Fighters who were never the same after losing once

[ElTerribleMorales]

Fernando Vargas.Tito took his soul and I'm not one for 'what ifs' but i still say Fernando was turning it around untill a succession of low blows stole his legs .
That is still the best fight in living memory for me but the beating Fernando took at the end of such a gruelling fight and at such a young age , no way he could have recovered.

I think that's BS he fought with all the heart in the world against Oscar, its just Oscar was too good of a boxer for him.

Sorry. He may have "fought his heart out" against Oscar, but he wasn't the same fighter AFTER Tito. You may recall... he was floored quite easily and put on queer street by the lightly regarded Wilfredo Rivera (also from PR) in a fight shortly after the Tito fight. Had Wilfredo taken advantage of that knockdown, he'd have given Fernando his 2nd KO loss. So it was Tito who ruined Fernando, not Oscar.

agreed, but you gotta admit Vargas lost a little more of himself after every loss
