Fernando Vargas (born December 7, 1977) is an American boxer and two-time world champion, who won a bronze medal as an amateur at the 1995 Pan American Games in Mar del Plata. His nicknames include "Ferocious" and "The Aztec Warrior".
Some of Fernando's notable wins include victories over former world champions Raul Marquez, Ike Quartey and Winky Wright. His losses to Felix Trinidad, Oscar de la Hoya, Shane Mosley and Ricardo Mayorga remain his only career defeats and he is a favorite of American cable TV giant HBO.
Fernando is very good friends with Julio César Chávez; Chavez has been part of Vargas' ring entourage in at least two fights (the fight with Trinidad and the fight with de la Hoya).
