Kat was a warrior and he deserves all the respect in the world for that...I wish him the best now that he is out of the ring...

    At least Vargas had the balls to take on the best and fight his heart out

    i did not like his attitude but the end of the day he did not talk a load of crap then run like Floyd he stood and fought.

Much respect to el feroz, he gave tito a hell of a fight at such a young age and fought through the many low blows tito had to throw.

          ? Cut the BS lady. Tito snuffed him in the 1st round prior to ANY "low blow." It's also well documented that Vargas threw his own low blow in a few of his fights. The words "totally intentional" as spoken by the commentator, come to mind.

          Vargas on ANY night will never be on Tito's level. If you watch the fight, you will see that the timing of the "low blow" is overrated. Tito was NOT in trouble lady.


          Damn accept it, Vargas was a so so talent... he got ****d by all the elites from Tito to Mosley.


          Keep it factual bitches..

            vargas was a good fighter, but not elite... dude's temper always got him

              He gets respect as a boxer just as Floyd does, but their attitudes are what makes people not like them

                Love Fernando, he was a truly nice gift to the sport when he came along, never feared anyone, youngest 154 LB titlest in the history of the division. There's only two beefs I have with him:

                1. Using steroids against DLH
                2. His complete lack of self control

                The guy couldn't control himself with his eating habits, and when you're a world class fighter, you have to do that. His last fight against Mayorga, he looked great at the weigh-in, and come fight night, he was a ****in BALLOON! Seriously, that was disgusting how fat his stomach got just overnight. He needed to realize that to be successful you can't blow up that much in weight and not be drained.

                  His temper was his weakness, good fighter, horrible personality. Fella was just too emotional.

                    One of the true Elite warriors. You got your moneys worth if you paid to see a Vargas fight. And Nobody dominated a prime Quartey like Vargas did and he beat Winky who is still considered a top dog.

                    And Trinidad as usally he gets in trouble and low blows Vargas, think could have been different but we'll never now.

                    Vargas is the only fighter that Trinidad every faced that made him think twice about continuing boxing and Vargas i the only one to make Trinidad cry in a post fight

                      I will say it again.
                      Who was Oscar fighting at 21?




                      Thank you.

                      Maybe some of you experts can go to Oxnard and give Feroz some boxing lessons since you guys know everything.
