People underestimate Valero's boxing ability and think he was just a brawler. Valero boxed DeMarco's ass off and made him quit on his stool without having to brawl. Valero was a very good counter puncher.

He took himself out of the game before we got to see what he was really made of.

A two weight world champion, 27-0 with a 100% K.O ratio wins over Mosquera, Antonio Pituala & DeMarco - I don't think anybody can deny this guy was a real special talent. He didn't just beat those guys, he slaughtered them.
He wasn't just a heavy handed brawler, the guy could box, he could counterpunch.
He was technically a sound fighter. Its crazy to think just how good this man could of been.
The guy had a lot of demons & was clearly sick but we should appreciate what he did in boxing for the short period he was here. The guy was a savage.

Did he ever fight anyone on his career who was even world level??no
Id go with Cotto the proven commodity.
