Venezuelen Punchers Jorge Linares and Edwin Valero

Linares is more polished but Valero is too big for him.. Valero is used to punking bigger fighters like Antillon and the santa cruz brothers.. I doubt linares can do the same.

 

They both have ton of potential.

 

TO me linares seems to be the better of the two. Valero wings his shots way too much and is gonna get schooled severely when he meets a counterpuncher with good defense.

 

Morales and Barrera had nothing but good things to say about Valero...

He's not without boxing skills and counter punching ability, that's for sure..

When he meets a well schooled boxer in it sprime, he would definitely change up his style and show other dimensions of his game.

 

I don't rate Linares.

I think Valero's better because he's the more dangerous, he's quicker and seems to have more of a killer instinct, and probably more power.

Linares is the more polished and skilled fighter being more of a boxer-puncher than an all-out slugger. but I think his lack of speed is going to be a hinderance if he tries to box guys more often.

Valero's speed, power and killer instinct ensures that he gets guys hurt and they stay hurt. At the level he's fighting at, anyway, it remains to be seen whether he can do it at the top level.

Same with Linares though, both unbeaten 2 weight world champions with potential, but neither have really stepped up to world-class level yet.

 

Robert Alcazar who trained delahoya earlier in his career was brought in to help remind and help him with his boxing skills.. Footwork, judging the distance, and the jab in particular.. Valero needed another trainer to take him to the next level and Alcazar was the man..

 

His jab certainly seems to have developed.

 

linares is the better fighter.

 

Nope I dont know who else he's training but im pretty sure that he was brought in by Arum... Smart move really.

 

Being the better boxer doesn't necessarily make somebody the better fighter.. We'll just have to wait and see.. Im high on both fighters regardless but im just saying.....

If that were the case, then Marquez should be considered as the much better fighter than Pac but alot of fans feel otherwise..
