    **** me. That's awful. He was a quality fighter! I haven't seen this on some boxing websites I've been on. How the **** did I miss it? Is this true.

    Bad news to start the day he was a gifted fighter, one of the better fighters of this era on his day.

    He was recently strippedof his title. The **** who did this deserves to die

    I'm really shocked

    Its not as if I have reason to believe Vernon Forest was any kind of Gangster type - unless somebody knows otherwise

    Vernon Forest was a businessman type - with his own real estate business, etc

    This is shocking ...........

    I'll remember him for taking a 'roided up Mosley to school, twice.

    RIP Champ.

    so he became a world champion and rich and famous and successful and invested in real estate

    then he was fitting tyres on a car and some morons came along and tried to **** with him and he ended up having his life taken away for that..........:-(

    And thats all she wrote.........................
