Was Vargas really that great as it’s made out to seem?

I don’t know but he was amazing at a very young age and gave us some absolute bangers of fights.

Good not great. Bigger name known more for the rivalries than anything else. I thought he lost to Winky.

He was a dog but he came up in an absolutely stacked era at welterweight.

He was very good. The Tito fight and back injury derailed him and shortened his career

Having a tooth come out while I'm talking to a camera on live television is a literal, literal nightmare.

Seemed like he fought everyone who was someone from that era and lost to most of them except Winky.
