Re: Vernon Forrest Dead?
OMG ! sad news
RIP Vernon. Classy guy and a classy fighter
What is it with all these deaths. Bad news comes in threes. Alexis Arguello, Thunder Gatti and now Vernon. Another murder too!! Terrible times

He is probably best remembered for his stunning victory over the undefeated best p4p fighter at the time Sugar Shane Mosley.
RIP Vernon Forrest

Re: Vernon Forrest Dead?
this is getting ridiculous already, i'm seriously starting to get a bit numb to the whole thing honestly, the man still had the tools to be one of the best at 154, and i have said it time and time before, that i thought Forrest could beat Kirkland, now we'll never get to know
RIP Forrest

Re: Vernon Forrest Dead?
RIP to a real underrated fighter. He was a 2 weight champ & beat some real quality names, although his two convincing decisions over Mosley are what stick in the mind for most. He seemed to lack the motivation at times to beat the 'weaker' fighters like Mayorga (he won the 2nd fight) or Mora, but still he had a career that was on a similar plane IMO to the likes Kostya Tszyu. He will be sorely missed & one of my personal favourites of this decade, in the way Gatti was to others.
RIP Champ

Confirmed
I am speechless and disheartened.. The tragedies that have ripped a giant hole in this sport lately are painful to say the least, youngblood brought up a point last month about people die everyday, but when you look at what alot of these fighters have given us its hard not to make a point of mentioning it or feel grief and even make sort of a big deal

Re: Vernon Forrest Dead?
Unbelievable. Another fighter taken away at a tragically young age.
Forrest was a quality fighter, he will be missed.
Re: Vernon Forrest Dead?
Jesus, tragedy strikes again, this has been a really rough year for boxing. R.I.P Vernon Forrest.....extremely talented fighter, got some bad break screwed his shoulder up, never got to fight De la Hoya or Trinidad or Vargas, I would have liked to see all of those.

Re: Vernon Forrest Dead?
Well there is no denying there is currently an anomaly happening, with an unusual amount of well-known boxers dying in violent and unnatural circumstances. I think it is variance that just happens to be hitting close to home for us as boxing fans. Has little to do with them being boxers, and just that, an anomaly. And yes, it does suck.Originally Posted by JT Rock

Vernon Forrest, he had earned his spot as the top of the 154 heap. He had earned his spot as a great human with his charity work. You will be missed Vernon RIP Champ
