    I do man.... I think Vargas pre tito was clearly on another level to todays guys and i just dont see anyone that I think can beat him.

    A post hoya vargas.. ehhh... a solid contender but he takes some L's.

    In his short prime however, from marquez, clarke, ike, winky, thompson or trinidad fights I think nobody in todays division has the physical traits or style to beat him besides mayweather.

    When did slickness bother Vargas? Where'd you get that blueprint?

    El Feroz could box and punch and Boo Boo is, while flashy, a KO waiting to happen with some terrible habits.

    He probably wouldn't get far with VADA testing.

    Vargas was legit youngest jr mdw champ imo beats whole list I think lara gives most trouble due to styles, but Fernando would handle him as well, an yes may would be most difficult but vargas strength an will would give Floyd all he could handle

    The fact you think he got a gift against ike says all that needs to be said about your knowledge on the subject.

    Vargas would fair quite well, I'm pretty sure he'd obtain a belt or two. The only guys I see giving him trouble would be Lara and yes even Canelo because he would most certainly get into a war/brawl due to all the Incan testosterone in the ring.

    Being slick doesn't mean a guaranteed win everytime you fight .

    Andrade went life and death against Martirosyan didn't he ?

    Certain people felt that decision was questionable .

    Watching vargas vs trinidad right now!

    1.10-7 trinidad 2 knockdowns and dominated the round
    2.10-9 trinidad closer round but trinidad beats him to the punch.
    3.10-9 vargas Vargas times trinidad a bit better, and makes him miss.
    4.10-7 vargas Knockdown and a point taken off from lowblow
    5.10-9 vargas he outboxed him here, he whipped him good.
    6. 10-9 vargas makes trinidad miss and pay with great upperbody movement, landing jabs and double hooks. Trinidad slightly stuns vargas, and they duke it out in the last 20. fernando wins the exchange.
    7. 9-9 even. Another Lowblow from trinidad, It was a great start for felix landing a hellacious jab and a straight right, buckling vargas slightly. Just giving the round to trinidad due to workrate, but he ate vargas's left hand in the last 30 seconds. Close round.
    8. 10-9 Trinidad, another close round with both landing good shots. Trinidad lands the big right hand a few times, and a decent 1-2 recovering from a strong left hook. trinidad seems to have got his step back and landing well, He was hurt by a nice left hook/uppercut under the ribs and vargas landed some good stuff. Just trinidad.
    9. 10-9 Vargas. He established the jab earlier on and landed a good right hand lead left combo. First 2mins vargas incontrol. Then trinidad starts to land his big long right hand at 1:20, and he hurts vargas, he lands a few more right hands while vargas tries to evade. Vargas is getting hit but making him miss alot and digging in the body hook inclose. they are trading in the last 30seconds, vargas tries the macho act but gets hit and hes letting the round go, 20seconds in right that slightly halts trinidad. 2 short left hook from vargas inclose too nick the round!
    10. 10-8 Trinidad. 1 point taken away from vargas, a generous point from the ref. Trinidad lands the cleaner shots, and backs vargas up. Clear round for tito.
    11. 10-9 Vargas. Stick and move, jab and move, thats all you gotta do. Trinidad is chasing him and eating jabs. In the last 30 once again, Vargas eats a decent cross from tito, but then he stands and fights back landing a hook combonation.
    12. 10-7. Trinidad TKO.They exchange, tito lines up the left hook right on the button, vargas gets up, he is shook up, He tries to swing wildy with a wide left hook and eats a short one on the chin, down he goes again, that stinging short hook buzzed him more, reactions have gone...Fernando tries his best to slip,bob and weave his way from the incoming traffic, he tries holding on, but he is getting tapped and thats you need, and in the final pull back he gets Crossed with the equaliser. 3 knockdowns its over. Ref calls it off!

    Great Fight guys :D for me it was all up to the last round. And tito did end that in spectacular fashion.

    Wait what? Some people taught that fight was controversial? Wtf? who?? Also Vanes ain't no joke, but Andrade clearly won that fight. That's the fight that Andrade his hype.
