Did you watch Valero in against DeMarco? Flat footed he was not. Made Demarco look a plain and straight pedestrian plodder. His footwork, speed, combinations and accuracy was quite something to watch I thought. And he fought with a huge gash from an elbow very early too for the whole fight nearly.
Valero was such a tragic tale. The head injury. When he fought and trained in US early in the career-he was not only lauded for his power, but also his boxing skills (which he displayed a little bit of that against Demarco).

Then the injury-goes overseas and by all accounts was training himself. Whatever boxing skills he had deteriorated.

A fight with Pac would have been fun, but only if Valero had a decent trainer and sparring for a few fights to really work on getting his technique in order.
