I saw one of his early fights about 5 or 6 years ago but couldn't remember who this maniac was. I believe that the guy he beat up that night was the first guy to last more than 1 round with him. Before the opening bell rang, his cornerman was holding him back. From what I remember, this guy was a maniac and I see he is still undefeated. Thoughts?
if you are starting a thread on Valero by asking how good he is..because its been 5 years since you saw him..... you are not much of a boxing fan......and shouldnt be starting dopey threads
The different question is ... if valero can only hit then why the other guys are getting KOed in 100%? So Maybe Valero has some skills which allow him to hit cleanly, accurately and hard enough ... isn't that what is expected from good boxer?
He's going to be the LW Edison Miranda, solid power but will fail at the elite level and be a permanent gate keeper.
He can defeat Katsidis, David Diaz and probably Casamayor and Juan Diaz. Funeka, Guzman and Soto all will beat him though.
He has the potential to develop into a greater fighter than Pacquiao because he has a naturally stronger punch and, in my opinion, is a more ferocious personality. He has the potential to be one of the greatest fighters of our era. He may have to lose a couple of times on the way in order to see his limitations and elevate his game but he has God-given talents and skills that very few fighters have. He aslo has a great ability for counter-punching that people are probably not aware of. To top it all off, he is left-handed, as you all know. I am a Pac admirer and do not question his greatness. However, if you analyze them side-to-side and fight-by-fight at this exact point in their careers, 26 pro fights, Valero is objectively superior at this point. At this point, Pac already had one loss to a pure journeyman and had not yet won a belt. Valero is undefeated at this point and has already owned two-belts. Flame me all you want. . .I'm used to it.
