Edwin Valero in the current 140.. prolly would have put Lucas to sleep

[Violent Demise]

He was a monster . Ive seen him up close many times while training in LA and he was a beast kind of like what GGG is today. Many people know him as a brawler but he actually had great technical skills. He just chose to slug.

Guys like garcia wouldnt even have got near a title if valero was fighting in the division.. lucas is just a one trick pony and valero would have kicked his ass all the way back to argentina.

How many of you liked the venom?

By the time of his death Valero was still one-dimensional fighter, Lucas is also one-dimensional, but with worse power and stamina, worse quality in punches. This is why I favor Valero for 6th round KO or TKO

How can you come to the conclusion that Matthysse has worse stamina when he's arguably gotten stronger in the late rounds of big fights while Valero has seen a 10th a grand total of 1 time and never a final bell?! Valero looks like a cave man chucking boulders compared to a Matthysse delivery.

Valero win over Vincente Mosquera in Panama trumps Matthysse best win against Peterson

Yep. But a lot of these guys in here dont even know who mosquera is and how dangerous he was at the time.

Mosquera was a good fighter but he wasn't king kong. Panama had a shot in the arm with mass championship weekend yr earlier...helluva war btw.. and it was an insane enviroment but it also showed how a guy with ok pop could walk in on Valero early and land repeatedly.

Neither was Lamont Peterson. Who you think was a better fighter? Mosquera or Peterson? Obviously I'm talking about there prime versions and not the current ones
