Man Vernon, you should have just let him go. He tried to chase the thief down and now he's gone. Rest In Piece Champ.

are you on crack or drunk casue had he gave up the car he would be alive right now. lesson of this messed up situation is let them take your **** better to live another day then being 6feet under before your time. i hope his son does not follow that examble cause he will end dead aswell. life is more important then bs material objects

Its the principle behind giving up things, because its like taking your manhood, letting another man just take stuff from you.

You're absolutely right.

Besides we don't know the whole story anyway.

Maybe Vernon felt he needed to defend the kid or something else. Its hard to say without being in the mans shoes.

I respect him for going out like a pure warrior and protecting whats his.

There's honor in that.

let it go? a mans gotta do what a mans gotta do. motherf.uckas jacked him! how he gon let it go? if he had let it slide maybe hed be alive (maybe!) but hed be much more of a victim for the rest of his life.

rather die like a man then live like a coward. real talk son.

yall ******* get the f.uck up outta here.

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.

man shut the **** u ****** piece of ****en trash...

THIS ISNT HIGH SCHOOL WHERE U STAND UP TO THE BULLY...
Its a ****en car ******* wit his wife and children involved for ****s sake..

why go after them?????? why??? cause he's a criminal?? thats why??

and heres the kicker folks:

"u need to put up a fight or everyone is gon walk all over u for the rest of your life"

or if u put up a fight: you'll get brutally gunned down in front of your wife and kids u ****en moron..

Vernon DID NOT DESERVE THIS...

did he have it coming?? 100% yes.....when u run after a guy right after he robbed u, u have it coming ..why didnt he just stop running after them...just stop damn it..turn around and tell your wife and kid to run and hide in the opposite direction until he calls for help or something..

god forbid such a thing happens to u assasin but i would hope u wouldnt do what he did...SPECIFICALLY someone in vernons scenerio and position when this happened..

I read about this on ESB. What a bad loss for the boxing community. And he was doing a good deed by helping mentally challenged kids. RIP Forrest.
