Like what?? I don't like Vargas and all but I'm curious as to how.
Like what? I don't know unified titles, 2 division champ. Did Vargas ever do that? I don't know what other examples would you like?
Fernando Vargas for sure. Doing what he did and competing at such a high level at such a young age is better than beating old and shot fighters like Kostya and Castillo which are Rickys biggest win. Fernandos lowest times are better than that 38-0 record against complete shit going into the Kostya fight.
But I expect Hatton to win the poll since there are more Hatton fans on here and new boxing fans who are more caught up with Rickys hype than Fernandos early years.
thats the only reason hes winning this poll, they dont add comments cause they got no real case and they vote for hatton, the poll is a popularity contest but the arguments are showing not to be making any case at all for rickey hatton

but drop the ball in primetime
like when vargas beat ike quartey up and he beat wright, hatton still has good wins over collazo , urango, and malignaggi (who is still a champ, hattondropped the ball in primetime both times while vargas took out quartey and wright before he even shoulda faced them , he beat those guys way too young
vargas didnt drop the ball as a olympic gold medalyst either like others
I'd say the Vargas fight was Quartey's last fight in his prime.
id disagree but even if i did, tsyzu was nowhere near his prime and coming off of years of injury due to horrible injury
good fighters are david diaz, jesus chavez, carlos quintana, etc. they are nothing special
hatton and vargas both had awesome potential
but drop the ball in primetime
he was at his best, he never reallylost to nobody in that fight and vargas was a underdog and vargas did what de la hoya couldnt doto ike, destroy ike, he fought ike before oscar did and in the wright fight, it was close but wright was never able to beat this young champion even though he was experienced, wright woulda shoulda coulda done more, he didnt
Actually, Quartey fought Vargas more than a year after he fought DLH. And keep in mind that it was only his 3rd fight in about 3 years and at a higher division.
Wright did do enough to win, in a lot of people's opinion. Wright landed more punches than Vargas. He also threw more.
how bout neither they both were just good fighters nothing special

Quartey wasn't in his prime, either. And the Wright fight was a questionable decision.

el feroz hands down, that fight with a top prime tito was one of the most exiting fights i have ever seen! feroz was ruined by trying to be great? like fight the great fighters to quick? he got payed though.:boxing:
EXACTLY this poll should not be close
"@@ alllll
vargas fought good comp but thers no better comp than mayweather pac and kosta tszyu
Nope.
Hatton fought against Mayweather and Manny and got his ass kicked. He chocked and put up two of his worst performances against the two best fighters.
Vargas fought better overall competition and put up a good fight against top notch competition.
old wasted and injured tsyzu cannot top quartey and wright at championship form and level
Quartey wasn't in his prime, either. And the Wright fight was a questionable decision.
Vargas but it's not by any significant margin.
Between the 2 Hatton has the better single W in Tszyu(who was past his best) but Vargas's resume overall I'd say is beter and he was a more exciting fighter.
