Do you even know who Vargas fought? How does a loss get him into the hof? He has so many other accomplishments tito is irrelevant! But that fight only showed how good he really was. Vargas had the boxing world buzzing!!! and only people that didn't watch boxing back then will say different.
read again the topic bro.. i am trying to imply that Vargas would definitely have a HOF career if he didn't fight Tito at the early stage of his career.. he was just 22? and he was forced to the lion's den too early..
I would say no.
Reid had that bad eye. There was no way around that.
Vargas had the tools but he had a bad back and he didnt take care of himself between fights.
might be the case.. but they should have take the mandatories instead of fighting this "monster".. or should atleast check the "wrap".. :lol1:

Lots of fighters were terrific amateurs, but never became HOF fighters.
Reid's athleticism was more impressive than his skills. He looked pretty bad in some of his fights pre-Trinidad and had that droopy eye. It may have been a cash-out plan from his management who saw his vulnerabilities and figured they might as well get paid.

but reid is an olympian right? has sound boxing skills. his only mistake is trading with a prime Tito..

No.
Well, maybe Vargas. Reid wasn't good enough, and had that messed up eye as well.
