    I think Valero fighting Pac now is a step too far, Pac would win, but i think Valero will be in the top 10 P4P withing the next 18 months to 2 years.

    I don't see how his power is a myth?? Regardless who he has fought you don't get 26 KO's if you don't have decent power. His skills have improved, i was impressed with him in his last fight, and his opponent although fringe world contender wasn't no bum. Plus that cut on his forehead? That would have caused a lot of boxers to quit.

    Im not doubting he doesn't have power but people are acting as if he's going to spark top opposition when aesthetically it doesn't appear he's a lower weight Julian Jackson or whatnot.

    Yep. In the pantheon of 'punching sensations' I wouldn't rank him that high.

    Valero has major flaws...not least of which is the fact that he hangs his chin out when he throws a jab...when he fights someone top draw they will take full advantage.

    Neither would I but his record speaks for itself.
    I dont think he has one punch KO power but he is heavy handed.
    Watch his last fight again and be honest with yourself.

    Dont get me wrong I did say I thought Pac would beat him (if he fought the right fight ;) ).
