Do I need to bring up Freitas' perfect KO streak again? Valero hit Demarco, an average 135lber, with one, two, sometimes three hard punches in a row...yet Demarco brushed them off and was never in any kind of trouble. Now go and look up Valero's record and tell me how many of those 27 KO's were against local hometown fighters. That's quite a stark contrast against Pacquiao who displayed phenomenal speed, power and punch resistance against the best fighters of the division. Pacquaio took Cotto's best punches and kept coming forward. You think Valero would handle a 145lb Cotto the way Pacquiao did? Cotto would snap Valero's head back with the jab and tear him a new vagina. Demarco's jab caused Valero problems in the first round, and even cut him. Hopefully Valero can finally step up to the big time, but time will tell.
The reason why Valero lacks respect is the quality of opponents he actually beat.. Mosqueda - class b pitalua - class b, was already aging when valero beat him demarco - class b the rest are TOMATO CANS...
That's a promise made to be broken. Pac makes 140 very comfortably, he can't even get up to a full 147. Either a good money fight at 140 will come along, or Pac will fight a little too long, like they all do, and eventually take a loss at 147 and come back down where he belongs. Especially if he keeps fighting only the top guys.
Try checking out the comments of pngo in the privious posts... I wouldn't be surprised he would agree to what cupid said.. I wouldn't be surprised too if they are one and the same person!:rofl:rofl
Valero handled that cut a lot better than Pac has in the past. Maybe if they are both cut by an accidental headbutt and Edwin can slip in a big ko shot while Manny has a meltdown for a couple rounds contemplating how much blood he's lost. Unlikely.
you both lack sense of humor mate. I was saying that in diff way, he just beating tomato cans and people are saying he should fight Pac , Bradly nd sum mentioned maywether somewhere. I like Valero but its ridiculous putting him at this point agains best light welters and welters. He should clean up LW first.
