I respect their wars, they were phenomenal some of the best boxing in recent years all 3 of them. As posted on numberous threads here Vazquez is awaiting surgery on his eye. He is an official Emeritus Champ like Vitali was giving him a shot to fight in an eliminator immediately following his return. The issue is he may never be the same, he has a retinal tear which is serious business and surgical repair is not a certainty.

Rafa is probably going to be out of the game for a while longer, and I doubt he will still have the reaction time he had going into the first conflict with Vazquez. Five wars in a row 2 against Mabuza and 3 against Vazquez will take there toll on anyone. 2009 will show a definate changing of the guard at 122.
