He was realy dissapointed after the NIcaruaguan beat him in the rematch. He was contimplating retirement, but I guess he decided to stick w/it last I heard ??

is planning a fight anytime soon?

I read an article in ESPN the magazine that said he was fighting Mayweather sometime this year...I guess they were WAY off.

Last I heard he was supposed to be fighting Corey Spinks for the title. Buty now that Corey is fighting Zab Judah in a rematch I guess this is out the window. He still has enough skill to battle with the best. He might have learned a hard fought lesson against Mayorga but it should make him a better fighter. I would have given him a good shot at beating Spinks though.

Think that Vernon really has a great chance of beating Spinks. That should be his goal right now if he still wants to continue boxing.
Just have to win over Corey in a convincing way...

surely not since the mayorga fight.

Someone was rattling off upcoming dates for HBO fight in the coming year and I remember Vernon being on one of the dates. We should see him again in the coming months.

He was scheduled to fight Teddy Reid on the undercard of Vitali Klitschko-Sanders on April 24, 2004 but had to pull out with a shoulder injury.
