Anyone here think Vargas can really beat Mayorga ?

Lets be serious here... The Vargas that fought Quartey , Trinidad and Delahoya would easily beat Ricardo Mayorga. That was then...this is now. His last fight where he looked decent but still faded as a fighter was against Javier Castillejo. He didnt look very good in both Mosley fights especially the 2nd fight where one clean left hook sent him to queer st. I'm a huge Vargas fan and I hope he can go out with a win and maybe at 162he will look better but even though Mayorga is garbage he can still wing big bombs and if he lands one that is clean on Nando's chin...it might be good night. Vargas will have to fight in close , using his strength on the inside to make it a phone booth fight IMO. I'm betting every Vargas fan out there will be waiting for the first Mayorga punch to land to see how Nando handles it. This is a 50/50 pick em fight right now...but like I said, had this been Pre Trinidad Vargas...Mayorga would have been outta there easily in 8.

On a side note I think Vargas is both mentally and physically defeated. Having lost to Oscar, Tito and Mosley twice. I think he thinks he needs to prove to himself somehow that he's better than Oscar and when he couldn't beat Oscar, he looked to slug it out with Tito and ended up fucked up. Then he looked to beat the man who beat Oscar and got owned in both fights. I look for Vargas to try to slug it out with Mayorga, only to end up on the wrong end of a wild looping shot thrown with conviction for a 6th round KO. I also look for Vargas to retire after this fight. There's something wrong with this. or maybe you mean something else?

Vargas will beat the shit out of Mayorga!!! Vargas has let his pride get in the way in some of the fights but even if he does in this one he will win!!! Mayorga cant box and Vargas will teach him the same lesson that dlh and tito did!!! hell yeah.... but he needs to lose weight first.... man, Vargas is FAT... :D btw, i see Mayorga landing a haymaker to Vargas' chin in the mid rounds which will be Vargas' ticket to retirement....

LoL, just funny how you mentioned the Vargas that fought Trinidad and Oscar when he lost both of those brutally. You know when you go into the ring with emotions, anything can happen. I think that's why he lost the Oscar and Tito fight. The way this fight is going, the same thing could happen. I think Fernando's downside is letting his emotions get in there with him. Thats what did him in against Trinidad IMO. His anger and hatred for Oscar was so much that it almost looked like he wanted to stand and trade with Tito just to show Oscar that he fought like a man and that he could give and take. He wanted to show Oscar that he wouldn't run so he chose to slug and it cost him his career. IMO Vargas could have beaten Trinidad had he boxed intelligently like he did with Quartey. Vargas was a intelligent boxer-puncher.

Vargas really needs to get into shape. I would agree that at this point it would be 50-50 on who would win.

It's a hard pick really. I don't think any of us are at liberty to speculate on hos faded Vargas is simply based on the Mosley fights, because Shane still seems to be in amazing condition for a fighter his age. No question the Vargas of old would definately make Mayorga his prison bitch for 6-8 rounds, but now? It's 50/50 right down the middle but I'm betting that Mayorga wins, gut instinct.
