He has about the same number of championship fights as Vargas has fights period. But on the flip side I get the feeling that Vargas will overcome all this. It's been said before that Vargas is just as 'precocious' as he is 'ferocious'. Vargas has certain intangibles that can't be measured. His anger and attitude one of them.
Some guys fight with a chip on their shoulder.
Vargas fights with 'the Rock of Gibraltar' on his. Before he may have been only capable of finishing a 10K. The biggest intangible concerning Vargas is also the greatest irony. Where at times he may be out of control outside the ring, he is cool and calculating in it. He has shown in fights against more experienced fighters like Quartey and Yory Boy Campas, that he is capable of executing carefully crafted game plans. And I think the game plan will be fairly simple.
