Boxing Perspective: Vernon Forrest

By LaTaurus Harrison January 30th, 2008 All Boxing Articles

"The Viper" Is Running Out Of Patience!

"To have patience is the ability to wait for things that you wish to happen, happen! You sit, you toil and you tarry. You don't complain, you don't cry and you don't grumble. Soon that patience runs its course and frustration sets in. Logical becomes illogical, rational becomes irrational and sometimes in the blink of an eye, the sane becomes insane."

Allow me to introduce you to the man who these words were quoted from, a man once patient; Vernon Forrest.

Recently Forrest has gone from the quiet guy you whisper about to the loud guy you avoid. He has been on a verbal tear as of late, threatening to destroy everyone from Oscar De La Hoya to Floyd Mayweather Jr., and of course the man who has been a never ending thorn in his side, Ricardo Mayorga.

But is anyone listening? What has caused these recent outbursts from a once seemingly quiet fighter? Maybe it's time ticking on the clock?

Boxing, with the rare few exceptions of men like Bernard Hopkins and George Foreman, is a young man's game. Few are competitive at a high level past their mid 30's. Forrest recently turned 37 and has had a few major surgeries on his left arm. The combination of the two has forced Mr. Forrest to become a tyrant, a verbal bully if you will.

Forrest was once seemingly on the way to the top. In 2002, he had consecutive victories over then WBC Welterweight Champion and pound for pound elite, "Sugar" Shane Mosley. Victories that led him to being named Ring Magazines 2002 Fighter of the Year. More...

 

 

Boxing 2007: The Year That Was

By LaTaurus Harrison December 20th, 2007 All Boxing Articles

They say that pressure busts pipes. They say that only the strong survive. They say that the way one deals with adversity, not prosperity, defines them as a person. I can only wonder if these are the same "they" who said boxing was dead?

According to most media outlets, boxing was on life support, and the prognosis was bleak. If certain things didn’t happen, death was certain. UFC was sure to be the cause and main beneficiary of the old hallowed sport's demise, but out of nowhere, a miracle surfaced. No, no seas were parted, no water was turned into wine, but the dead was raised and given a new lease on life.

2007 has been the most entertaining and prosperous years for boxing in recent memory. We saw several mega fights which led to stars being born, stars fading, and other stars maintaining their pound for pound places in the hierarchy.

The first, and most important of these super fights that we were blessed to see was Floyd "Money" Mayweather fighting for the first time at junior middleweight against the living box office legend and multi division champion, Oscar De la Hoya. The fight had a build up that attracted the casual fan who wanted to see this brash young competitor who dared to challenge the darling of the sport.

While most of us would have loved to see the knock down, drag out fight that was promised, we settled for a well fought boxing exhibition by Mayweather that led him to a victory via split decision while also breaking pay per view numbers for a prize fight. More...

 

 

Boxing Perspective: Roy Jones Jr

By LaTaurus Harrison December 17th, 2007 All Boxing Articles

I'm weird. I like weird things. As a young black male growing up in the inner city, one of my favorite songs was "Bohemian Rhapsody" by the British rock group, Queen. Weird for someone around my way. Of course, I loved Tupac, and I was raised on Ice Cube and N.W.A., but I had a thing for the lyrics of ole Freddy. I'm weird like that.

So, it would only be fitting that my favorite boxer would be weird.

I'm talking about abnormal...alienish. He had the ability to throw a punch as if it was a speeding bullet. He was able to punch almost as powerful as a locomotive. He could also run around normal boxer in a single blink.

No, I'm not talking about Superman, I'm talking about Roy Levsta Jones Jr., the most talented boxer ever and a grade A weirdo.

How can someone throw their hands so fast, and still have power on the end of their punches? That's weird! How does a boxer "lose" in the Gold Medal round of the Olympics, and still be named the most outstanding boxer there? That's weird!

To understand the grace that Roy possessed in the ring, you would have to imagine the original weirdo, Michael Jackson, moonwalking...on his head...in two feet of snow...in freezing rain. Yeah, weird. More...
