Thread: Vargas on if De La Hoya is out of His System & Disses Mosley

In a recent teleconference to help hype Mosely vs. Vargas the Rematch, Vargas answered many questions from the media. One of the most interesting questions was not related to his upcoming July 15th bout with Mosely but on Oscar De la Hoya.

The media asked Vargas if Oscar was out of his system?

Vargas' response to the question: "If he wants to fight me, he can come to 160. I am not going to make a sacrifice or a detrimental decision to my health or to my performance. I would rather be strong at 160. I run an hour, or sometimes
and hour and a half. What fighter does that? It would be at 160."

Vargas was also asked if he could be that guy that was tearing everyone up a few years ago?

Vargas dissed Mosely for not wanting the rematch and responded to the question with: "I think I have shown that. I have beat guys like Castillejo and Joval, and like I said, I know Shane didn’t want this fight. He got talked into it. He didn’t even want to be at the press conference after the fight and he was the winner. He didn’t want to catch me because he knew I was going to call him out. He knows and the world knows he didn’t want this fight. He’s doing it for the money and I’m doing it for the vindication on July 15.'

Yeah - I'm pretty sure it's live. Sky have been really good at showing good fights for free over the past six months

(of course, I know it's not free as you have to subscribe to the channel, but it's not EXTRA, so you know what I mean)

De La Hoya should be out of his system right now considering that Oscar did not taunt him after he KO'D him, the grudge is over let it go.
