First off
Both Got KNOCKED out by Trinidad
Both PISSED OFF De La HOya and got KNOCKED OUT
Both got KNOCKED OUT my MOSLEY (Vargas twice)
BUT, Mayorga beat Vargas and would have beaten him in his so called "PRIME" too.
In my opinion Vargas was a better fighter overall altough Mayorga did beat him in they're direct fight when he had more left.
Accomplishments wise I'd give it to Vargas aswell.
Vargas was a hell of a fighter, lets not forget he has wins over Wink and Ike plus he gave a rampaging peak Tito a good test.
Mayorga was a straight up Beast at 147 and under rated, he wasnt the same up in weight tho, just a tough guy with huge balls! Their fight means very little. Top scrap tho!
It's crazy to think Vargas is still only 30 or something. It's like Morales... Hard, very hard careers.
Except Morales beat won MOST of his Big name fights in his prime. Vargas didn't.
Morales is a REAL VATO. Vargas is a Wanna be Vato.
People's viewing of Vargas as a fighter is limited to when he was a shot fighter and his bouts with De La Hoya and Trinidad(both far more experienced in very competitive fights) really have no authority to give an opinion on Vargas as a fighter.
Stick to watching ho 24/7 and Manny Pacquiao and leave real oxing discussions to those who are actually fans of the sport of boxing
You've never even seen the first fight between Mosley and Vargas have you? It got stopped because Vargas's eye had swollen up like a balloon,but other than that he was in complete control of the fight and was given Mosley huge problems and this was a shot,weight drained Vargas we are talking about here.
I am a fan of the sport. I was just trying to make a discussion other than MAYWEATHER and PACQUIAO Threads. Aint threads suppose to be debates. And i see your points. But Vargas Never had a PRIME. He was DESTROYed before he could get to his Prime. He got Lucky with that Win over Winky and since then he lost to every GOOD/GREAT fighter he faced. Trinidad/De La HOya/Mosley/ and even the Great Mayorga lol.
They both lost to the same fighters but Mayorga was a beast at 147 and if Spinks wouldn't have fought him, *BAD UGLY BORING HOLDING* fight. Then i think he could have made BIGGER noise. Imagine Mayorga vs. Judah back then. Would have been a pretty good fight.
Vargas lasted longer against better versions of Tito and Oscar...
And Mayorga lasted longer against Sugar Shane.
BUt i only did this thread because of all the damn Pacquiao Mayweather repetitive threads i see every hour. :sad2:
