Similar posting styles, somewhat similar usernames, Valero avatars...

boxer was a bit of a *****.

 

Mosley belongs in Fantasy fights with Roberto Duran:

Edwin Valero belongs in fantasy fights with Humberto Soto and Michael Katsidis. The difference in class and achievement could hardly be wider between modern lightweight titlists. Could Valero jump up to 147, have a few fights then face a prime Oscar de la Hoya and win? Nothing about beating an old Velazquez suggest Valero would have been anything short of Darryl Tyson'ed by Oscar if he tried that.

 

who did exactly Valero beat to be in the same sentence with shane mosley?

 

Tony DeMarco. :yep

Not even THE Tony DeMarco.

 

Wasn't that the guy in the TV series Taxi?

 

where is this too skilled? Mosley has never been a smart fighter. His boxing IQ is his weakness.

 

Boxing IQ=/=Skill as a whole. Mosley is a very skilled fighter who is lacking in some areas, boxing IQ being one of them.

 

At least I got a professional boxer!

 

:good

Interestingly, the young Tony Danza was hell bent on boxing and just dabbling in acting for shits and giggles; it was the successful audition for Taxi that led to him switching careers.

There is a street in Boston's historic North End named after 50's Tony DeMarco - whose 135/140lb version would have lost to Mosley every time and beaten Valero every time.

 

Hard to judge especially since we haven't seen what Valero was really capable of.

 

Valero gets slaughtered...Mosley has never been dropped or even hurt at 135 and has been a champ as high as 154....Mosley has never lost to a brawler up to this point and in his prime he wouldnt end thread

 

Mosley whoops his ass.
