Valero will be great, just not yet

IMHO Valero proved nothing with the win over Pitalua, Sure he seemed much improved from previous fights but he still has room for improvement.

He should face Reyes, Khan, Marquez then maybe he can think of the big names, right now going after Manny would not be very smart. he could definitely win but it would be tough, Manny's defense has improved over the years and he's not the same wild man he was, This is why I see Valero winning against him, because he is reminiscent of a younger pacquiao, balls to the wall action. Manny has become a bit complacent as of late, he could have FINISHED DLH and he backed off, a younger Manny would have never done that, I understand respect for your idol but DLH didn't hold back against Chavez, and neither will Valero against Manny.

So for the Manny fans, you're right, your man would win IF THEY FOUGHT TODAY, but if Valero follows the right path which I believe he's on w/ Alcazar you have something to be worried about, This is the man to dethrone Manny.

 

This is what I mean, he needs to step up with better fighters and all the kinks will be worked out as long as he keeps training w/ alcazar.

 

I admire your eloquence in debating your point. However Reyes, Khan and Marquez in that specific order would be a GREAT way for Valero to get his name out there, Defeating these opponents in THAT specific order with Hatton thrown in there somewhere would more than likely lead to Pacquiao who is the ultimate goal for Valero.

Don't let the fact that you admire a fighter take away from the fact that someone else might be better than your guy, Manny IS a better fighter than Marquez, it doesn't mean that Marquez sucks, nor does it take away from his accomplishments, there's always someone out there better.
