    WBC lightweight champion Edwin Valero (25-0, 25 KOs) has denied that he will fight contender Breidis Prescott on July 25th. “No one from Top Rank has discussed me fighting (Breidis) Prescott or me fighting on July 25th,” stated Valero. “The first time that I learned of the Prescott fight was when someone in my camp informed me that the fight was listed on the internet.” Valero had hoped for a unification megafight with WBO and WBA lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez but Marquez was recently announced as the foe for Floyd Mayweather Jr. in his July 18th comeback. “I only want to fight big names for big money,” outlined Valero. “A fight with (J.M.) Marquez for all of the titles would have been a big fight for big money but the fight is no longer possible. Prescott is not a big name and a fight with Prescott is not a big money fight.” Valero’s manager Jose Castillo outlined several possible challengers to his fighter, including Joel Casamayor, Zorrita Soto, Urbano Antillon or Juan Diaz. “I will fight anybody but the money has to be right,” stated Valero. WTF?:huh

    Nothing says big fight like a fight against relative unknown like Urbano Antillon.

    Guzman probably still has problems with the WBC when the Campbell fight fell thru. But, yes, he is a worthy challenger.

    It's too early for Valero to be asking for big money fights.

    It's sad to hear this. :-(

    Valero hasn't accomplished anything yet for him to dictate his purse. :deal

    As to the Prescott fight . . . I can see his worry :D . . . Prescott would beat him into his own game. The guy is bigger than him . . . has longer reach . . . better footwork and power. :hey

    Don't think he is going to try and make 135 anymore. He does not seem to have much desire for boxing these days.

    Prescott does nothing for Valero. He won't get any credit for fighting him. I already told people that the fight was not set awhile ago. There's some issue with Arum getting the deal done. I don't remember the details. Fleaman knows them.

    This bum hasn't fought anyone and wants big money. He can fight JMM if he wants, for a 90/10 split.
