Is Vargas Done?

[simeraksou]

I agree with the last post, way too much way too soon.

Up untill his fight with Tito he was fighting great. He barely got passed Winky Wright but we all see now what kind of skill Wright posseses. Then he had a war against Ike Quartey who has given many other top fighters great fights as well (Oscar De La Hoya to name one)and he came out victorious.

He was able to destroy Campas which surprised me at how easy Vargas made that look.

The biggest mistake was Putting him against Tito. Although Vargas looked like he was going to be taken out in the 1st round of the fight, he showed the skill to adjust and weather a storm which was coming straight to him all night long. He gave Trinidad the fight of his life up to that point. No one except for Hopkins fought Tito that well straight up but still "too much too soon". Vargas, I believe had only 19 or 20 fights when facing Trinidad and Tito was just destroying anyone in his path.

I think Vargas should return at 154 to try and face Winky. That would be a good money rematch and at a better wieght than 160lbs. for him. Middlewieghts are probably too strong for his style of boxing (straight up brawling most of the time.

All in all, Vargas has given us some entertaining fights in the past agianst some great boxers. He has won some and lost some but regardless of the outcome he has never stopped going foward like many other Mexican fighters.

No running or hiding from anyone at such a young age and at such an early stage of his career with minimal championship experience. That says alot for this arrogant fighter. The key would be for his camp not to commit a 2nd mistake by letting him return at middlewieght. of course that's where the real money is but if he wants to be a champion and not just make a return for some quick cash then it should be at 154.

I have all the fights mentioned above and Vargas' fight wIth Winky was a good one. I think a rematch at that wieght for all of Winky's belts would be a great match and another good saga in boxing!

didn't wright say that he didn't want to give vargas a rematch cuz vargas didn't give him a rematch from their first encounter? now wright is the man, and he's gonna payback vargas for not giving the rematch before

Yes, You are "Wright",lol

But 3 things,

1. Vargas back at 154, if he's anything like he used to be at this weight then he would be a contender for Wright's belts in no time and with Vargas' name this rematch would be in public demand.

2. Wright lost to Vargas. Wright as a champion now would probably be better off to put all grudges aside and take Vargas on to prove he is truely "the man" in that division and possibly avenge his loss to him.

3. What makes Wright money in this division? A bunch of no name fighters or a rematch with Vargas for all the marbles. De La Hoya didn't want to fight Vargas but that purse of money was tough even for the multi- million $ golden boy to refuse!

It was over for Vargas when Trinidad nearly beat him to death.

Vargas is a guy who couldn't beat the best even with the help of steroids, now that he's not cheating i don't see how he'll be competitive. if it's money he wants he should try to get one big money mismatch, take his beating and retire

[bandito]

he is done!!! he'll come back but he is done!!
