    Boxer vs Puncher. Does Forrest outbox Lopez or can Lopez drop Forrest and possibly stop him?

    I’ll take Forrest via UD. JLL doesn’t have the uncontrolled wildness of Mayorga.

    I think that Lopez would beat him. Even the version that fought Quartey- eating jabs like popcorn but hurting Ike with every punch he landed. All 7 of them. I think it is possible that he could stop Forrest.
    It could turn out the Page fight where Lopez scored a knockdown with every punch he landed-3- but lost every other second of the fight.

    At first I was agreeing with PR and siding with Forrest, but then I thought about it more and back Grey.

    I feel like Lopez at his best would catch Forrest late and stop him, while down on points, obviously.

    Agreed. On the other hand I think Mosley would be a bad matchup for Lopez.

    Yeah, Shane would just about whitewash JLL.
