    Vernon had the style to beat Shane and was his kryptonite. The second fight between them was close and I was annoyed at the amount of holding Forrest did in the rematch and he made it a negative fight but I was a Shane fan.

    I did watch him do the charity work and found that amazing that he would do so much for vulnerable children. That made me a fan of his.

    Mayorga was Vernon's kryptonite and no way should he have lost to someone that raw.

    The injury you mentioned was effectively the end of his career at the top level, I thought he lost against Ike Quartey.

    His premature death was shocking and took away a very generous and noble person.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I thought he lost to Bazooka Quartey also. Speaking of Ike, he was another fighter who I thought highly of, yet didn't fulfill his potential (IMHO). Thought he fought very well vs. Oscar, looked like a beast vs. Vince Philips, but gassed late in his fights and fought inconsistently against Oba Carr and Jose Luis Lopez. The most shocking loss though, was his virtual shutout vs Fernando Vargas. That wasn't even close, and Vargas was still green.
