    It tears me up just listening to a punch drunk Fernando Vargas.

    The man is only 31 but looks like he's going on 50. Any other star ever get damaged so quickly?

    David Reid was shot as soon as he got a beat down from Tito.

    Yea Vargas is a sad case. But at least he made millions so he can enjoy the rest of his life with that.. Too much too soon..

    Also DAvid Reid..

    Lacy was overrated but became shot quickly after getting slapped for 12 rounds.

    Margarito might show signs soon. Look at how many power punches he's taken.

    Yeah,I can't even explain Vargas,he is still young and has only had 31 fights.The precociouness of it might have to do with it.

    Barrera and Morales. Too many wars. Might be the result for Vasquez/Marquez as well. Have to see next time they fight.

    Vargas was rushed, but looking back at it, with all of the health issues and weight swings, making the money as fast as he did might have been the only way.

    And Tito didn't just damage David Reid, he completely ended him. Vargas at least had a career left.

    I hear ya, riddick bowe story is sad also. Thats why no fighter should ever be called a bum or ***** or whatever. They are taking the ultimate risk. :bbb
     
  14. Meldrick Taylor was younger than Vargas when the Chavez fight ruined him..
    David Reed was another short career..
     
  15. ****ing can't believe Vargas is only 31, he's been around forever, i wonder if a lot of thse cats lie about their age:huh...
    The Tito fight, the steriods, huge weight gain in between fight's all took it's toll..
