No.........
"you must not have ever watched his fights live and most likely familiarized yourself with him through YouTube videos, although you would never admit it!
No. I am a veteran of over 28-29 years following the sport. I watched Vargas's entire career. I know him well.

Self destruct?????? No they rushed vargas because he had the goods and matured into a high level pro fighter at the age of 22....and had tito not wrapped his hands illegally and low blowed el feroz fernando probably would have won that fight... and your overating canelo's power here...
I disagree. This is what Lampley as well as what I've heard many other experts say on Vargas.
"It was clear that [Vargas' promoter] Main Events was rushing Fernando," opined HBO blow-by-blow commentator Jim Lampley, looking back on the fight nine years later. "They were rushing Fernando because they wanted him to make whatever money he was going to make in the ring before he got into so much trouble outside the ring that it would end his career. He had already almost gone to the big house for hitting a guy with a golf club. That's what put them in the position of fighting Felix Trinidad at age 22; they just didn't have any faith that Fernando was going to be able to sustain this over a logical career arc."
And I don't think I'm overrating Canelo's power at all. Dude has real power, and had guys like Lara running for his life as soon as he felt the power. Vargas would not have ran. He would have stood his ground, and gotten a beating.Comment

Vargas would have gotten his ASS BEAT. There was nothing crafty about him, he was just a tough guy.
This website truly despises and resents how good Canelo really is. It's atrocious. There is absolutely nothing overrated about him.
It's de****able, the lengths y'all go to, to discredit him. Canelo OS&Y a fighter that will stand right in the pocket with you and beat the **** out of you, you should learn to respect that. Quit hatin little girls!Comment

I'm not being a fan boy when I say Canelo whoops Vargas. Vargas was never as technically sound as Canelo. Like I said, isn't crafty AT ALL. He's just a tough guy, and had a ton of heart.Comment

A Draw?
"i had Canelo/Lara a draw"
This is how I KNOW you're young. Based on what was Canelo/Lara a draw? Lara was winning early with effective movement and quick hands. Canelo adjusted and Lara's effective movement, became "running" after a while. You cannot win a championship caliber fight that way. Canelo's body punching, effective aggressiveness, and bravery won him that fight down the stretch. Lara did all that arrogant talking during the build-up and forgot to FIGHT in the actual fight, Smh. Newbies I tell ya. I guess you thought Vargas beat Winky Wright too, ey?Comment

I had it a draw, and/or Lara winning 7-5. I didn't have Canelo winning at all. I could see his case for a draw. It was a **** fight and the rounds that both fighters won weren't by a very wide margin. And I'm glad Lara got the L for fighting like a b^tch after all that **** he was talking.
