@RazR131 he got shot by some guys who tried to rob him. They came up to him at a gas station and he fought them off. Then he grabbed his gun and tried to chase them down but he couldn't catch them. He was walking back to his car and some of their friends shot him to death. He should have just left after he chased them off but he was a warrior and wanted to catch them. Too bad. He was a great guy by all accounts and from what I see here he was for sure.
very good fight! forrest had mosely's number simple as that! i think shane is more skilled in terms of natural talent but vernon has sumthin that can beat shane mosely and beat him convincingly. forrest v williams at ww would have been amazing! 2 6ft hard hiting, high punching output ww = 1 awesome fight. rip vernon, one good fighter
You gotta hand it to Shane Mosley thou.. He was the p4p king back then but still fought the top fighters out there.. Not like Floyd jr... What a joke he was for a former p4p..
forrest greatest moment and he thanked mosley for the chance.mosley also gave winky his chance at the big stage and gotta give mosley props for that. r.i.p. vernon.
Vernon Forrest was a great champion and a wonderful human being the world lost a great person......

Shut up larry,
He didn't just beat him he took him to school.
Were it not for injuries forest could well have been a superstar with the talents he had.
Hope the guy who shot him is now stewing in awful guilt for mindlessly killing such a gent.
