WBA 'regular' junior welterweight champion Jessie Vargas (26-0, 9KOs) is hoping to be the lucky recipient of the Manny Pacquiao sweepstakes in early 2015. But if he misses out, he'd like to unify his title with the WBA's full champion, who also holds the WBC crown, Danny "Swift" Garcia (29-0, 17KOs).
Whether or not Garcia will remain at 140-pounds is still up in the air. Since a one-sided blowout of Rod Salka in August, Garcia has been quiet regarding his future plans and his return date is unknown.
"I would love that fight, I think that it’s a great match up. I think we have a lot of great fights that could be made, that being one of them. He’s an undefeated fighter, I’m an undefeated fighter, I think it would be a great fight and I would love for it to happen. Now Golden Boy and Top Rank are working together so it’s a fight that could possibly happen in the near future," Vargas told On The Ropes Boxing Radio .
"We just have to wait and see; right now we don’t have any fight scheduled so everything is open. We just have to wait and see, I know my promoter Bob Arum and my manager are working on something now. I believe that fight definitely could happen."
