    Vargas. Easily. He was fighting big names in his 14th fight. Took Hatton 39.

    Tough one, Hatton will no doubt be above Vargas in many peoples minds but Vargas fought some of the best fighters in recent years and as mentioned never got totally battered at world level he made for some cracking competitive fights.

    I would have to say Vargas even though he was rushed and ruined.

    I'm thinking about going with Vargas too. LOL that was quick. I don't know, I haven't put a whole lot of thought into it. Its not a clear decision either way, they're pretty close.

    IMO its vargas. when he fought the big names he put up a good fight. hatton got blown out by Pac and outboxed and kod by floyd. Vargas gave Tito, Winky, Oscar, and Mosley tough fights.

    I'm gonna go with Vargas. His title run at IBF JMW ranks better than Hatton's run at JWW in terms of overall quality of opposition, and he fought significantly more top tier opponents.

    Hatton. Although I think if Vargas' career had been managed better, I'd be saying Vargas.

    Peter Buckely fought some great opposition too, but like Vargas he didn't beat them

    How many really good wins did he have? Quartey and ?

    All that said, I do think he was more talented than Hatton, just not as well managed

    None of them are better than Tszyu (but of course he was shot)

    Winky beat him clearly imo


    Don't know why I'm arguing I think Vargas was better. I'm just not sure his legacy will be
