Vernon Forrest Shot and Killed in Atlanta

[kadyo's]

I didnt want to bring that up because i didnt want people to think i was insensitive to what happen but that was exactly what i was thinking, This is what a gun makes you do. If he didnt have a gun on him he would have probably just hand over the keys and walk away with his son or godson.

But because he had a gun on him he would probably think can give chase/go after them, Bad move.....

I didn't want to bring it up myself out of respect for the late champ, but how many death has there been because of that?

I'm depressed now. I was actually talking to Forrest on ******* last year and he answered all of my questions nicely. He was my second current favorite boxer behind Chad Dawson. Its a damn shame, and i can't wait until these 4 months is up so the new year will start, because this one has been one of the worst Ive ever seen. Michael Jackson, Arguello, Gatti, Octavious James( young boxing promoter) Marco's Nathereth and now Forrest. I mean WTF.


R.I.P. Vernon. We'll see you again one day in a better place.

listen man, when u grow up in a rough neighborhood u learn from a early age u need to protect whats yours. if u hand something over once u are done with. u need to put up a fight or everyone is gon walk all over u for the rest of your life.

its what a man does, its not about the jaguar, its about pride. to u hes handing over a car, to me hes handing over his nuts. if u want to take something from someone like forrest u better be prepared to fight for it. thats the attitude that made him survive on his block and thats what made him a great champion in the ring.

Exactly, thats the way it is these days. BUT lets end this before it gets too insensitive. Lets think about the man and the consequences, NOT the nitty gritty stuff its too early. R I P.

Vernon the Viper was the only man who knocked down Sugar Shane and twice even! And the only one who gave him a real beating. His performance in that first fight was amazing. He just kept on going and going at Mosley.
