Question About Edwin Valero.

Valero is 27 already so if he is gonna improve it'll need to be quickly.

I think a lot of Pacs improvement came about as he got older and stronger. He started very light and very young, but seems to get stronger every time he goes up on weight. Witnessed it again in the Diaz fight.

Valero in the gym looks like an Erik Morales type fighter, plenty of skill and speed to go with the power.

Unlike Erik, Valero seizes on fight night, looking for power and only power, robbing himself of his speed, ease of movement and skill.

The problem may be aleviated with expiereince, but he may well have won a world title too soon and arrived at the wrold stage a little to early.
