How good was Vargas?

good fighter with good boxing skills but still green and was rushed too soon vs Trinidad

 

Great fighter! Not an ATG obviously as he didn't do enough!

His balls to the wall fight against Tito was outstanding and although I wanted Oscar to kick his ass I always respected him.

I had the pleasure of watching his final fight against Mayorga in LA live and it was a great time. I wish he'd won it!:?

 

There's two ways to judge him: based on what he ACHIEVED and based on the POTENTIAL he had. He was a good fighter that had the makings of a GREAT fighter. He was involved in a golden era of a glory division with some GREAT fighters in Mosely and Trinidad.

People say he was rushed into the Trinidad fight, and that is TRUE. With more experience/maturity he could have won or at worst, lost a close decision.

So depending on how you look at it, Vargas is rated as a good champion and a good fighter, with a good resume and some good wins. BUT HE COULD HAVE BEEN GREAT.

 

All high performance athletes use steroids, HGH, etc.

 

Never rated him.

 

Hes a piece of ****. Against elite competion, he wasnt ****. Worst Mexican boxer of ALL TIME.

 

He has wins over Quartey and Wright (I thought Wright won) and he gave Trinidad a great fight when he was barely old enough to buy a ****in beer.

Slight exageration dude!

 

good fighter bit arogant but trinidad ruined him never the same fighter after the beating he took cause vagas used get into wars and it does affect a fighter hes finished anyway no hall ov famer and no journeyman he got lucky against winky aswell i think he lost that fight your average champion who fought some big names and lost lol simple as that

 

Hate him because of arrogant attitude despite big losses. If youre going to act like Floyd and be a douche bag, you better be great like Floyd at the very minimum.

 

And Im talking about Vargas being an ass blood outside the ring promotions too. I witnessed him vs a casino manager several years ago when he went into a tirade when he was drunk at a craps table. He started spouting off "Do you know who I am?" and saying that type of ****. I wish the manager would have said "Ya, I know who you are. You're a 2bit second rate champion thats gotten his ass kicked in big fights". He was allowed to stay too, which was even more shitty. He should have gotten the boot. I guess thats the big perk of being "Vargas" .
