I'd take Hope if he could make Vargas take his act on the road. I sure don't think Vargas would be successful travelling in those shoes and would be flat enough to drop a decision or maybe get busted up for a stoppage loss.
Maurice would be taken out mid to late rounds in a similar fashion to how Bunny Sterling did. Vargas would take his punch better than he could take Fernando's. On a side note: Sterling and Hope's feud was eerily similar to Terry Norris and Paul Vaden's.
