Where do y'all rate Oscar Valdez? Amongst; Frampton, LSC, GRJ and Lee Selby? I have him right behind Frampton. I think he has the best power in the division, puts his punches together the best, and definitely the best left hook. But, Frampton is a more complete fighter to me, with his ++ defense. SO what y'all think?
Starting from the bottom- Lee Selby LSC The other 3. GRJ can be a problem for almost anyone with his fast hands, but his ring IQ isn't all that. Frampton is good defensively but I feel like the right boxer could exploit his short reach. Valdez looks good and is a skilled boxer-puncher who I'd favor over Selby and LSC, but for the most part is still unproven at the top level.
i think valdez can go through all of them if he works his way from weakest to strongest. he is just 25 and has yet to peak both physically and technically. power, speed, athleticism, intelligence, pedigree, and also well schooled. i would go after selby, then russel, and have the superfight vs frampton. maybe fight santa cruz in the build up to frampton.
I think he is the most likeable personality so I want him to do well and I'm aware it might make me be slightly bias but I really rate him, there is a lot to like. At this moment in time I'd take him to beat Selby and LSC but GRJ and Frampton would be tough asks, a few fights down the line I hope I will be saying I'd take Valdez to beat them all.
In terms of skill number 1.. in terms of resume, number 3 behind Frampton and LSC. I'd like to see him fight JOJO or cueller after his next fight. Or unify with Selby.
