Fernando Vargas

[HiloBoy]

I thought Vargas looked like garbage. But worst of all were Merchant and Lampley acting like he was sensational. Just a bunch of HBO homers. What would have happened if this was a little better fighter tonight let alone a Trinidad.

Can't wait to fade him when he faces a puncher. Joval controlled pretty much the whole fight and while Fernando clearly won a decision he won't beat anyone of world class caliber.

couldn`t agree more....even if you give him a pass for the layoff,there was talk he has trouble making 154.....??????.....he looked pudgy...his middle was thick....he`s 27....not 34....why can`t he make 154?....

i know a bad back is murder....but,he`s gonna get killed at 160...

maybe he should get back onto the juice......he made 154 with all that added muscle.....

he`ll be fighting the castiliejo`s....matt vanda`s....maybe even mayorga,who may have been the most overrated fighter of the decade....

there are a few dangerous guys,though,that will be avoided like the plague....ouma...keith holmes...travis simms....

really,though,the division is pretty weak...

if he were smart,he`d get in shape ...even at a lesser level,vargas could do well in a weak division.....if he gets in shape and stops trying to be a boxer...

that experiment will stop as soon as he gets in with a prolific offensive fighter....much like it will stop with gatti when he gets in with a legit jr welter...not a blown up lightweight...

maybe he is closer to 34 than 27 in boxing years do to the fact he has had many tough fights at such a young age. if he fights hand picked he should do well for awhile but how long does hbo put up with him fighting stiffs?

if it`s good enough for gatti?

Vargas has beaten his body. He gave us some great monents in his short career. I didnt think he looked good since DLH. I would like to see him in at 154 against a big name. Make some money, and ride off into the sunset. By the way Spinch, Mayorga the most overrated fighter ever? Come on buddy. He may not be a great boxer, but he is a great fighter. I think that he can come back from that loss with the swagger, and hammer away in his next fight. I think he would beat Vargas at 154 too. Maybe even 160. We will see in his next fight though.
