at 240. Although Forrest didn't really look drawn like Hatton did for the Pacquiao fight, it still might be too much weight to lose.
I don't usually write off fighters just because of a loss or two, and I'm no neurologist or speech pathologist, but I didn't like the way Forrest sounded before this fight, and after the way he crumpled, I think he'd be wise to switch to training/coaching.
I think Evans may have ruined him...
