Why was Fernando Vargas never the same fighter after the Felix Trinidad loss? Can...

honestly, though ... it's because vargas fought a rican who just didn't lose to mexican's.
it is what it is. low blows, yeah, those happen ... but you don't hinge a career on one loss other than that loss coming at the hands of a proven guy. or, are you that weak?
tito was proven.

Originally posted by Golovkin View PostI talked to Vargas on my recent trip to Vegas about his fight with Tito. He told me that Tito's punches felt like baseball bats and that it was really suspect. Said he only remembers fragments of the fight. He also recalls Tito's people DENYING Vargas team to check his hand wrapping before the fight. I plan on going to Vegas this year again and hopefully I'll record it. It was a very interesting conversation, dude is cool as ****.
I'll take it like a grain of salt.

He was a kid fighting an all time great in his prime...the low blows didnt help...not did him being susceptible to the left hook...he often kept his right hand too far in front of his face instead of by right side of his chin, cheek or just under his chin prepped to block it.....ironically he was knokced out by Mosley and ODLH with the same shot
Had he fought some guys with decent lefts before trinidad with a lil less power, he'd have been better prepared
He just happened to be a young kid in a very good era....from 147-154 there was Tito, ODLH, Quartey, Forrest, Mosley, Castillejo, Winky Wright etc...he won some and lost some
They moved him to fast.....I thought he was in over his head vs Quartey but he proved me wrong
