Pro boxer Vernon Forrest fatally shot in Atlanta

.Atlanta police say former professional boxer Vernon “The Viper” Forrest was killed Saturday night in an attempted car*******, according to a WSB-TV news report.

Police told WSB that Forrest stopped at a gas station to put air in the tire of his Jaguar when he was approached by two men.

Police told the station that Forrest, 38, was shot multiple times and the suspects had semi-automatic weapons.

Last fall, Forrest emphatically reclaimed his WBC 154-pound title, battering Sergio Mora in a lopsided unanimous decision that re-established the 37-year-old veteran as an elite junior middleweight.

Forrest (41-3) had lost his title to Mora in an ugly majority-decision upset June 7, 2008, but the Atlanta native had little trouble sending Mora to the first loss of his career in the mandated rematch. With one knockdown and consistently superior speed, Forrest punished Mora (21-1) in almost every round, winning each scorecard by at least seven points.

He said it - not me. The retired, and undefeated former champion, Joe Calzaghe, believes that he can beat any of the top fighters at super middleweight and light heavyweight - and he is so confident of his talents that he also believes that he can rise up in weight and beat the 6'6 WBO/IBF heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko.

I wish he would try n fight wlad!!!

It's been on the front page of the main forum for quite awhile, not sure why you chose to add another post about it here, rather than putting it into one of those threads. Can you explain your reasoning there? I'm at a loss.

P4P Calzaghe is obviously the better fighter, however I don't think he'd beat Wlad.

I beat Tyson with Calzaghe on FNR4.....but my buddy that just started playing was using Tyson.....lol

Calzaghe stands no chance of beating a man of Wlads size.

If Calzaghe feels that way he should prove it. I said this before, he should try to break Marciano and win the heavyweight title if he wants to be truly great, because his resume at supermiddle was only semi-impressive and he didn't do much of anything at light heavyweight.

Joe turned into a complete **** when he started getting regular media coverage... but he was probably joking around about this.
