    THIS would have been one hell of a fight!

    How do you see it unfolding?

    Vargas was a bit of a bully but I need to see more from Canelo before I can pick against Fernando here. It is a great matchup and would have been an epic brawl. Canelo doesn't have Tito's power or Oscar's speed so I think it would have went to the trenches and not sure who comes out as a winner.

    Good matchup!

    IMO 23 yr old Vargas has the edge over the current Canelo.

    Canelo doesn't have the balls, heart, stamina or chin to hang with a prime Vargas. Who thinks he's in DLH or Tito's class?

    The guy's last fight showed him putting no effort against Mayweather at all and he barely got by Trout. He's scared to get hit and has a stamina problem. Likewise Canelo has yet to stop a LMW of any ranked level.

    Vargas in 5 rounds.

    EASY brutal KO by Vargas. Not even on the same league.

    Vargas had better technical skills and was more talented, IMO.

    He wins this one.

    Vargas schools him, Canelo would win no more than 3 rounds.
