Whatever his faults may be he will always have tremendous heart. Its hard to see sometimes with all the **** talking, but the guy truly fights for his family and his fans.
It's a damn shame that he never had a trainer or manager who could have helped him to rise above his limited beginnings and leave all of that machismo silliness behind and concentrate on being a better defensive fighter and a better human being. Rather than being allowed time to grow into fighting on an elite level, he was put in with fighters that hit too hard too soon and a blind eye was turned when he wanted to live like an immature kid outside of the ring. Whomever was encouraging the young Vargas when he would spout soliloquies about how he would die in the ring before allowing himself to be defeated is in large part responsible for Vargas' brain damage today. I hope that his management was not helping him invest his money, because if so you know he will be announcing his comeback as a cruiser in a few years otherwise. For as much of an "urban businessman" as he would like to think that he is, a clothing company (marketing clothing no one wears), a few pizza parlors and a cell phone business all seem add up to bankruptcy in my mind.
