    Fernando Vargas says he wants Cotto

    "In a recent interview with La Opinion, Fernando Vargas said that he wants to fight Miguel Cotto. After watching Cotto's victory over Judah, Vargas said that he feels inspired to fight for redemption because of his loss to Puerto Rican Felix Trinidad. Vargas went on to say that a victory over Cotto would make him very happy, and he would hope that Mexican boxing fans would forgive his loss to Trinidad. Vargas also said, "It all depends on how I feel after the Mayorga fight, of course I have to win to have any future in this sport. If I come out victorious over Mayorga, I will definetly consider challenging Cotto for his belts."

    I don't know if this has been posted... Or even if its the truth. Thats just what I read on some other forum. And since I'm a Vargas fan I won't say anything. Only thing I'll say is that people think Fernando is washed up.. I dont think he is. He'll beat Mayorga.

    None the less.. A Vargas/Cotto fight would probably never happen anyways cause Vargas has to make 147.

      I guess if Vargas wanted to be sent into retirement then this fight would be ok.

        Vargas is 'damaged goods' with all due respect; Cotto would not want anything to do with him nor would boxing fans...

            I have never been a Vargas fan but I don't think he is all washed up either. But I also don't think that would be a good fight for him. Plus, 147 is probably not a realistic weight for him at this point of his career. In fact, the last fight he was at or under 147 was 1997. It was his sixth fight ever as a professional.

                You think? I know with Cotto's defense not being that great sometimes Vargas could have a shot to get some good punches in, but I think Cotto would wear him and down and in the end it would be a sad ending.

                  It would be a good fight for a couple of rounds but Cotto takes him out in 5
