    Yep.He only had 31 fights and got a title shot after 14(talk about your career put on a plate,but thats a different thread)so its not like he had to get battered to fuk before he got his big chance.
    Never felt sorry for this guy as he strikes me as having a smooth path and plenty of opportunities others dont get...he didnt beat Jack **** before his title fight after 15 bouts.Most decent fighters would love that kind of chance.

    He didnt sound like the godfather thats for sure. Dude was over 250 when he had to make weight for the Mayorga fight. Vargas lived recklessly and fought the same way.

    I don't think he's that punch drunk. He sounds pretty happy and spoke fairly eloquently I thought. I'd have to listen to some earlier interviews to make a proper judgement but he seems reasonably well.
