    Who wins? Two good, but not great welterweights who are famous for major upsets over guys who were both considered P4P #1 at the time.

    Forrest by stoppage. Superior boxer and also the harder sharper puncher.

    Disagreed. I think the Honeyghan beat Curry is all wrong for Forrest.

    This one could go either way. I'd lean towards Forrest but I could see him having a ton of trouble with Honeyghan's aggression and unorthodox style.

    Forrest was a way better fighter.

    Rather see a yard showdown between honeyghan and spence. Winner to get slaughtered at 154 by Mike mccallum (rip)

    I think Honeyghan provides Forrest a lot of the same problems Mayorga did. I think Forrest would be competitive but I think he gets caught in the mid rounds with something he can’t recover from.

    Honeyghan Wasn't Quite as Balls to the Wall as Mayorga Was, But He'd Trouble Forrest Similarly, as You Stated...
