El Feroz Fernando Vargas

greenboy221418y ago

So I have to say this guy by far is my favorite fighter. Though he has never won the big fights (TITO, OSCAR, SHANE), however is a former 2 time junior middleweight champion. I guess my questions to the boxing fans out there is do you think he has a chance against Mayorga. I don't want to be bias and say that 162 will be big difference, and you'll see the ole Fernando, but I wonder if we might. I think lots of people have lost confidence in him and gave up on him but of course I can't have that. The second question I have is do you think him having trouble making weight messed with his confidence or he was just outclassed by better fighters. Had he not been a bigger light middlewieght did he have a chance with these guys?

Had he not been a bigger light middlewieght did he have a chance with these guys? Vargas could have been so much more then what he is. Like you I am also a fan I belive he should have waited a bit longer b4 rushing into fighting DLH and Tito. Keep in mind he was a young kid K.Oing lots of fighters. Btw I dont know whos winning the Varags and Mayjorga fight BUT I am 100% sure its gonna be a good fight because of their styles.
