    As initially reported on Fightnews, former three-time world champion “Ferocious” Fernando Vargas (26-5, 22 KOs) will return to the ring. Vargas will meet Henry “Sugar Pooh” Buchanan (20-2, 13 KOs) on April 16th. The proposed location of the fight is the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. The bout is scheduled for 10 rounds with a contracted weight of 171 pounds making it a light heavyweight contest. Vargas is reportedly being trained for the bout in Las Vegas by Floyd Mayweather Sr.

    I don't see why Vargas shouldn't fight at this weight if he wants to. He'll be slow as **** but should win easily.

    because his business manager robbed him and lot of other folks.sucks vargas had actually invested well (in carparks and other buildings) but he is now broke

    "The former business manager of Fernando Vargas has been arrested on suspicion of stealing the former world champion’s fortune. According to the Ventura County Star, Joseph Louis Pecora was arrested Monday on charges of grand theft by embezzlement and forgery after a long investigation. Vargas’ attorney Greg Ramirez told the Star that Pecora allegedly pocketed about $400,000 and lost millions by mismanaging Vargas’ financial affairs. Ramirez also said the Vargas family had to move out of their home as a result and Vargas might have to start training to get back in the ring."
