RIP Champ, will his belt become vacant now? The Boxing organizations should give champions who pass some sort of recognition.
I think he lost his belt when he got injured and had to postpone his latest fight which i think was supposed to be in april
but difference is hatton is an idiot who is bringing this upon himself
I agree though
And a guy carrying a gun isn't?
Neither the time nor the place.
R.I.P Forrest :(
You know. Shit like this makes me have less and less faith in humanity every day. Here was a guy who worked hard his entire life, became successful with all that sweat, blood, dedication and hard work. It then ended with it all gone because of some f*cking punks that need to be burned alive.
All we have left is memories and legacy. Memories and legacy do not cut it after something like this. He deserved to live a great life with all the sacrifices he made.
Exactly; this guy worked his whole life to reach the level of success he did, both in the boxing ring and from a financial standpoint. And just when he's about a year or two and a couple solid performances from retiring, where he could finally sit back, enjoy himself and spend time with his family, something so senseless like this happens. Life's unfair to too many good people.

This has been an awful month for boxing. Forrest was a fantastic fighter and one of the better technical boxers of the decade. Had it not been for his shoulder injuries so early into his title reign, he could have become a truly great fighter. I really believe he had that type of talent and ability. I hope he gets the respect he deserves and gets voted into the HOF.
Fitting that his final performance was a masterclass. I'll forever enjoy watching him beat down Sergio Mora over 12 lopsided rounds.
