I admit when he first started fighting I wasn't a fan but over the years he put on some great fights and no one can say that he didn't take on the very best out there.
Like David Reid before him his body let him down and aged him quickly but he did what he set out to do in winning titles and showing that he was a warrior until the end.
He even went so far as to question Oscar's nationality when (a) Oscar is from East LA not Oxnard (b) Oscar speaks Spanish and Vargas doesn't. So I don't know what Fatnando was talking about. Point is everytime he talks shit he gets his ass handed to him brutally
LMAO LMAO LMAO
YOU MUST BE GERMAN OR SOMETHING LOL IF YOU WERE AMERICAN OR MEXICAN AND REALLY KNEW WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT OBVIOUSLY YOU DONT. YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO TELL JUST FROM LISTENING TO VARGAS THAT HIS FIRST LANGUAGE IS SPANISH. FOR YOU TO SAY FERNANDO VARGAS DOESNT SPEAK SPANISH HAS TO MAKE YOU ONE OF THE STUPIDER POSTERS ON HERE. VARGAS SPEAKS BETTER SPANISH THEN HE DOES ENGLISH LMAO. AND TRYING TO JUSTIFY DLH IS MEXICAN BECAUSE HE IS FROM EAST LA AND VARGAS IS FROM OXNARD LMAO YOU REALLY ARE STUPID. THEY ARE BOTH LAS ANGELES AREA OXNARD PROBABLY HAS MORE MEXICANS THEN EAST LA. I WONT RESPOND TO ANY OF YOUR UNEDUCATED REPLIES
Then why mention Tyson. He never mentions a weight class just that Vargas was the youngest ever to win a major title.
I did Bro! "Vargas = Youngest MiddleWeight Champ"
"Tyson = Youngest HeavyWeight Champ"
And you are absolutely correct! Wiflredo Benitez was "THE" youngest of the them all....winning the WBA "Junior WELTER Weight" Title at age 17.
They're talking about the youngest 154 champ. Pay attention fella.
Then why mention Tyson. He never mentions a weight class just that Vargas was the youngest ever to win a major title.
Vargas has a huge heart, but I have never liked him. His disrespect for the sport and others has always irritated me. Escpecially that "fake mexican " garbage he threw at oscar. One of my favorite fights was watching DLH destroy him.
In the end, he could never back up his obnoxious talk.
ARE YOU MEXICAN??? IF YOU WERE A REAL MEXICAN WITH REAL MEXICAN HERITAGE NOT THIS AMERICAN/MEXICAN CRAP THEN YOU WOULD KNOW WHERE VARGAS COMES FROM. AND I TOO BELIEVE OSCAR IS A FAKE MEXICAN. OSCAR DONT DO SHIT FOR MEXICO SHOOT HE LIVES IN FUCKEN PUERTO RICO. VARGAS WAS AS EXCITING AS IT GOT COMING UP. YOU MUST NOT HAVE BEEN AROUND THEN. HE WAS WILLING TO FIGHT ANYONE ANYWHERE AND THAT KILLED HIM. HIM BEING A WARRIOR AND WANTING TO TAKE ON THE BEST THE WORLD HAD TO OFFER SHORTENED HIS CAREER BUT HE STILL WENT OUT AND TRIED TO BEAT THEM SO YOUNG AND STILL GAVE THEM A GOOD FIGHT. I THINK ALL JUDGES HAD OSCAR WINNING BY 1 ROUND GOING INTO THE 11TH AND HE EVEN KD TITO WITH ONE SHOT. A GOOD SOLID PUNCH. HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN SAY THAT?? GIVE FEROZ HIS RESPECT PEOPLE TALK DOWN OF THE LIKES OF MAYWEATHER SAYING HE RUNS DURING FIGHTS AND DUCKS PEOPLE AND HERE YOU HAVE THE TOTAL OPPOSITE AND STILL CANT RESPECT IT. WHAT A SHAME
He was hurt a few times, he hurt Mayorga a few times but gave a good fight, always gave a good fight whenever he fought. And he accomplished a lot. Glad to see him retire.

I never really liked Vargas, but I respect for some of the battles that he was in and he gave a good performance last night, even though he didn't look in good shape. Im happy he's done though it was obvious last night that he doesn't have anything left and he looked like a 29 yr old going on 50.
Before facing Trinidad, the most exciting fighter to watch, was "El Feroz", Fernando Vargas. That boy always came to fight, no question about that. although his career was some what short, Vargas will be inducted into the Boxing Hall of Fame. Not as an all time great, but as the YOUNGEST boxer to ever win and hold a major championship. Mike Tyson was the youngest Heavy Weight in History, at age 20, but Vargas was 2 or 3 months younger than Tyson when he won the 154 title, also at age 20, making Vargas the youngest in History.
Vargas is the only fighter that I have ever had no respect at all for. I really despise the guy. He acts like a bitch, disrespects the sport, cheats his fans, and comes into fights out of shape. No respect at all. He doesn't even deserve to be called a fighter. Fuck, even calling him a fat pig is being generous.
The only time I had an ounce of sympathy for the guy was when he got low blowed by Tito Trinidad. That was mildly fucked up, and I felt for the guy, then I realized what a little bitch he is.
He makes Floyd Mayweather look mature. That is quite a feat since Floyd is constantly acting like an 8 yearold.
That's a little over the top, the guy always fights with heart and gives it his all once he's in the ring. He had some moments in the fight tonight, he's got guts.
In saying that I'm not a Vargas fan, but calling the guy a bitch is just not on.
I like Vargas, it's sad to see him fall out like that but hey at least he still wants to be involved in Boxing, he ain't fully walking away he just not gonna be fighting, I have respected him ever since he stood up to Trinidad and even KD Tito, I thought he was DONE that 1st round, I think that fight changed his career, he was much more weary to shots and never showed that courage to such hard shots again, Trinidad does that to guys, I respect Vargas though for giving his heart out and even though he came up short a lot he always brought that Mexican bravado and repped it right, Mexicans are tough even when losing, Vargas is living proof of that.. 100
Ya know, even though he had become somewhat of a disgrace and i wanted him to lose, i kind of felt bad when was down on the mat in the first. I always liked he had pride and thats what drew him to me but i think i lost it for him when he got punked by Oscar and followed it up by juicing. Still, he had a good career and isnt even thirty yet. If his team wouldve waited a couple years before sacraficing him to Tito and Oscar, who knows what he couldve been.
