    IDK about them clowns. This dude is a 10 time world champ in 6 weight divisions with no catch weight at all. Fought everyone and best in the division in their prime. Never ducked a fight. Got robbed a couple of times specially on the mosley rematch when vegas punked his ass. Haters still gonna hate cus that's what they only knew and so best😩🤣

    This is one of the best fights for me growing up cos I was always teased as a 'pretty boy sissy' and looking 'like a chick' and I was always bullied and pushed around by the rougher looking kids and I was forced to fight when I never wanted to and I won and I knew what disrespect Oscar went through in his life too and this fight was almost exactly what I dealt with and what I did when I'd finally stand up for myself and Vargas personified the bullies I knew and I was soooo happy Oscar showed that it is not nice to be jealous of someone and use that to hurt them. Like me he gave the bully a beating.... ( I'm over six feet tall and was always fast and then became a Thai boxer who travelled the country and then even around Europe , especially Holland, to fight so never judge a book by it's cover). Vargas found out. He turned out to be a guy I liked but at the end of the day he hated De La Hoya for all the wrong reasons and he was humiliated despite even being a drug cheat which makes this victory sweeter. I knew Oscar was the better man. That's my story of this fight and I know other people will understand what I mean.

    A guy could beat most everybody with Oscars left hand alone, lol. Serious weapon. Snappy hard jab and vicious ko hook. And can go anywhere with either. Was a pleasure to watch him box. He shut a lot of tough guys up! Legend status I think.

    I watched this fight live on HBO and now it's April 2024 as I watch this video and Vargas has three boys of his own that box and one who is on his way to stardom in the boxing world. Some of my old favorites have boys that are fighting now and doing well, Kostya Tszyu's boys Tim and Nikita, and Ricky Hatton has a son Campbell who is doing well. It's exciting to see a new generation making their way.
