    I'm gonna try and follow you...What do you think that Bradley can do against Valero that's gonna translate into victory? I'm curious to know why you think he'd prevail? And please, no canned responses. Just some insight into how you think the fight will play out,ie, tactics, strategies, etc.

    I give Bradley the edge because he can be the pressure guy or the boxer. Valero has one gear and that's drive. He hasn't shown that he can box if his pressure is not working out. He would be countered continuously imo. People say that Bradley can't punch but he has dropped Peterson with one punch,Witter with one punch, and these are fighters that don't go down. Level of opposition goes to Bradley. Valero with his aggression could spell trouble for himself. Oh somebody should tell him chin down and mouth closed. As strong as Valero is I don't think he can hurt Bradley, because he's not going to be there to be hit like a DeMarco. DeMarco can't hold Bradley spit bucket and Valero wasn't able to knock him down. Go figure. Better boxer, durable chin, very conditioned. What happens if Bradley is getting the better of Valero on the inside. :thinkCan you say blowout. Just a few things that come to mind.

    You didn't make any comment about his power when praising him. Even if you backtrack on that now, it doesn't matter. In your first post, you ignored his power which is either a big mistake or you underestimate it.

    I don't think he is the complete package either, but I don't think many people do. They know he has his limitations but he's a very formidable fighter because his strengths are so strong, it's hard to exploit his weaknesses. People say that he has his chin up high, but is that a weakness, if the only way to exploit it, is to trade with him?

    Peterson couldn't really catch bradley when he had him up against the ropes... but I have seen many a valero fight end that way as soon as the ropes stop the opponent from backing up further

    not that, but De Marco has the style attribute to beat him. a boxer and counterpuncher. he's difficult to measure like Pacquiao because he fights awkwardly and attacks in a disorderly manner.

    Demarco he has a nice jab and can counter but he doesn't have fast hands, good defense or footwork. Bradley would tool Valero based on his level of opposition and his skills. Valero is a poor man's Pac.
