Mythical matchup: Fernando Vargas v. Antonio Margarito

[SupremeElectron]

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?

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

It would be a great fight at 154, I think it would be either a decision win for Vargas or a late knockout for Margarito.

Vargas by UD due to Margarito's chin. Before fighting Tito, Vargas was really good, too much for Margarito.

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.

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.

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 )

154, Vargas would destroy Margarito. He would be too much for Tony.
