Question number 1:

Has Vargas completely healed form his back injury? This may affect his mobility, and certainly;

with the extra weight he carries at middle.

Question number 2:

Will his chin hold up with the bigger punchers? Vargas is a warrior: that is given. His chin is suspect though.

Question number 3

Is this the right business decision for Vargas? or should he try his chances at 147? Certainly a better crop of money fights in that division.

IMO, he should try his hand at 154, or 147.

That being said. I would not like to see him hurt his career. He is like Gatti, in that he brings excitement to the sport.

He faces a tough test in Joval, but He should win: If he is to regain his winning ways.

Vargas can beat Taylor, he has a good chance at middleweight, but he would have to face Trinidad again, which is bad news for him, unless Tito moves up to face Lacy, which means he could carry a belt for some time, his plan should be
"stay the f##k away from Tito, and you'll be allright" :cool:.

If you have followed his career closly you would know that it isn't really about good idea/bad idea. 154 is no longer possible for him and 147 no way in hell. He had an egg and a half bottle of Nyquil a day, for three days last time he tried to go to 154.

He is going to have enough trouble making 160. Still good luck to him, I think if got Oscar in a rematch at 160, he would definitly be the favorite.

He is going to have enough trouble making 160..

Primarly due to him blowing up from back problems.

he fought at 154 and less for a really long time.

he started his career at 147, and only had around 3 fights at that weight.

then started slowly packing them on. One by One.
