Edwin Valero Rumored as Next for Pacquiao
influential Japanese boxing man and prominent business leader Akihiko Honda that Valero, who has been living in Japan, said Valero would fight Pacquiao next.Honda promotes the undefeated 25-year-old southpaw Valero.
Months ago, Golden Boy Promotions vice president Eric Gomez told Viva Sports/Standard Today that Valero will have to pass a medical test in the US before he is cleared to fight, following a nasty motorcycle accident several years ago.
At the same time, Gomez said Golden Boy has Valero under contract for fights in the US.

i could of sworn ARUM promoted EV tho?
Re: Edwin Valero Rumored as Next for Pacquiao
I would love to see that fight.
Re: Edwin Valero Rumored as Next for Pacquiao
Pac-man would destroy Ev, it would be Hamed-Barrera all over again. Only Difference being pac would Ko him.
Re: Edwin Valero Rumored as Next for Pacquiao
I dunno yeno, I give EV a chance. He can't stop knocking people out.
Re: Edwin Valero Rumored as Next for Pacquiao
This is one of those cases where a young fighter (that has been fighting low level oppenets and knocking them out), goes after the baddest and best around but miserably gets expose.
Pacman by knock out 5th round, then hopefully we can move on to a Real fight between pac and jmm the rematch.

Arum promotes guzman, i remember before pac resigned with arum, there were talksa bout arum getting pac and guzman together for a fight, but i guess it never develop.
Re: Edwin Valero Rumored as Next for Pacquiao
Hope this doesn;t happen, too early for EV, he's got a bright future but he has only had one decent opponent thus far and to put him in with the pacman is career suicide at this point.

Nope,from what I know and have read. Valero is certainly not promoted by Arum and Guzman is promoted by Golden Boy/Sycuan Promotions.I can post a link if you like.

Pac would probably beat Valero but I'd bet anyone on this forum that Valero would hurt Pac. Valero is going to get better and better and the only style that would expose him would be that of a slick boxer,certainly not Pac's style. El Inca is bigger than Pac,hits harder and would counter Manny on the way in. Manny would eventually overwhelm him and win but Valero would give him problems for sure. I don't want to see this fight yet,Valero is still too raw.
Re: Edwin Valero Rumored as Next for Pacquiao
Not see much of Valero heard he is banger but i think he is bit too green and shouldn't fight Pac yet.
Re: Edwin Valero Rumored as Next for Pacquiao
He prob shoudln't fight him yet, but I think it'd be an exciting fight.

Absolutley. Valero gives Manny all he can handle before being taken out.

You are spot on. Let Valero fight some more before he "steps up" too high.
Re: Edwin Valero Rumored as Next for Pacquiao
i agree he needs to fight more fighters first before he faces pac, pac would just have too much for him at this moment in time.

Don't do it Edwin your gonna get stomped, overwhelmed and just flat out beat by Pac. I don't care how hard you hit, you more then loose the battle in skills alone, theres a HUGE gap between the fighters you've fought and Pac. IMO Edwin should take on someone like Barrios or Baloyi. Not Pac just yet.
Thats just my :twocents:
