So have we just lost potentially one of the best fighters ever..?

[Jody Lane]

Edwin Valero is the only fighter in History to have a 100% KO Record and is in the Guiness book of records for the most consecutive KO's also.

Would he have battered Manny down with his ferocious power..?

That fight was 100% on the horizon no question.

This 5 min highlight video has got some fierce KO's and he's not just knocking them out he's battering them unconcious with some sickening shots , head and body.

Check it out......... and what a waste of a fighter.

Actually Lamar Clark is in the Guiness Book with 44 onsecutive KOs. Course his record is inundated with wrestlers posing as boxers and no hopers.

He was a good fighter, but you'd struggle to say he'd proved himself as even one of the 20 best in the world, let alone ATG material. Mosquera is by far his best win, DeMarco is decent & I know everyone was raving about how skillful he looked, but you have to remember that DeMarco was no 135 southpaw Hearns, he was getting outboxed by Adjaho in his previous fight until the Ghanaian bizarrely quit.

I think that a fight with Pacquiao would have been thrilling for all of 2/3 rounds before Manny stopped him. I wouldn't have favoured him against Marquez at 135, or any of the top 140lbers, so any talk of him beating Pacquiao is laughable to me.

Exciting fighter does not equal ATG. His early demise does not make him the KO version of Salvador Sanchez.

Yeah Valeros legend will grow now that he is gone. He was a great talent but to say he would beat an ATG who is proven like Pac is probably going a bit overboard.

He could have been an ATG but we will never know and some other outside the ring antics would have eventually caught up with him if this hadnt happened.

Definitely sad to see.

I think he meant most consecutive 1st round KOs which Valero was in the guiness book of redords for but that has now been beaten.

Who holds the record now?
