    Hopkins would kill Vargas. Especially if it was back then, and that's probably why Vargas didn't move up because Vargas knew it too.

      Funny! Thats the same reason i give to why Winky never moved up to Middleweight untill Hopkins moved out! Then fought an ancient Hopkins and still lost.

      Vargas stayed at jr. middleweight cause thats where all the MONEY was back then!

      Hopkins wanting some of that money challenged the jr. middleweight and the WELTERWEIGHTS! To a fight. He didn't want Calzaghe that i recall till now.

        Well Calzaghe wasn't a huge money name guy back then like he is now, So I understand why he didn't want a piece of Calzaghe.

            vargas lost to tito because he got caught up in the legends of the battles of us ricans and mexicans and he wanted to be a part of it.i actually see fernando winning an even fight el feroz was very good technically before the tito match.

              Before Trinidad barged in and ruined everything, Vargas and David Reid were on a collision course. I remember it was like almost scheduled and then Vargas had legal trouble. That would have been a great fight and would have made ALOT of sense. Thanks alot tito

              There was alot of talk of Vargas movin up after tito, also recently he was going to be movin up to fight Jermain Taylor but fought Mosley instead.

                    And you don't know what you're talking about. Nobody outboxed Quartey better then Vargas did. And Winky lost to a YOUNG Vargas who had legal problems and still pulled out the win.
