Ortiz thought he was too young and pretty to war with Rene. He don't want it with a lunatic suicide bomber like Edwin V.
come on man... Valero was pushing it to fight at 135. You're trying to match him up against a bigass welterweight? How about Valero v. Hopkins??
Mayweather sees Edwin's long hair, goes into wifebeating mode, and it's all downhill for Edwin V from there.
at 140 - I'd pick Valero. Providing he carrys his power up there. Valero was the truth. That guy would have been a boxer that would have been remembered forever.
If Valero had ever had a chance to step up in competition, he would have had a string of loses, a la Breidis Prescott.
Moscera was a MUCH better fighter than Prescott, he was a beast himself. DeMarco is also better than Prescott.
That wouldnt of happend! ... Edwin Valero would of beat rios to a pulp! Mother ****er was going to be a bad ass.. With a healthy mind and a good trainer that guy would of been in the P4P top 5 by 2012/2013!
