Edwin Valero

Valero is the most overhyped fighter in boxing today. All of those knockouts don't impress me at all. The guy has no defense........and the guy can't BOX!!!!!!!He gets hit too much and OK....he hits hard but that's not enough. I know perhaps some out there are comparing him to Pacquiao but it's not a fair assessment. Valero is a crude talent with no technique.

Joan Guzman beats his easily.....slips and slides and is too quick
Juan Manuel Marquez beats him easily....too smart and will confuse Valero
Manny Pacquiao beats him easily.....Too fast and won't give Valero a chance to come forward with reckless abandon as is Valero's style. Valero is effective against average fighters who stand in front of him. Against Vincente Mosquena, he got knocked down in the 3rd and looked dazed.

Pacquiao is too fast for him, hits as hard or harder and is the much more polished fighter. Valero loops his punches and leaves himself wide open and lets his fall too much.

Bottom line.......Valero is waiting to be exposed. Pacquiao will expose him.
