    Should Forrest be inducted into the HOF?

    Our man Vernon, is he HOF-worthy? Four time champion at two different weight classes, beat the then-considered unbeatable Shane Mosley TWICE, stopped by Mayorga but beat him in the rematch in the opinion of many, won the WBC LMW title twice, beat Quartey, Piccirillo, Baldomir, Vince Phillips and avenged his loss to Mora...I'd say yes.

          I would say he does deserve it. I would not say he was an all time great, but he was one of the most solid fighters of this decade and perhaps could have achieved bigger things if given more high profile fights.

            I'm sorry but no.

            he didn't do enough to be consider HOF worthy...he might be a Hall of Famer in people's heart, but in the HOF? nope.

            He's definitley one of the best fighters of our era.

              Why not? I don't understand your logic really. Just by beating Mosley twice he qualifies and he also beat fine technicians like Baldomir, Mora and Piccirillo!

                  In my eyes, you're contradicting yourself.

                    I think he has a chance if guys like Jeff Fenech and Pipino Cuevas made it. To me, Forrest did more than both of them.
