espn's around the horn: "vargas cancelled fight b/c he was 100 lbs overweight!"

I think he is desperate now because of the cancelled fight. And what is a nice way to forget about the problem than to eat! He may be past 300lbs now. lol

 

The whole thing regarding this fight and its postponement/cancellation is fishy, and it's all on Vargas' end. If he doesn't make weight by the new date, he should be heavily fined and Mayorga should move on.

 

they actually talked about boxing on espn other than on fnf? i am amazed

 

Not so....

A few years back I was in a car accident. Herniated some disks (plus some other injuries) in my back and couldnt workout/exercise for about a year. Now I am short (5'6), but am always in very good shape. At the end of the year tho, without being able to shed it, I was up to 185-190...and I didnt really look that out of shape. Now Vargas, at 5'11 could easily have weighed 250-260 in some of those pictures where he looks huge.

I mean I had other things going on (wife was pregnant...so I ate ALOT), but from personal experience, I am telling you that he easily couldve been at that weight.

(oh and BTW, I am back down around 150 now...so please no fatty jokes...ya missed your oppurtunity )

 

Who was it? Someone with any credible ties to boxing?

 

I weep for the mighty warrior Vargas. He does not deserve to be disrespected.

Anywhich way, I heard on these boards that he suffered from an illness, that made him gain all those lbs. Furhtermore, I have heard only a few weeks ago that he wasn't far from making weight.

So what is the real deal?

 

who won Woody paige, he wins like damn near all the time, or Calashaw.

 

I just don't believe Vargas was ever that heavy. I know he's had problems with his weight for a long time now, but I just don't see reaching 260lbs, even if he ate what he wanted, whenever he wanted etc. Fernando is only 5'10, so he would be morbidly obese if he were 260lbs.

I reckon his health would be on the boarderline aswell. Vargas has a thighroid problem, so you would think he'd be extra careful in respect of putting on too much weight, eating a sensible diet etc. People cannot help you if you're not prepared to help yourself.

I think the figure of 260lbs is an exaggeration by Vargas, in order for people to believe that he really, really struggled to make weight for fight, which he did, but for it to appear more extreme than it actually was/is.

Damn, Mike Tyson probably only weighs 260lbs 7 he's much bigger than Vargas, despite being near the same height.

Has anyone seen Mayorga lately, because I think Vargas might have eaten him?

 

Is it the guy who has his own show too? If it's the one that interviewed Floyd a while back, that guys is fairly knowledgable.

 

Stephen A. Smith.

 

So the guy is saying ie is 270 pounds??? The guy is chatting ****.

 

Calm down - it's still just rumours and speculation.
