I think they are former teammates. Arreolla would kill Vargas. The proper weight for Vargas is CW, but he clearly isn't interested in making that weight. He doesn't have the power (Haye) or the skill (Chambers) to compete with top HW's as a blown up Cruiser.

Of the recent US Amateur 200lbers, I rate Vargas behind both BJ Flores and Matt Godfrey. Those two are moderately successful at 200, but Vargas is going to get his head mashed in if he steps in with a quality Heavy.

Speaking of US Amateur champs, Godfrey is fighting Herbie Hide in March. That's going to be an interesting matchup, a good test for "Too Smooth."
