Edwin Valero Cleared To Fight in Texas!

[C-Lo]

I wouldn't be surprised if we actually get to see Guzman vs Valero in the near future. Neither of those two will be able to see Pacquiao anytime soon. Guzman because Arum was not so happy with Guzman's running against Soto and Valero would need to work his way up to make it a big money fight.

Golden Boy has Guzman and Marquez in their roster so I also wouldn't be suprised to see that happen either. That would be a great fight and also would add to either's "money making ability" and wouldn't hurt their legacies either.

This is a Valero thread, how did I end up focusing on Guzman?!

It's not that hard seeing as how he is NEVER talked about. Could be the most talented boxer in all the sport and no one talks about him ever. Even I'm guilty and I'm a fan, the guy is a marvel to watch but for whatever reason just doesn't have a buzz.

true! i loved his last fight damn he dominates!

he schooled ummm whats his name soto bad.

Yeah he did. A pretty highly regarded Humberto Soto who a lot of people wanted to see fight Pac.

Back on the subject of Valero. Part of what made him such a phenom, in addition to his knockout streak, was his high profile sparring sessions. Here is one of them with Bobby Pacquiao conquerer Urano Antillon. It's old but, given Urbano's big win, it's worth another look.

So impressive is Valero in these sparring sessions, makes me think he can box a little.

Manny Pacquiao and Edwin Valero actually sparred before. According to this Pacquiao interview IN TAGALOG...

Pac said "Valero is just a mediocre puncher with a big mouth, that's what he really is".

I don't think it was because of how good Soto was that made people want to see him fight Manny, it was more of Soto just knocked out Bobby Pacquiao. It was more of "you beat my brother, now see if you could beat me?" Similar to the Donaire brothers and Darchynian situation...

A lot of people on here wanted to see that fight immediately after Soto beat Humberto Toledo on Versus in that comeback fight where he looked very good. Gamo in particular really talked him up as an opponent and had a lot of people calling for that matchup so I wouldn't say it was a "you beat my brother" thing, otherwise Pacquiao would be fighting a lot more opponents

No doubt about it, Soto is a genuine contender.
