Vargas: "at one point in time I was up to 264 pounds"

[errsta]

Jesus H. Christ! That's some good times.

Anyway, much respect to him for having the desire to come back from that and do it one more time for the fans.

264...that's hard to believe

[IntentionalButt]

"i eat because i'm sad, and i'm sad because i eat. it's a vicious circle!"

[Pimp C]

264??? Fuck!

[unitas]

[*BOX_FAN*]

Meaby he wanted to be a strongman :huh

[Asterion]

[geppy]

I would like to see Vargas fight Toney at 264 pounds, while both are on steroids.

[brooklyn1550]

Not even James Toney gets up to 264 pounds....that's more than Wladimir Klitschko!

[Stinky gloves]

He was in negotiations with Toney just they spend some time together.

[ruizfan]

Would love to see how he looked.

[IntentionalButt]

Would love to see how he looked.

"My name is Fernando"

(All) Hi Fernando!

"It has been three hours since my last meal. I had Dr. Salman's menu of salad, boiled chicken, and some fresh fruit for desert, along with some pineapple juice. I had a need to purge, but I talked to my counselor instead, and we talked about the Wright fight. I didnt vomit."

(All) We Support you Fernando!

Keep Comming back it works!!!:hey

:yep

[tampa]

i dont beleive it.

[ApatheticLeader]

i dont beleive it.Call me gullible, but I do. I'm not entirely sure why.

[errsta]

Call me gullible, but I do. I'm not entirely sure why.

When fighters lie about how much weight they've put on, they usually lowball the figure. That doesn't appear to be the case here.

He has no reason to say he gained more than he actually did.

He is still fat as hell, Damn:-( I give him Zero chance to win this seriously the only win he might get here is if he makes the contracted weight but in doing so he is going to look the way he did in his last fight, Slow and flat and un able to pull the trigger.

[Killer_Fish]

Damn he looks fat in that picture. The way his skin looks, he probably was 260 at one time.

[Bazooka]

Yup and this was at the presser :good

[Shake]

Even if he could get fit proper, ballooning like that is hell for your body.

Mayorga might knock out Vargas. Wow, never thought I'd type those words.

[freddy-wak]

Thats Bullshit

[tampa]

Damn after that picture i do believe it.look how fat he looks. damn i dont think he'll even make 162. i liked vargas before but damn. wtf

[pipe wrenched]

Man i don't know. For somebody 5'10" to weigh 264 that would be FUCKIN FAT. 100 pounds more than in that picture.

[maciek4]

Not possible. He is 5'9, even shorter than Toney and his frame is not as big as Toneys. I understand 220lbs but definitly not 265, thats ridiculous.

[Killer_Fish]

I was a little curious to see how 260 may look and google it.

[Only registered and activated users can see links]

This guy is suppose to be 5' 11 and doesn't seem to have much muscle mass.

[markbrooklyn]

I believe he was 264 at one time.. just look how fat he looks in this picture.. He was at the Alpha Dog movie premiere. Jesus hes fat

Yeah thats fat no doubt that is def over 200 lbs, it may be 215-220 but 265? come on.

[Bazooka]

He looks about the same size as James Toney I know you cant disagree with that

[bmf95b]

He said he has been training since January and he is allready down to 183. Thats 6 f'ing months. This dude was f'ing FATTT for the movie picture posted above. Mayorga looked slim/trim and in shape ready to kick some ass yesterday.

[YOUNG*LORD]

Jesus H. Christ! That's some good times.

Anyway, much respect to him for having the desire to come back from that and do it one more time for the fans.

264...that's hard to believe264lb is crazy...this is Vargas just a few month ago

[liljp361]

thats sad....

[smokey]

Muscle mass weighs a lot more than fat. If you're not putting on just tons of belly fat, a lot of it forms with your muscle mass. I'm 6" and have been up to 260 (I blame tons of beer). I've always been muscular and looked less fat than people who I outweighed by 30 pounds. In good shape I'm 200. If I run every day, I could get down to 180.

A lot of it is how your frame is made. I'm built pretty wide at the chest and shoulders. Vargas has a real stout build, too. I can fully believe he was 260 in the Alpha Dog pics. He had to sauna down to get to 154, burning out every bit of water weight. He walked in the ring around 170, after being weight drained. Vargas is a big dude, even though he's short.

Also, like Vargas, I love tamales and churros. They make you fat QUICK.

[magnum]

264 may be a bit of an exagerration. For this to be true, he would have gained 100 + pounds between the second Mosley fight and January.

[Dantes]

:lol: Give it up Vargas....:rofl

[viperguy]

264....Is that what you call a true Mexican:rofl

[cpnasty]

I believe he was 264 at one time.. just look how fat he looks in this picture.. He was at the Alpha Dog movie premiere. Jesus hes fat

[Only registered and activated users can see links]


Shit!! He was huge!!!

[maciek4]

The sad thing is he is only 29 and he is still an active boxer. What is he going to look like when he turns 40 and is no longer exercising. Same goes to James Toney.

[cpnasty]

James Toney Exercises?????????? when was this?


When he looked like this

James Toney Exercises?????????? when was this?

He does train for every fight. If you watched his training you would see he has a pretty intense training, but what is he going to look like 5 years from now when he is no longer an active boxer, he certainly wont go to the gym to train anymore.

I bet he will be anywhere from 275-350

[pinpointzero]

Last time I saw Fernando I did tell him those lunches with James Toney would do him no good whatsoever...

[paulfv]

Here's Fernando getting back to training:

[paulfv]

From an article on the Mayorga-Vargas press conference:

The room was packed with media, and all went well until the trash-talking Mayorga approached the podium and Vargas immediately removed his sunglasses. Vargas initially maintained his composure while Mayorga repeatedly referred to him as “fatty” as well as other terms not normally deemed acceptable in public company.

Damn Vargas, when you eat more than most third world countries, you have a little problem there.

[Kolya]

Jesus, what the fuck was he eating. That is Wlad weigs on fight night. How could he get that big, that is ridiculous.

That's about 20 pounds more than Wlad or Lennox Lewis on a good night.
