Vargas couldn't have come up at a worse point. He had so many great fighters from 147-154 in their prime when he was coming through.
Mosley,Oscar,Trinidad,Winky,Forrest, etc.....
What a time that was at those weights.
Fanboy Larry.
Exactly now tell that to that cry baby Larry he waited for Pacquaio to get knock out and slow down while he's popping HGH and steroids pills when he's not in training
Exactly this. Larry is the biggest Floyd Fanboy I ever seen! Him and Dunn. Dunn is on my block list and Larry is knocking on the door.
winning most of your fights by gift decisions (split, majority, and close ud) fighting c - level fighters? pretty sure great fighters accomplished more than fraud's mediocre accomplishments.
mediocre accomplishments by a mediocre fighter.
You do realize that 26 of his 47 wins are by way of knockout, right? You do know that means that your statement above is totally silly even if you assume every non-knockout fight was close and no one but CJ Ross thinks Conelo was close.
Get real. Both Manny and Floyd are special fighters. The hate is so stupid.
You guys are too sensitive. When Vargas says "Rob the bank" he's talking about the insane amount of Money Floyd is supposed to make in one fight, which is unprecedented.
Floyd called HIMSELF a bank robber. Some of you Floyd fans are way too insecure.
I agree. They have been friends since the 1996 Olympics.
None of the items you posted are true.
But just so i know, what is your theory on why Floyd remains the best selling PPV fighter in boxing?
How can he be simultaneusly be someone no one wants to watch and also be the one who sells the most PPV?
Floyd tries to fight someone that has a relatively good fan base. Those that are average, the PPVs are down.
Secondly, there are more people who watch that want to see him lose than to see him win.
fraud is nothing but a product of a carefully matched mediocre boxer.
as he admitted many times it's all about timing... the right time to cherry pick an opponent either past prime fighters as well as fighters considered c level fighters at their best.
a fraud will always be a fraud no matter how much money he earned.

Those pitty pats marked up all his opponents except for maybe Maidana.
It's always funny when people say no one wants to watch Mayweather.
No one? Are you sure about that?
Man I watch the club fighters on Telemundo and Univision. I watch all Boxing and Boxers again I love the sport of boxing and don't fall in love with fighters, their promoters,bank accounts,managers,clothing lines and cable providers that carry their fights.
Vargas-Trinidad PPV was worth $300 million
Mayweather-Pacquiao??? Nah man biggest con of the decade. I don't see boxing fans getting any love for making these guys $300 million richer
So when you go on YouTube and want to watch Classic fights you going to watch Mayweather-Guerrero? mayweather-Maidana series? Mayweather-Canelo?
Nobody want to watch that crap. Mayweather can pitty pat his way to win decisions but what makes him TBE? I mean really? Is he going on a tear and GGG his opponents?

Robbed the bank? lets not act like Floyd didn't come up the hard way too
I don't think he meant it like that. I think he meant it in a more positive way; like to say Floyd didn't fight everyone is a row, he let fights build. As much as I hate that the Floyd-Pac fight didn't happen 5 years ago, the amount of money that the fight is generating now is A LOT more than it would've been then
I re watch a lot of fights, even Floyd fights. Just read what you posted.
Replay value!!! FFS!!

Yeah man anyone can become a marketing ploy like mayweather, dude is gonna look like the bum he is may 2nd.
It took FOUR (4) posts for that video to generate a bizarre response .... I AM TRULY IMPRESSED!!!!
:lol1:
Vargas did go in hard against some tough opposition. Starting with a faded but tough Yory boy Campas (W), prime Raul Marquez (W), prime Winky Wright (W), prime Ike Quartey (W), a tough and game Ross Thompson (W), prime Felix Trinidad (L), prime Oscar De La Hoya (L), old but tough Javier Castillejo (W) prime Shane Mosely (Lx2), and prime wild ass Ricardo Mayorga (L). No way did Mayweather go in hard like Vargas.

Which is why I respect Vargas and don't have a problem with what means. Not many fighters start that way and less last long if they do. It's internet geeks on here that use this as one more way to dump on pro fighters that makes me laugh.
If it was easy, we'd doing it not watching and writing about it.

Because Boxing fans like myself watch and buy any boxing PPV.
Not a *****
Not a *******
Just a boxing fan
Everything that I have posted can be said is true. Mayweather is the best fighter in the last 10 years but his last 4 years of PPV have been trash. Pacquiao's PPV other than Pacquiao-Marquez 4 have been trash as well.
This fight has expired 5 years and both fighters and their camps are trying to squeeze every $$$ out of us boxing fans. Truth hurts man and also I can have a opinion without disrespecting somebody I have never met on these boards. Some of you guys get too hurt
Vargas is a guy who was heavily marketed and had big money pay days against top, top names of his time. If he wasn't such a junkie, he would have kept all his money.
Nah Big Dunn fvck MMA haha. But you know it's the truth what Mayweather PPV fight you watched more than once???
Hardcore,casual, softcore, MMA fan, regular Joe Smo will fall asleep on all of Mayweather's PPV fights in the last 4 years.
I go on YouTube and watch Tito-Vargas, DLH-Vargas, Pacquiao-Morales 1-2, Barrera-Hamed, Pacquiao-Marquez series and even Mayweather-Hatton those are fights have replay value.
Mayweather is the best but his fights are garbage and have flopped.
I re watch a lot of fights, even Floyd fights. Just read what you posted.

you're just mad, bruh. go get a hug or might as well a life!
truth hurts but that's the way it is. first, you're gonna get pissed off then in the long run you'll probably accept the truth. :wave:
Hmmm, presumptuous remarks about my emotional state is a poor way to avoid answering a question, one simple enough even for you.
I actually find your posting quite funny and was hoping you'd entertain me further. So are you going to answer why it's easier to whine on a website than do something as easy as the little Mayweather has? Or are you going to talk further nonsense (pretty much the same thing anyway, but one can hope)?
