According to some of the latest talk, former junior middleweight champion Fernando Vargas (26-5, 22 KOs) may be considering a return to the ring to face Hector Camacho Jr. (49-3-1. 27 KOs). It's hard to say how legit his return really is. Vargas has been dipping his feet into the promotional game over the last few months and walks around pretty heavy. Camacho has been able to squeeze down to junior middleweight in his last few fights and it would be interesting on what kind of a catch-weight they could come up with for this one.

Camacho and Vargas traded words last week in Ohio during a media event for Camacho's fight against Israel Cardona. Camacho said that he would be facing ex-champion Yory Boy Campas on October 31 and would like to fight Vargas by December. Vargas has been away from the ring since losing a twelve round decision to Ricardo Mayorga in November 2007.

Vargas spoke with boxingtalk.com and didn't deny the possibility of returning against Camacho but said the fight was not going to happen by Decemeber. He said that first quarter of 2010 was more likely.

"I will come out of retirement and slap his ass around like nothing,” Vargas said.
