    75% of the people voting for Vargas will do so on the grounds that "Vargas never quit."

    There's nothing wrong with voting Vargas, I think it's very close personally, but to take individual performances when we're judging this on talent and skills is just ******ed.

    I might as well say "Cotto never got knocked out with one punch, he's better".

      That of course has little to do with the question but the answer is 'Ferocious' Fernando Vargas.
      yes it has very little 2 do with the question & was quit dumb as well. if u say vargas is better thats fine, just your theory made no sense.

        Quite is the correct word, so next time you call someone dumb make sure you checked your sentence for mistakes.

          some people come up with the most ridiculous arguments to prove a point, even if they don't have to.

              I say cotto.he is a more complete fighter imo.he could box or slug.he was boxing beautiful the first 6 rounds againt margarito,and tore through gomez easy.i think everyone will agree that vargas was given too much too early.he should never have fought trinidad that early.i think he was only 22 at the time.i give him credit for doing that tho.he didnt win a title and take meaningless defenses like people now adays.i also dont think we cant question either of their hearts.

                  vargas was talented as well and he wasnt as 1 dimensional as some may think.
                  plus he was fighting P4P greatness early in his career he didnt even get to mature and
                  be ready and better. if they brought him up better he would have been better

                    ?? Vargas used STEROIDS man.. how ar eyou trying to make him a folk hero now. Vargas went to war with DLH? On Roids he tried to bully DLH and got slapped with a hook and left for dead. Vargas was a street cholo wannabe who got ****d by all the elites.

                    Cotto hands down. It took a cheating loser to break Cotto down. I guess in Mexico it's either plaster or Roids..

                      I choose Cotto. Vargas was a ****, while Cotto is classy. Also I say Cotto has better boxing ability.
