u don't put a guy w/ vargas mentality and strategy; then put him in w/a killer in regards to off and power... Vargas has skills; but won't ever box, he always seeks to exchange or force the issue to get back at his opp instead of trying to outclass them or outbox an that is what made his fight w/tito ridiculous..cus he made it a point to fight titos fight.

not saying vargas needed to be protected; put him in w/good guys world class guys, just not killers....an that is wht they do.

i think b4 he fought bhops/after he fought tito vargas could really have put up a good fight; by this time hopkins was the slick/counter punching guy we see now and vargas still had something left to force those exchanges and put the heat on hopkins....

im sure hopkins outboxes nando, but it would be fun to watch because u would have a guy who was gonna try to fight bhops and not outbox him...
I don't putting vargas in with tito at that time was a bad idea. I think jay nady allowing the brutal beatdown continue too long was a bad idea.
