See Raymon you are not even reading what is written, selective quoting i guess. I also believe DLH would have beat Vargas regardless of what Tito did. But to deny that there was an effect I think is the dumb move. But like others have mentioned, you are so far up DLH's ass that these arguments go right through your ears.
This "nut-hugging" is the major reason that boxing is hardly properly analyzed. And this goes for just about every fighter, but is especially pronounced on the Tito-DLH debates because both sets of fans are so die-hard.Comment

I will not get into who had the better legacy because at this point it just opinions but, I will definitely disagree with you on the fact that you say Vargas was the same after tito. NO WAY! Vargas wasn't the same after Tito and plenty of folks who knew the way Fernando fought can tell you that.
You can immediately tell the kind of fighter he was after the tito fight when Vargas stepped into the ring with Wilfredo Vargas & was knocked down by a punch that before the tito fight wouldn't have brought him down. For the record I'm one of the biggest "Feroz" supporters around.Comment

Yet he beat Sweetpea convincingly whereas De La Hoya's win is considered controversial. How many boxers in history have been able to move and box well as Sweetpea? It's a very short list.Comment

DLH win was not contrversial. It was a close fight where Whittaker dod nothing but run and clown the whole fight. It was close fight that Oscar won. He won an ugly fight, but you are never gonna lok great against Whittaker.Comment
