Fighters back in the day also used to fight more. Fighting 4 and 5 times a year used to be the norm. They'd fight a good fighter, take on a bum or two and then back in again with another good opponent. Two of the biggest stars Tyson & Ali both fought bums in their prime but it kept them active and kept the public's attention. The most popular guys today are fighting once a year and we're not even getting the best against the best most of the time

So Vargas had back to back draws and that qualifies him for a title shot 😂 Sounds good to me lolComment

They figure they have to put Vargas in with a guy he can actually beat to justify putting him in with Spence lol haha Truth be told I'd rather see Broner vs Spence lolComment

Also Vargas better not mess this opportunity up or Hearn is going to regret ever signing him lolComment

Two draws in a row and he is in the final eliminator, had he won those two fights I guess he'd be up for galactic emperor. Looks like a concerted effort to keep Ugas (who is not that great)away from a title fight.Comment

I could be wrong, but I don't think a fighter loses his spot in the rankings with a draw. Hence why Vargas has or will stay at the top of both the IBF and WBC rankings.
But he is no dummy, he knows he has a better chance against Porter than Spence, so he likely doesn't take this fight.Comment
