    WTF ? It seems to me that there is a lot of scum around at the moment. It used to be that people got shocked if there was a murder. Then it was shock as a mass murderer then it was outrage if a celebrity or public figure had been killed. Now a top top quality boxer is killed and it barely breaks the news. When I was about 14/15 a girl from my class murdered a woman and it broke nationwide. It was mental at our school. Nowadays though people getting killed in the local area doesn't even make the front page in the local rags. Shameful.

    RIP Vernon

    So sad. RIP.

    Such a ****ed up country, you'd still have people in the lounge defending the right to bear arms.

    Can't believe we have lost another boxer. Unreal.

    Heartbreaking this, now I start to appreciate how my dad feels when some 50 plus year old fella dies, to me without sounding disrespectful its just some 50 year old bloke, but its people he's grown up watching like ive done with Forrest.

    The circumstances of it make the story even more gut wrenching and the fact everything indicates he was a top top man.

    RIP.

    :nono 2 wrongs dont make a right young Gregory. The penal system in whichever state will decide the best form of punishment in a court resided over by the lord himself :deal

    he provided us with great memories, what a shocker he was so young and still had plenty left to give in the ring there were a couple of mouthwatering match-ups for him, my type of fighter, a true champion and a good guy

    all this reminds us of the intimacy of death
