Sorry about another Forrest thread but

Lol.... Im the same as you here man. I HATED him for beating Mosley...I still remain constant that it was a headbut!!!!!! But his passing has hurt me the most. Its just that hes such a good guy and he almost demanded respect with actually demanding it.

I wasnt a fan but yes the shit shocked me... Boxing gets put aside at times like this.....I hear you, I wasn't a huge fan either. After he dismantled Mosley I was pretty pissed (Mosley was my man much like Pacquiao is since I first saw live on the Tyson v Lewis under card) but for some reason this was the toughest to deal with. What makes it strange for me is that I have met Gatti and a couple of cousins of his a number of times (in Montreal, his cousin owned this little shit hole of a bar that I used to frequent during happy hour after work) yet it didn't seem to shock me as much as Forrest's passing. Anyway thanks for those who responded.

From what I always heard he was a good man, R.I.P Vernon Forrest.

Nah.I liked Vernon Forrest,he was a great guy,did charity and all that,great boxer but when your all time favorite fighter dies it hurts a lot more.

I felt that way as well but I think it's probably because he was still boxing and still had potential fights available for us to watch unlike Gatti and Arguello. May he rest in peace. ONE
