The long road to stardom is the one with the easiest fights and the most $$. This is what boxing has become. Being a champion means nothing. Hell even being a multi-divisional champ has lost some of it's luster.

I don't see that kind of talent in Vargas to be any kind of factor @147 IMO.

I thought he didn't look so good in his last fight and could have lost it if his opponent kept at him.
IMO, he doesn't deserve a title shot this year..... He can't get Pac/May...so that cuts down his options to 2 people... and I'd hate it if he fought one of them this year.

co-sign to the fullest.....in his last fight which i thought was at worst a draw or at least a loss for him, i didnt see anything special either! and he's looking for a title shot? he still hasnt fought anybody of note(that includes tonights fight). i want to see him in there with Dulorme, then step up vs a former champ or top contender before he even sees or smells a title shot
