Anyone catch the HBO Gatti/Arguello/Forrest special?

This was definitely one of the best docs Ive seen to date. Ive never been close to sheddin a tear during a documentary til I saw this one. If you havent seen it then catch it asap. If anyone knows where I can get the DVD then let me know.

Vernon's godson was a revelation to me.

What a great little kid.

flossin that brand new jag in a bad part of the atl was not a good idea. especially if you are solo without your boys w/ a 8 year old kid. Even worse was going after the miscreants.

What happened to vernon was the epitome of When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong.

The kid had to take a wiz...what was Vernon supposed to do?

I think he just got real unlucky. I think that ****ing scumbag would've plugged him no matter what...

that's a big part of it. but if you listened to evander holyfields interview, he talked about a time when vernon chased after a no hoper who took his hat. I think vernon was a real dude who took no **** from anybody. Its a great personal strength but it can also be a great weakness that could bite you in the ass.


Yea kid needed a wiz, he got jacked for his ***els, & wallet. It should have ended there. Instead he went after them.

That Forrest part made me shed some tears actually.

[BROOKLYN CESAR]

Missed it but i like all three of these Legends of our sport!!!

[ИATAS]

yeah it was a good show.

Creepy that Vernon said to his friend he should watch out because "these things happen in threes" (after arguello/gatti died).

The gatti death seems way to su****ious to be ruled a suicide. It's inconclusive.

Arguello's life was sad. It's clear he committed suicide but only after being fuucked over yet again and humiliated.
