Valero isn't more hittable lol... Bradley is a good fighter, but he will not beat Valero. Valero is the better boxer, and his speed and power will help him stop Bradley should they fight...
Again, from what I've seen from Bradley, he gets caught by counters. Bradley, I believe, is gonna test Valero early, gauge his punch, and then he's gonna try and outbox him after tasting it. Valero, who's speed also is underrated, is gonna throw quick, darting combos to create openings for exchanges with Bradley. I agree, Valero isn't going to allow himself to get tied up by Bradley. But he's gonna take shots from Bradley and I'm almost sure that Bradley's gonna put him down (but not out) with a quick, sharp counter...
Immense majority will say Bradley. After Valero destroys Peterson rather than having to UD him, maybe some will give Valero a chance.
Bradley winning by decision is precisely the problem I see for Desert Storm. That would mean he would have to weather 12 rounds of Valero's constant attack. Good luck with that! As for Valero not carrying his power moving up. . .maybe. But I wouldn't be so sure. He absolutely brutalized DLH in his sparring for the Pac fight and Valero himself accurately predicted a Pac KO when almost nobody was giving Pac a chance. Valero made his prediction based on his experiences sparring vs DLH. Valero would have beaten the DLH that fought Pac just as bad as Pac did imo.
The only thing that I see that Valero does is throw a lot of punches. Some of you make him sound like he's an extremely good boxer with great defense and hands of stone. Sorry I just don't see him as such.
UD Tim...I see Ed hurting Tim one or two times throught 12 competitve rounds where Tim wins enough to out weigh the KDs.
Are you seriously going to doubt Valero's power? To say that he ONLY throws a lot of punches and he doesn't have hands of stone, is completely ridiculous. The guy is probably the biggest puncher in the world, pound for pound. Anyway, Valero is all wrong for Bradley because he can throw his shots all night and have nothing to fear. The first man to beat Valero will either be very slick or have really good power, and Bradley has neither. He will eat too many punches, I think. Valero KO 11.
He has a 100% KO ratio in 27 pro fights. I didn't say he couldn't punch. You totally disregarded the other things listed like the boxing ability and the defense. Oh and Bradley's not slick. Ok then!
I didn't ignore them, I just don't think it's worth debating - You suggesting that Valero's power isn't special is worth debating. His boxing ability is fine. He does get sloppy at times but all his weaknesses come from the fact he's so dominant. He has an aura about him that scares opponents and he can afford to throw overreaching shots or neglect his defence. Bradley is fairly slick, but not slick enough. He's not that hard to hit and he likes a fight too much as well.
I still don't think you understood me. Try and follow me(no sarcasm involved). People make him out to be this great boxer with great defense yes we know he can punch but this is the total package that people make him out to be. All of these things combined and I just don't see it. That is what I was saying.
