Do you guys rememember the young Fernando Vargas with the blond streaks that took the boxing scene by storm back in 1998?
I was reliving some of Vargas' greatest moments as a pro last night (via DVD) and I couldn't help but to wonder who would win a fight between the Vargas that fought Tito or the Margarito that fought Cotto.
I think that would have been one helluva fight and a possible all time great fight.
If the fight was to take place at 154, I think I'd have to give Vargas the slight edge. Vargas D was actually decent - especially when he would get rocked (lol).
I think Vargas' hand speed and boxing skills would have won him a decision over Margarito. I see Margarito having his moments by pressuring the hell out of Vargas, but in the end Ferocious would have a little too much skill.
Opinions?
Yea, Vargas was very good before getting ruined by Tito. Vargas beat Winky in a very close fight and absolutely dominated a prime Ike Quartey.
another great fight i enjoy watching. Quartey was just fresh off getting robbed against de la hoya too i think. I might be wrong but i think so. (i should do the old boxrec technique, go look, come back and post like i know everything :rofl:)
man two of my favorite fighters!!!! I think a young feroz would pound margarito! He would be too strong for him. It's funny i was just watching tito vs vargas and man what a fight!!!!! they were both taking it to each other and i though vargas vs margarito would have been great!! But yea I think Feroz would be too much for margarito.

I agree with you that if the fight took place at 154, Vargas by late stoppage, at 147 id favor Marg
