The questions that are being debated here and on many other forums are these Mosley's speed vs. Vargas Power. Whose losses hurt them more?
Who can "regain" there former physical form? The last question is the only one that really matters. The truth that has not been addressed by anyone is that neither fighter can. Both used steroids to augment their preformance.
Assuming that neither fighter figures out a way to take steroids again, (which is a big assumption). Look at it like this. Who can most closely recapture their steroid form with natural methods.
Steroids took Mosely to a place wear as a 154 pound fighter he could bench press 300. There is no way he can replicate that.
As evidenced by Vargas recent fights he still has the power, his steroid use was for a different use. Endurance, it has been a big problem for him, his new style is not so much a defense style but an energy conserving style.
I think that proper nutrition and training, especially for the big fights will get Vargas closer to going a soliid 12 than it will get Mosley to the almost unhuman speed and strengh that he has displayed in the past.
My pick is a UD for Vargas, in a fight that probably should be stopped by the ref, but it won't be. Mosley won't quit because he is a tough son of a *****.
But in the end Vargas will not have the stamina to finish Mosley and I could even see "the old brain damaged wonder" sweeping his last three rounds at 154.
