"I want to fight Manny Pacquiao. I want the opportunity. I spoke with Bob Arum before my fight and we had a serious talk and he explained to me that there was a very high possibility that if I beat Antonio DeMarco, I could get the opportunity," stated undefeated WBA jr. welterweight champion Jessie Vargas, who seems confident that he'll be next in line to face WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao. In fact, according to Vargas, his new trainer, future Hall of Fame Roy Jones Jr., is already working on the game plan to exploit the perceived weaknesses of the 8-division world champion.
"Roy Jones Jr. is already looking up a game plan on how to beat Manny Pacquiao and seeing the weaknesses that Manny Pacquiao has. And he's already explained to me a few of his weaknesses, so we will be ready," Vargas explained during a recent conversation with FightHype's Percy Crawford. "We will have enough time to prepare for him and we will have enough time to perfect our technique and to work on capitalizing on Manny's mistakes. I'm young, man. You gotta understand, I'm young, I'm hungry and I want it. I want it, you know what I'm saying, and Manny Pacquiao doesn't want it as much as I do."
