    I think Valero was a bit overrated tbh. He fought no one.

    Demarco was the best he fought and the 2 fights prior to that were against a 36 and a 40 year old, which is very old at light weight.

    He had almost no noticeable defences.

    His punch accuracy was disgusting.

    He was dropped by Mosquera and appeared very hurt, but he did good to come through, but Mosquera was not a puncher, he had like 40% knockout ratio.

    I hate Broner and I think he is overrated also but someone as accurate as him would knock the wild Valero out

    To me, Valero's skills greatly eroded over the years after his accident and he became a wild slugger instead of the boxer/puncher he was supposed to be.

    I loved Valero, a dynamite punching slugger is always a treat for boxing fans, but the fact is there were big flaws in his game and he was there to be hit. Besides a 40 year old Pitalua and Demarco, he had very few live opponents. Even Mosquera damaged him a lot in their fight.

    To say he would whip a guy like Pacquiao... damn, I just don't see that. Valero will go down as another unfortunate "what if" story in boxing. He was on the verge of fighting champs and really proving himself, but then he went nuts.

    And I don't really care about the "legendary stories" of his gym war exploits... who really cares. He never beat anyone.

    Mosquera was a very good fighter. Valero went into his home town and took the title in front of a hostile crowd. It was a very impressive performance

    Valero v Garcia, that would be a fun fight. Id say Matthysse, Pac, Alvarado, Allakverdiev, Bradly, Alexander, Floyd, Marquez all beat him tho

    I have never had the privilege of seeing Valero fight, all I know was he was a brutal puncher, has a brain injury which stopped him fighting in big venues and he was a wife beating murderer who committed suicide.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Alleged wife beater. No need to slander the mans name.

    Hence the word "mad" being associated with him.
