Would have been a good scrap... But Valero Vs. Rios would have been an "EXPLOSION" @ 135lbs. (Danm! Shame) To answer your ? tho, I think Edwin would have been in the middle of everything 135lbs thru 147. (Maybe Maidana's size might/could have been to much tho??) Maidana is fun to watch, But Valero was special, IMO. (RIP Jennifer Carolina Viera de Valero)
I don't think Ed is resting "in peace" with where he's at but I got Edwin winning in a barn burner! The extra size and weight Marcos has would make it more competitive given Valero is smaller.
I'm not one of those guys who thinks Valero beats everyone just because he died undefeated with all KO wins, but I think Valero would have stopped Maidana.
Valero would win I like Maidana but he's crude wide with his punches and has stamina problems, he's quick on his feet and has power though but I'd still bet against him in that one regardless of weight.
Massive step up in class for 'El Killero'. Maidana by brutalisation. Maidana > Venezualan sanitation consultants.
