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
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.
