Is Vernon Forrest a HOF'er

[1SILVA]

This has been one of the most tragic years in boxing history. What happened to Forrest was downright senseless and heartbreaking. Forrest was a humanitarian as well as a great fighter. Does he deserve induction into the IBHOF?

[Chi-town Baller]

No.

and i'm not being insensitve. If he was alive this thread wouldnt exist so it's pointless thinking it just because something tragic has happened.

No, very good fighter however. Two wins over Mosley at 147 is a solid legacy for anyone.

He was very good but not quite HOF material.

2 division Champion

is a pretty Solid Career. But im not sure if it is HOF material. But the 2 division Champion could probably help it out.

[Larry Merchant]

just look at some of recent inductees in the 140-154 range. I say yes

[#1Assassin]

YES.

i was saying so before he died also. he is one of the very best fighters of our generation and deserves to be in the HOF.

[Larry Merchant]

Is he still the Wbc champ at 154

[Chi-town Baller]

I think they're good credentials.. He was Mosleys boogie man, much in the same way Mayorga was his.. Don Curry recently won a slim vote on the same topic, & I'd say Forrest has achieved just as much with a better resume.. They say things come in 3's.. I was only writing about how good his jab was, a couple of days ago.. RIP
