        yeah,I was just about to say... Rios is crude in comparison to Vargas.

          vargas was way better. but the steroids positive really clouds things. and yeah the tito fight really phucked his career.

            I say Vargas since he used his jab more and better defensively. On top of that he only lost to greats such as Tito Trinidad.


            vargas was 10 X the fighter rios was. he had damn offensive good skills. he had a hard jab and an intelligent, and very hard, left hook. his problem was that he ran into hall of famers with huge power early in his career and he got washed up.

              Yeah i can't remember Vargas ever being a come forward fighter like Rios. Vargas by far the better boxer. He could fight going backwards and had much better defense than Rios.

                  Vargas had 10x more skills than Rios, would beat him if they were the same weight and was also a better trash talker and thug.

                    A prime Vargas would be the undisputed light middle weight champion right this moment and will go the distance with light middle weight HOF's like Hearns, Benitez, Winky Wright and so on.

                    Rios? well he is struggling against the Alvarados of this world, there's nothing to debate here.

                      vargas was awesum. his fight with Quartey and Wright being so young was impressive
