100% 👍 The people around him kinda screwed his career though bc he definitely wasn't ready for most of those guys! (23/24 is extremely young to be facing the best of the best.. Vargas was one of my favorite fighters back then!! (Warrior 💯).. Tbh he was lacking a bit in overall skills but he sure was a DOG!! THX for the entertaining fights and build ups El Feroz!!! 🥊
No doubt,management did him dirty thou. They did not build him up as They could have. Fought killers way too soon....a true warrior that deserved the right to make 10 times more money that What he ended up making. Boxing is a dirty and roothless sport.
I think HBO just wanted to paint it as a wholesome story Fernándo really hated his stepfather apparently he didn’t treat him well. He’s always referred to him as a his “Maget Stepfather” he shows a lot of love to his trainer Big G Eduardo Garcia
If you lived in that part of Cali you will never forget the bleached bangs Lmao! Those were the Rebel days... when the guys rocking those bangs would wear Harley Davidson boots
Fernando was so talented and had a bright future however the fighters he was put up with were not from his generation he wasn’t ready for them but give him credit in todays competition they would of fed him those fighters as old defeated fighter that presented no threat to him to build his fame maybe Vargas’s career serves as examples to promoters on why hold back fighters take care of them and avoid challenges in they’re wary years
From what people in Oxnard who knew him tell me, he was an 805 clown as well. I met and trained with his sons when they were in camp. They were scumbags, except Amado, surprisingly he was the only respectful one to our team.
@eliseoretro4407 I understand what you're saying. I'm from Oxnard, born and raised, and while he has made his share of mistakes and probably has regrets, like we all do, that doesn't mean he didn't do something legendary for the town with his Olympic and boxing glory. Peace be with you, Bro.
@@rps8400 for sure. I should add when I hear old school trainers talk about him they say very positive things about his work ethic. I respect him as a fighter no doubt.
His career would’ve looked so different if he had taken an easier route like most fighters do today Fernando always wanted to fight the best even if it meant he would have multiple losses on his record but im sure he’s gonna manage his sons career better than they managed his
Unfortunally, his management threw him to the lions at an early age and received career ending beatdowns, he was done by the age of 27. He would had lasted a bit more and made more money in the game if his management would have picked the right fights for him!
Vargas was the guy they used to make the TOP look good! He was the one who would take any fight even if he lacked skills and talent!! Boxing still creates these fighters and uses them!! He wasn’t anything special but than again he wasn’t supposed to me! Just used to promote talented fighters! They still do this…, build up a Rollie then feed them to a talent!!
His biggest downfall was passionately hating on Delahoya. He wanted the win so bad that he took steroids and still got ko'd. That was the beginning of the end.
Too much too soon. His fight with Trinidad damn near finished him. But prior to that he took a lot of damage (in victory) from Ike Quartey. But the punishment he suffered from Trinidad was career changing. Similar but not as severe as what Julio Cesar Chavez did to Meldrick Taylor.
Vargas Oscar de la coca and feliz trinidad were bultos I watch them fight but now I look back and I was like men boxing was bad because the attention was on Oscar de la coca biggest boxing fraud and to this days he is Vargas was a bulto te and Trinidad the 3 of them
Trainer and promoter ran his young career to the ground cause they rush him too quick to face top fighters and ruin him. He was still good but too many mileage at a young age
It’s boxing Fernando is doing good stop being a cry baby he wanted to fight the best at the age he thought he was the best ain’t nothing wrong with go cry sumwhere else good thing u ain’t a boxer looks like u would duck everybody
Gotta respect Vargas. By like 23-24 he had already fought Trinidad, De la Hoya, winky, Campas, Quartey. He was a warrior 🥊
I appreciate you replying!
That’s right! Much respect to that man 🫡🫡🫡

Top fighter. Great fights against DLH and Trinidad too and he was so young . Robert Garcia said you’d want him with you if it was kicking off
Your reply is very much appreciated!
Fernando is a exciting action fighter

He was very mature for his age back then
Thanks for replying!
Vargas came in a fought and didnt quit. Not like these twitter warrior's and cherry pickers these days.
Unfortunally, his management threw him to the lions at an early age and received career ending beatdowns, he was done by the age of 27. He would had lasted a bit more and made more money in the game if his management would have picked the right fights for him!
Spot on.
Facts!!

He was my fav fighter growing up, but he got caught being on steroids when he fought Oscar De La Hoya....
Thanks for replying!
Oscar was caught wearing fishnets
@@DavejrJr-pf2dd😂😂😂😂
Good talent just wrong managers that was only thinking about the money
Thanks for replying!

I appreciate you replying!
I was just watching the Moesha show I saw him on an episode And that's what made me click on this Video
I appreciate you replying!
I remember that bit down he got by Oscar. . But he never quit
I think the fight was very close until he got stopped
If I remember Vargas tested positive for P.E.D. I wish he would of been clean....he was ripped for that fight.
Thanks for the reply!

He fought Trinidad far too early. He wasn’t the same after that devastating loss.

He had Trinidad ready too go but the Puerto Rican fought dirty and low blowed him numerous times.
Trinidad would always hit his opponents below the belt whenever he was in trouble...
Thanks for replying!
So what you're trying to say is Vargas would have beat Trinidad?@05gtdriver
@36ELGALAN Vargas certainly had Trinidad hurt.
The low blows by Trinidad immediately after he rose ruined any momentum Vargas had...
@05gtdriver low blows happen, whether they were dirty or not I have no idea, all I know is that Vargas was thrown to the fire to early in his career
