What! didnt you see the Pacquaio vs Cotto 24/7 he could hardly swim, he has only just taken it up as a part of his training!

Yeah he was only doing it because he couldn't do his running (weather conditions, and he wasn't exactly a strong swimmer) As an aside, it's a long stretch to bring up Valero as a swimmer to relate Pac into the topic.
Back to the topic, Valero is exciting and he has some good reactions, he is brave enough to test his skill against anyone it seems. But he is not invincible, one of these days he's going to fight someone that's one step too slick and just a hair faster than him.
Nothing but respect for Valero. All of what he has accomplished lately makes Vicente Mosquera look very good, if he just wouldn't have ended up in jail.........

For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
