    There's nothing wrong with voting Vargas, I think it's very close personally, but to take individual performances when we're judging this on talent and skills is just ******ed.

    I might as well say "Cotto never got knocked out with one punch, he's better".
    I voted for Cotto but I disagree with that. I think its based on his victories vs Quartey & Winky.

      Under normal circumstances I agree, and I don't see anything wrong with picking Vargas.

      But we're in nsb....come on now, you're giving most of these people too much credit.

        vargas is underrated.......beating quartey like he did is no joke.....of course we're in nsb...the flavor of the month always wins....

        its close...but vargas at his peak had a bit more going for him.....

          That of course has little to do with the question but the answer is 'Ferocious' Fernando Vargas.
          Im not understanding what youre trying to say here, especially when you bring race into this

                Vargas. Just the win over Quartey and Winky tops Cotto's resume. I dont think Cotto can beat Winky and Quartey
