Francisco Vargas is living proof why boxers don't fight BEAST after BEAST, you get no RESPECT!!

Lomachenko has been on cruise control fighting lower opposition? Loma's opposition shits on just about everyone in boxing, ever. He fought that same Salido that you just referenced, in his second fight.

 

Loma wasn't washed by Salido. The fight could have gone either way. It's not so dissimilar to Mayweather Castillo. Pure boxers often times struggle against hard nosed pressure fighters. It's just the way boxing gods decided styles to work.

The Salido fight is what it is. Hard to say a guy with 2 Olympic gold medals was green, but it was just his 2nd fight. Since then Loma has fought Russel Jr. and Walters and easily outboxed them silly. Those two wins are among the best 2 wins in boxing of the last few years.

I too though am not completely sold on Loma. He has question marks concerning his power and left hand.

 

Francisco Vargas will always be remembered by the boxing community and more notably the Mexican boxing community with admiration and will join the ranks of the true Mexican warriors before him.

For boxers such as Vargas, to fight is where the glory is found. The fight element is an attitude, a spirit that is built upon a plethora of virtues which drives them. To simply outpoint without fighting so much, is not what they believe in. It's a test of all virtues to be able to fight right in the eye of a tornado.

Vargas is not going to get as many numbers as other certain boxers because he was never a 5 star prospect like a De La Hoya or Mayweather..who could beat truly elite fighters convincingly. Casual fans take great notice of one of these superior boxers who is willing to go outside of the comfort zone and go to war whilst fusing elite skill.

 

At 32 years old with a war like that Vargas is never going to be the same. If he was 27 he could recover, but 32 is starting to get up there for those savage wars.

 

Lol you've had me semi believing you were serious until you said "Loma won't rematch him". Now I know you're trolling.

Without a doubt, Loma has the greatest opposition per fights fought in boxing history.

 

Vargas is doomed his eyebrows are a mess his warrior mentality face first caught up with him. His deep scars are beyond repair sure will be missed.

 

Thing is if you watched his fight with Miura and Salido, you knew he got hit too much. He also started taking a L to Salido when he stopped boxing.

If Vargas spent any of the past 7 months working on D, or setting up his jab, he'd have been much better off served. Everyone knows you don't go back to back to back vs punchers.

 

Depends do you think people like gatti and ward are remembered for their fights? I guess I should of said in my eyes. I will always remember the Salido vs Vargas fight and respect both those guys for such a performance.

 

Nah. Mikey Garcia washed Salido, knocked him down 3-4 times and was beating him at boxing.

That's how you wash someone, not by playing scale games and consistently fouling.

 

As much as I respect loma, no way is Russell Jr and Waters among two of the best wins in recent years. A case can be made more for the Walters fight coz i rated walters highly before that fight but he hadnt fought in a year and was coming off a draw (although a phony draw). Russell Jr has beaten noone of note his whole career up to that point, His best win is against a tough gate keeper.
