Should have done it a long damn time ago IMO. The Pac man fight was just embarrassing to watch.

Where does he stack up all time?

He never ducked anybody, but his reputation exceeds his results. Did he ever beat a HOFer in their prime? Maybe Pernell Whitaker.

For so long he was unscathed, literally, which says a lot in boxing.

I still say that he beat Mayweather in May 2007 but it is time for him to retire.

For some reason the fight that came to mind was Chavez-Whitaker. But that was a while back.

Too bad he'll never be considered a great Mexican fighter in Mexico. He was always considered too pretty.

and that he was raised in the states. theres always a huge draw with the mexicans in mexico vs the american mexicans. the mexicans dont see them as 100% mexican and they make for good draws.

Did Vargas ever have a large Mexican following?? I know he was a popular attraction for HBO for a while.
