    Look how big he is here

    Listen to him too, he don't wanna take anymore punches he is punch drunk. It was a huge shame he was rushed but he still fought his heart out no matter who he faced.
    I agree with you on everything except him being punch-drunk. He was in a major movie not long ago, in which he was pretty good, & I've seen other recent interviews where he talks pretty clearly. I think this is more of a one-off interview where he's a bit inarticulate rather than evidence he's punch drunk.

    Vargas does serve as Exhibit A though every time that we talk about a fighter being rushed. Not everyone can be a Tszyu or De La Hoya & be ready for world titles & the opposition that brings by their 15 pro bout

    Vargas sounds completely punch drunk, almost on a par with James Toney. The film he made, Alpha Dog was filmed around 3 years ago, and he did sound fine then but now he doesnt. Not only is his speech incoherent and slurred, he also has the blank/confused facial expression shown by fighters who have taken a few too many.

    Man I didn't know he was slurring that bad. Yeah his speech is pretty incoherent. He reminds me of Meldrick Taylor in that interview on HBO's legendary nights.

    They actually needed subtitiles for one portion of the Taylor interview if I remember correctly

    I've heard him in other interviews as well. And he sounded fine to me. I don't think Vargas is punch drunk. I think he was actually drunk. Or buzzing pretty damn good.
