    Yes, it's a bridge too far. Prime Vargas beats the crap outta Bud at 154.

    Prime Vargas is a tougher matchup than an aged, plodding Canelo.

    Prime vargas is the guy who lost to Wright and got hurt pretty badly vs an inactive quartey before Trinidad splattered him?

    Hed be in for a fight vs the aging crawford who beat madrimov

    I know you love Madrimov, but the truth is prime Vargas would beat the living fuck outta Madrimov.

    Yea, I don't see it. Let's see if you feel the same in a few weeks.

    We'll see in a few weeks vs a top 5 super welter

    Vargas never beat down anyone on the level of a crawford.

    Madrimov aint Raul marquez or campas

    I'm not saying he's not. I think Madrimov wins. Still, I hardly think Madrimov is on the level of 99-00 Vargas. Not even close.

    Nando would have slaughtered Vergil.

    Young Vargas at 154 was definitely dangerous. But it's not hard to imagine him struggling with a guy like Madrimov.

    I’d take Vargas over Madrimov who doesn’t have the power and accuracy of Trinidad or the hand speed of De La Hoya. Fernando would probably out work him him round by round, and win it clearly based on activity.
