Where does Oscar Valdez fit in the scope of today's best?


3 years @ Feather. His breakout fight for me was the Quigg fight.

At 1st I thought he was just a solid fighter as Quigg busted that azz, jaw, nose, bloodied. total war against IMO another solid, but not a great fighter in Quigg.


With Berchelt there are 2 compromising issues for Oscar's win. 1- is the recovering from covid. the 2nd is Berchelt's way to win was never going to be about being the slicker fighter, nevertheless, this leads to what does make a good fighter great: finding ways to win.


Shakur Stevenson, Rhakimov, Herring, Diaz Jr & of course Tank. Some potential fireworks here.


Can he become the star of the division? I'm thinking Tank's time at this weight is limited.
Who should he fight next or most likely opponent be?


I thought the sparring session with the bigger Canelo revealed the limitations of Valdez. No way should a guy as big as Canelo make this guy miss as clear as he was. Sparring only, but if he can't catch a guy whose standing in front of him, not sure if he can last with Tank who isn't a stand-in-front fighter.
