That picture makes my eyes water a little. When we lose a boxer it hurts inside because this is my favorite sport and these guys put it all on the line. Vernon is just another name in a long list of fighters we have lost but he is also a part of a long running movie. The movie of boxing. Say what you want about his skill or the way he fought, if you respect boxing you respect Vernon.

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.

You know. **** 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 ****ing 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.

Vernon Forrest Waves good bye!
