Thats why his KO percentage isn't higher i was watching a few of his early fights a few days ago and i noticed he had a low KO percentage, but thats because he was still a boy, even Kelly Pavlik said when he was a boy he wasn't a puncher until he become a man.Quote:

He's destroyed them. You can deny Valero's power if you want. But the great Erik Morales himself said Valero can punch. And Erik Morales opinion carries a lot more weight than yours.Quote:

They hyped valero up like that but only after he couldn't get the record did they test valero just a little with mosquera. Thats actually valero's only good win and his already going up near 30 years of age. Talk about pampered record man.Quote:

Valero could of done a lot better going places to places like winky did when he wasn't gettting the respect in the u.s. Mexico,Europe,Asia. in fact thats a featherweight champion named chris john in asia. why couldn't valero go up and see him? he went up and saw mosq but im pretty sure adding chris john would of been a lot better then the other 23 bums on his resume.Quote:

Valero has never fought at 126 in his life. Why would he drop down to that weight and travel to Indonesia to fight Chris John. How much sense would that make? Every one saw what happened to Marquez when he went over there. And you can't compare Winky situation to Valero. Winky got no respect in the US cuz of his fighting style. Valero couldn't get licensed in the US. Big difference.Quote:

he said he'd drop to 126 before for pac back when pac was still down in that division. And everybody was like valero is going to knock pac out. He could of drop down and knock john out no problem if his hype is that real. unlike jmm valero wouldn't let it go to the decision right?Quote:

Asking Valero to drop to 126 to fight Chris John is like asking Pavlik to drop to 154 to fight Cory Spink (if he was still champion). It makes no sense. And it's dumb. People want to see Valero fight. Nobody wants to see John fight. Valero is the bigger name. A big puncher. Big names and big punchers don't drop down in weight to fight runners.
so do you think valero can beat pac?
No. I think Pac will win a one-sided fight if he boxes. If he trades with him he gives Valero his only chance of winning. And yes I do think Valero has the power to hurt Pac. But it won't happen. Pac is not a stupid fighter. He won't fight Valero's fight. There is no need too.Quote:

As i've said before i think Valero is the new Daniel Ponce De Leon although not as strong as De Leon but pretty much the same IMO as in there both very limited. I think Valero gets crushed by Pacquiao unless he lands a very lucky punch, his defense is too leaky, he hasn't got good punching technique IMO he just swings for the fences, and he is far too slow and no one can stand toe to toe with Pacquiao at the moment and survive. And as for Joan Guzman i think he is very skilled and would give Pacquiao fits stylistically i think he is the worst fighter for Pacquiao to fight except Juan Manuel Marquez IMO.Quote:

Yep me too, It really depends who gets hit first, Pac is well schooled, But he does get hit and Valero can hit.... But so can Pac, I give the edge to Pac but Valero has a very good chance.Quote:

I couldn't stop laughing at the people who were actually thinking about it. I mean Valero had just won a title and the best opponent he had faced was Mosquera.
It was a bad idea then I still think it's a bad idea now.
On any other ocassion I would say that the fighter (in this case Pac) does not need a gimmie fight since Pac already had one with Diaz. But being that this is Pac and he's fought top caliber fighters I guess Pac can get away with it.
But my POV is that Pac blasts him out badly, just as bad as Diaz. If he doesnt it would be because Pac would be too cautios of Valeros power.
I would agree with your analysis CMM:cool:.Quote:
