Vernon Forrest appeciation thread

A good man died young. To bad the injuries played a role in his career. I think he would have given Tito and Hoya major problems to be honest.

What a good man inside and also outside the ring. He was one of the few boxers that could speak very well. Always gave his oppenents respect before and after a fight.

I am still in shock went out drinking last night and woke up at 3 to this bull****,so sad i think i will say some prayers for his son and wife.

I remember being shocked when he fought shane at that point i thought shane was the best fighter in the sport.

He was the first man ever to beat Shane Mosley. RIP Vernon Forrest

Couldn't seen a violent death like that comin. I wish I coulda seen 1 more Forrest fight. He was sittin on the shelf for a while ponderin the next move. Dude was a beast at his best. I felt he had at least 1 more big fight or title in his future as a fighter. Sucks he got taken out like that. Boxing is in a sad period wit all these deaths lately. RIP Viper. Rest easy champ.
