You think so? Vernon strikes me as a guy who is desperate to put himself back in the realm of the elite. Obviously, he's not going to do that fighting some bum whose promoter pays off the WBC to the make him #$1 challenger. I think Vernon feels the injuries may have cost him a place in history, and he wants to prove himself an all-time great. It is probably too late for him to pull that off, but I think he'll take the biggest fight he can possibly get.
