Pacquiao sees Valero as only worthy opponent

[El Gamo]

we'll see EG, we'll see. imo jmm is the more difficult fight and could be a long night for both. as for valero, i don't feel he can hang with manny. his chance is to finish off the pac early which really wouldn't result in extensive damage same as with all valero's previous abbreviated fights. long hard fights are more damaging.

JMM is DEFINITELY the more difficult fight. I didn't say anything to the contrary! Believe me,when he feels Valero's power,he'll never have felt anything like it. And if he doesn't finish Manny early,Valero will get KTFO. For those early 4-5 rounds,he can knock Manny out. He is a freak,seldom does a fighter possess such power.

manny's punches are faster while valero throws wider punches. if manny connects early and frequently, valero wouldn't be able or would be wary to throw his power punches.

Sure Valero does but Manny isn't a defensive genius. Valero will land,I have no doubt about that and you're forgetting the new "technical" Manny. And Manny maybe faster but no matter what anyone says or does,he will always have 1 achilles heel:he cannot fight getting backed up.

I'd pick Manny to win for sure but I guarantee that Valero would either drop him or hurt him early.

Seldom do I have such belief in someone's power, but this guy's power is awesome. I've never seen a sparring session stopped because of a head punch! I'd never ever seen Morales seriously hurt until V nom rocked him to his boots in sparring.

same thing goes for valero. cannot fight backing up and if manny catches him first he could be in real trouble. with regards to the sparring, morales was testing his defences against valero. i've seen valero spar with suico, although he was outboxing the pinoy wasn't really hurting him that much. and sparring is way different from an official fight, you just can't base it on that.

Valero has outboxed the Santa Cruz brothers,and Morales in sparring using his footwork. And sparring or not,if you rock someone,hurt them,you have power. That's nothing to do with sparring.

I'm a huge Morales fan and he may have been testing his defence but he was hurt.

anybody could get hurt if you let them hit you especially from a powerful puncher like valero. but in an official fight i'd still go for morales or barrera against your v-nom. you might have been forgetting the mosquera fight. how would you rate mosquera against erik or marco? they aren't even in the same league and yet mosquera gave valero fits and even managed to put him down.

Mosquera is a B level fighter. Morales and MAB would beat him but he'd give both a good fight. And I didn't say MAB and MAB wouldn't beat him,did I?? In the Mosquera fight,Valero fought a heavy handed fighter,in his backyard and knocked him out. I think you're forgetting Valero is still inexperienced. He still has time to learn,grow.
