    Could Fernando Vargas and Felix Trinidad ever be friends like Hopkins and De La Hoya?

    Is it possible or will they always be sworn enemies because of the ruthless, brutal damage they inflicted on each other?

    I voted no. They live a huge distance apart for one thing. If it was just up to Trinidad I am sure they could be friends. Vargas is not a friendly guy. He held a huge grudge against Oscar for almost nothing. If he doesn't like Trinidad that is not going to change. Trinidad and Oscar are friends now.

      I don't think so either. Bernard and Oscar also had a financial incentive to become friends, if they weren't already, and I don't recall the level of animosity between those to as I do with Vargas and Trinidad... and pretty much everyone else. I don't know who Vargas was friendly with in boxing. He seemed like he was always mad at someone. I remember when he spat on Ross Thompson after he knocked him down.

          The way they fought each other in the ring... it's understandable if they never become friends. It was personal the way they were hitting one another.

          How could you ever be friends with someone who did this to you?

                    No, because when the hand wrap incident happened with Hopkins Vargas jumpped on that opportunity and started to tell anybody who cared to listen. That that was why Tito was able to defeat him when they fought, he went on a campaign to discredit Tito's career. And still today when asked he sticks to his claims that Tito cheated against him.
