    If Miguel wants it at 147, he could have got it from Edwin V too.

    Finally someone is talking sense.

    Valero was a very good fighter, but he had his flaws. How can you say people say he would have been a future great based on wins over the likes of Antonio Demarco and Antonio Pitaliua? It's ludicrous. Furthermore, has any one here even seen Valero - Mosquera? I think watching Valero struggle in that fight might change a few peoples opinions on him. Future HOF'er? I don't think so.

    Edwin V breaks Devon A's cheekbone for real and gives him a true reason to cry about what happened unlike the Tim Brad fight.

    Agreed ... and for the fact that Bradley isn't a sharpshooter nor is he a power puncher, he would've gotten hospitalized.
    All those other guys wouldn't have been able to withstand the pressure. Valero was gunning for Pacquiao ... it would've been a great fight even though I think at the time and maybe even more so now Pacqiuao's skill set was on the rise. I also think the maybe the pressure could've made Pac exchange and get into a gun fight. He also KO's Khan ... I believe he would've been ducked all the way to Welterweight.

    Oh and Valero's power would've remained at welterweight.

    Both Maidana and Valero were big punchers, so it would have been an explosive fight, I'd give the edge to Valero (assuming his power could have continued on to 140lbs)...but Maidana is naturally heavy handed aswell.

    I'd give the edge to Valero because he showed a touch more boxing ability.

    Marquez would still embarrass Valero at 135lbs.

    I know you're from Grand Rapids, but Edwin V gives $ the toughest fight out of anyone, this includes Sexy Sergio and emmanuel!

    Based on what? His fights at 135lbs? Ridiculous.

    Oh, and the Pacquiao fight would not have been a great fight...easy night for Pacquiao.

    Edwin V would have further developed under the guidance of Nacho B. emmanuel would have been declined by then! Remember Edwin V would have fought emmanuel after emmanuel gets mentally destroyed by $

    Marquez, even at 135lbs was at least a level or two above anyone Valero stepped in the ring with.

    Marquez would try to piece his chin back together with salsa.

    Amir would try to piece his chin back together with curry!

    Nah, man. He hadn't even stepped in with anyone close to the top level.
