That is true, they were past it. Whitaker was WELL past it and in a real bad way with the cocaine use.
Tito was what he was: a GREAT puncher and a good boxer who brought a lot of excitement to the masses and was in some massive fights.
He came up against some really slick guys - DLH, Winky, B-Hop - and he didn't have the ring IQ to crack those puzzles. But I don't think there is any shame in losing to those guys.

The question was how many HOF'ers has Trinidad beaten.
Now YOU'RE the one qualifying the questions.
"I specifically said..."??!?
Who the f*ck gave YOU a badge?
That may work at your kindergarten class... but not here.
That being said.... both you... AND your instructions.... can go back to taking it up your poop hole.
Have a nice day.
Now.... I've SPECIFICALLY told you to go f*ck yourself.
I hope you can follow THOSE simple instructions.

Even more shot when DLH got the nerve enough to fight them.
They're still HOF'ers.
What part of that do you not understand?
These are "yes" or "no" questions:
Are De La Hoya, Camacho, and Whitaker in the Boxing HOF?
Answer: Yes
Did Felix Trinidad beat each one of them?
Answer: Yes
Given "a" and "b"... is it true that Trinidad beat Boxing HOF'ers?
Answer: Yes
Tomorrow we'll review basic arithmetic and social studies.
I'll own up to that one. The lone exception in the career of Trinidad and DLH. Otherwise, the pattern is clear and established. So Whitaker was shot when both DLH and Trinidad fought him. It happens. He got into the ring, so obviously he thought he was competitive. There's roughly half dozen other cases where it was the other way around (Trinidad finishes them off..... DLH gets the scraps).
Why is Vargas not a HoFamer?
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
By the time of his first world championship he won all his 14 bouts by knockout. He won his first world title in 1998, knocking out Yori Boy Campas in seven rounds for the IBF light middleweight championship. Vargas successfully defended the title throughout 1999, with victories over Howard Clarke (TKO 4), Raúl Márquez (TKO 11), Winky Wright (MD 12), and Ike Quartey (UD 12).
Vargas lost the title to Félix Trinidad in 2000. Vargas was knocked down twice in the first round, he was able to fight his way back by knocking down Trinidad in the fourth round until finally being knocked out in the 12th and final round.
