One of the BIGGEST wasted talents in boxing history :mad:

[outspoken]

I don't know about one of the biggest wasted talents, I'll leave that to the Fernando Vargas's of the world who were wonder children and we expected greatness while they went on to mediocre careers.. See we never expected greatness from a person who started boxing at 19 but he was a very talented fighter, but always underachieve what was expected of him. He came relative late to the sport of boxing so maybe that had something to do with it, although martinez did as well and he fared good. I always liked Kermit but maybe he just didnt have the mentality or heart of a champion, he always folded when it counted the most.

Fernando Vargas wasn't a wasted talent at all. He gave it all he had against Tito Trinidad and Oscar De La Hoya. He probably fought them too early in his career, but hell he peaked earlier than most fighters. He was World Champ at age 20 or something. I think the motorcycle injury that damaged his back screwed him up more than anything.

And Vargas would have kicked albino Alavarez's ass.

Na, Vargas was brought up to fast when they pitted him against Trinidad and he gave a Trinidad all he could and gave him hell but he was never quite the same after. His fight with Oscar wasnt as competitive to me.

I think Vargas allowed his ego and pride to dictate.

Vargas was not brought up to fast. The man had already beaten Ike Quartey, Winky Wright. Yory Boy Campas and Raul Marquez. What was he suppose to do? Wait till he was like 27 or 28 just to fight Trinidad? That's stupid. Vargas was young when he faced Trinidad. But he was ready. He just lost
