[boxerrich]

Heaven only wants the good people back. R.I.P Vernon xxx

[aaronracine]

[burqueboxer]

niggers and nigger fucken animals vermen

[ahmadcosby]

he was a good person. i meet him once ,i delivery some appliance to his newhome .sad loss

[gapmanreturns]

@ahmadcosby was it a fridge or a washing machine ?

[BlameRepublicans]

Well there goes the NRA lie "guns makes us all safer" down the tubes. No matter what anyone says - gun control = crime control. Sorry - deal with it.

[gizroc]

um no i live in the uk and guns are illegal . and we still have gun crime..if you take away guns you only take away guns from the citizens...

[BlameRepublicans]

Shooting deaths per 100,000 population in one years time:

United Kingdom = 0.38

United States = 10.3

Any questions?

[pimps11]

guns dont kill people

people kill people. no matter what the bad guys will always find a way to get guns.u just have to let the good guys have guns to to protect check and direct

stop bein a pussy.

[BlameRepublicans]

If guns don't kill people why do feel the need to have one? Gotcha. Wanting to collow the Constitution as the fore fahters wanted doesn't make me a pussy. I want to stop the needless deaths of 100,000 Americans every year. You are the pussy. is your dick so small you have to make up for it with a gun? Goofy turd.

[undeadpresident]

If you don't have a gun, and someone else does, you are at their mercy. Keep in mind the right to bear arms was written with the intent of revolution against a tyrannical government. It is naive to think that your government will always permit you your human rights.

[jtrubilla]

Drugs are illegal, but people who aren't scared of being arrested still get there hands on them. If guns were made illegal, bad guys would be the only ones with guns. Your argument is stupid, and it's sad that you would try to turn such a great man's death into a political statement.

Republicans suck, but we still have to think rationally. RIP VERNON FORREST

[BlameRepublicans]

True. Can you imagine how much worse the drug problem would be if we had almost NO laws at all? NOT implementing a law b/c it won't be 100% effective is not realistic.

[playerbco]

i hope this teaches flashy athletes braggers that people are sick blacks are lost and the scum of the earth for money and fame some do anythingmy motto is stay alive so u can avenge your peoples death and be careful where u go its bad out there

[alfreezee]

flashy, just because you cant afford to live luxurious doesn't mean other people who worked hard for their money cant live more comfortable.If u died it was your time to go dont be afraid to live your life to the most you can so you can TRuLY be ALIVE..

[baritodirt1986]

he wasnt flashy or a bragger r u hi

[playerbco]

i wish i could go to the funeral i wish the duds who did this something really bad happens to them i hope all atlanta thuggs get hiv and die and hope t.i. get killed all them rappers from down there fuking down south pussies this is a tragedy and im hurt he was a good man and chosen god fuk u obama if u dont do something about guns motherfuker.

[alfreezee]

Guns Illegal or Legal they'll be a way to get it on the streets thats all simple as that and for what the government has planned for the american people in the comming years your gonna wish you had guns search up Alex Jones and you'll see what i am talkin about

[ELmaggo10]

SAD.

R.I.P. Vernon 'The Viper' Forrest.

[mrtasty10]

rest in peace big warrior , great man out of the ring , my condolences to your family.....

[AtlantaGa24]

its so sad and the crazy thing is the day before he got shot he twittered "Man I had a nightmare last nite I dreamt I come home and found 4 guys were breaking into my house. I pull my heater and it was empty they chased me and was about to shoot me then I woke up.The first thing I did was get my heater and made sure it was loaded.That dream will not come true" and if you dont believe me look it up my mom allways told me ever dream has a meaning to it...

[AtlantaGa24]

he posted the tweet on July 19th not the day before he got shot my bad

[jsparky321]

My favorite Vernon Forrest moment was when he went into the stands after the second Mosely fight to hug the Destiny's Child guys that he brought to the fight. I'm going from memory, but I think he was still wearing his gloves.

[delirious44]

I was pissed when Forrest beat Mosely because i'm Shane supporter . But Vernon was a classy gutsy champion and his work outside the ring with undeprivelliged kids was exemplary great guy . The fagots who did this TO HIM HAVE TO PAY

[joevet66]

I know in my heart that Our Lord put his arm around you Vernon and said "Vernon you did good son, in helping my children who could not help themselves"

[ssirmark]

The first shane mo fight

[Jimmynable]

R.I.P viper great boxer and great person too, I hope they execute the guys responsible I'm not American so I don't know if that could happen in this particular state.

[cstrait]

georgia does have the death penalty. not sure how liberally they use it. i say lethal injection is too nice for the ignorant street trash who did this to vernon.

[klodrik007]

So sad, so sad. GREAT boxer and person!

Wake up USA, guns DO kill.............

[jeffrailey]

I prayed and I will continue to pray for Vernon Forrest and his family. I pray that my LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST

blesses and comforts Vernon's girlfriend,

son, and family. My coach, myself, and fellow boxers are praying for you.

Vernon was a role model and set a good example outside of the ring. R.I.P. May God Bless You.

[barryjgillis]

Rest In Peace Vernon... He did alot of charitable work... He was a CLASS A act...

[cougarfighting]

R.I.P Vernon Forrest

[ekiezama]

1 day when all the other sport will need desperatly oudience boxing will not help the fucking shit media , boxing deserve respect , is incredible not notice even in fox news or bbc news ,

[TheTrillz]

Makes me sad that Forrest and Gatti are dead. But it also makes me mad that all the sports channels nor the news channels even address the careers of these two phenom boxers. No wonder why people never hear about boxing anymore, sport channels refuse to cover events and sadly even a great boxer's death. :(

[kaukui]

3 dead in 3 weeks? R.I.P

[LuchyLefty]

bad moment for the intere world of boxing

[DofaDofah]

I liked him, he was a solid boxer.

[makajam]

This messed up my Sunday...gonna pray for the viper's family today....my favorite moment would be his charity of course and personality...I still remember his post fight interview after he beat Sergio Mora...so down to earth and spoke like a real champ!

[DonCorleone87]

Vernon Forrest vs. Ricardo Mayorga

when Mayorga stuck out his chin, that was classic. But Forrest was a pretty good fighter no doubt.

[dannybadz]

RIP

[beckytiq]

[kidmarkay2210]

[Frozalone]

R.I.P

RIP.

[blaow7]

This type of stuff needs to stop. Rest in peace champ.

[darksaw5]

Hatred and crime will always exist in our world. The only thing we can do is try to lower it.

[bran11888]

this is so terrible. i hope they catch the people who did this.

[crackhead71234]

i'm not a fan of forrest as a boxer (good riddance to shit in that respect), but its an absolute disgrace that someone can be gunned down in the street like that. i hope the scum that did it get whats coming to them.

[nappyg1]

you mean boxing rite as to the comment shit in that respect but you are rite man getting killed over a freaking car. Hell they should be getting mad at the condition of the gov.

[paperboy215]

he was a great fighter. 41-3 is a great record. and he never ducked anyone.

[jordanav]

R.I.P to Vernon Forrest hope they catch those cowards.

[Foolay408]

Always so close to ring immortality, but immortal to those he helped nonetheless...
