    The first Shane Mosley fight is the one I'll always remember Vernon for. Everyone thought Shane was invincible at that time so it was shocking to see him get knocked down and almost out in that second round.

        The one that hits me the hardest and did was Arturo. I knew him on a personal level so of course it's gonna hit hard.
        Vernon was a remarkable human being. You can't say nothing bad of him.
        We were blessed as fans to be able to see any of these guys fight.

          What a terrible time that was. It's sad to think about it. RIP Vernon.

                  RIP Forrest. He shocked me the first time when he stung Sugar Shane. Eyes was wide open.

                    It broke my heart when I heard the news. I miss that dude, he was truly one of the most avoided welter weights in the game.
