    Arguello was before my time and Forrest was sadly underrated so I didnt see alot of his fights. I'll miss Gatti the most, his wars made my decade! All tragic deaths though. RIP.

    Gatti is sad - but somehow the writing was on the wall if you looked closely. Did some of you forget about the 3am strippers and cocaine, getting stopped by Angel Manfredy days? Gatti lived hard and died strangely. Kind of adds to his legend.

    Vernon Forrest was a good guy who lived right by all accounts - and made the mistake of going after trouble AFTER it was brought upon him. The guy reacted like many Americans would have in that situation (Americans who legally pack heat) - and it backfired. What a story it would have been if he'd actually blasted the crooks that robbed him. That to me is the saddest part about Vernon's death.
