Jessie Vargas or Floyd Mayweather: Who beat the tougher opponent?

D4thincarnation

On the 17th of September last year both Floyd Mayweather and Jessi Vargas fought on the same card in Vegas.

Floyd was headlining fighting Victor Ortiz and one of his fighters that he promotes Jessie Vargas fought Josesito Lopez.

Floyd took a reported $40 million from that fight Lopez on $100k.

But who took on the tougher opponent?

From what I seen of both fighters, I have no doubt that not only did Vargas take on the the tougher opponent but also the more skillful opponent.

Can anyone really disagree?

Ortiz at that moment was a much much much tougher opponent. This is a classic D4 troll thread. Ortiz at that time, was #2 WW and WBC WW champ.

okay i'll play along

Lopez > Ortiz

SD > Sucker punch

which means Vargas beat the better man and in a more impressive fashion

That is a great way to look at just how funny it is that Ortiz lost to Lopez. Lopez was on the undercard of a PPV he was in the main event of, that same guy just broke his jaw and made him quit.

Seems like you judge fighters on paper, I judge them by what they do in the ring.

How can anyone think that Ortiz is the tougher fighter.

I said all along Victor was overrated, far too open, punches too wide, squares up, doesn't have the heart and temperament.

Lope on the other hand, full of heart great chin, great temperament, great combos.

Much tougher, this shouldn't even be an argument.

Vargas>Lopez
Lopez> Ortiz
Vargas is better than Ortiz and Lopez is better than Berto
Ahhhh, good old triangle theory

Also shows how overrated Bertoid was.

Amazing how Floyd can make so much money from fighting C class fighters.

So you base your judgement of Ortiz and Lopez on a night in Sept 2011 based on how they fought each other in June 2012?

Ahhh now we get to the heart of this thread. D4th is mad that floyd gets more for fighting C class fighters than Manny does.

The lesson here is that Andre Berto sucks. No triangle theories needed to know that.

Also, Jesse Vargas=GOAT. It's a scientific fact.
