    Vernon had a great jab, but he didn't have the skill to outbox him neither the power to take him out.

    He is a pretty good actor. Was great in 'Ghost Dog' and 'Last King of Scotland'.

    I'd say he's a GREAT actor.
    Apparently has some martial arts skills too.

    Underrated actor, rate him more highly head to head than in career accomplishments. Non-elite resume, could have done better but for the lingering racial hangups of his era.

    He accomplished way more than most actors, and only had partial vision in one eye.
