How good is Edwin Valero?

There are times where I think he is the real deal but then again there are times when I say.. well look at the level of opposition he's been in against. Can't really blame the guy since he hasn't been cleared to fight in the United States it makes it really hard. If I was him I would go to Germany or Britain and make a name for myself there. Anyway, just how good is he? I been wanting to see him fight a top ten guy but no luck.. will he ever get a break? Will we ever see if he is just hype or really as good as many think he is? "He is so good, he makes prime Tyson look like punch out's Glass Joe" Im ELHURACAN58 and I approve this message.:notworthy

All I really seen is vids of his 1st rd KO's. Even if he's really good it's hard to tell cuz he just blasts guys out quickly. He must be a helluva puncher, even tho I've never heard of any of the guys he's iced, but I dunno how good he is overall as a fighter. Like almost every pure puncher he probably has serious limitations, but from everything I've heard and seen, his power is 100% real. He is a legitimate threat to KO anyone near his size.

he was good enough to be belt holder, but imo against any elite in his weight class he will get embarrassed badly.

I'd like to see that punching power to the test against a top contender though. Is it really that he has that much power or the opposition he facing? i guess with the opposition he's faced. watch the Mosquera fight. Mosquera ate clean shots all night.. downed twice in the 1st, gets up each time, and fires back to return a KD on Valero on the 3rd... it took Valero 7 more rounds of non-stop powerpunching before finally stopping the sturdy former WBA 130-lb. champ.. an entertaining pub brawl, a no defense macho slugfest lol :D.. Valero was previously on a 19W/19KO, 18 by 1st round KO, streak vs. tomato cans

Put it this way, without his power he wouldn't be where he is now.

Sure he's been fighting nobodies. But 24 wins and 24 by Ko is still impressive. Which is precisely the reason I wanna see him with quality opponents, how he'll stack up. If that freakish power hits any quality opponent, I think it could make the fight competitive and unpredictable.

I'm afraid we might never know, unless he can find a way to fight in the big stages. Talk about HIGH risk, low REWARD

with a good promoter and the right match-ups he could turn into the real deal. he needs to learn to stop looking for the KO, with his power and ability it will come. he has alot of potential, would be interesting to see how sturdy his chin is. if its half as good as his chin he could turn out to be pretty damn good.

NEVER count out an Undefeated Puncher of Valero's caliber! But from what ive seen i agree with the general feel here way too crude and wide open. APPARENTLY he a damn good boxer tho, just fell in love with his power too much now, thats what i heard I've heard the same, he supposedly has skills but abandons them in the ring. Doug Fischer said the only fighters who he has seen training as good as Valero are a Prime Mosley at LW and a Prime Mayweather at 130

the only time ive seen with SOME skills is on youtube sparring...its a totally diff fighter in a live match... he seems to abandon the skill and just head hunt..i sont think his stamina and conditioning is not good enough to hang with the elite..i even think a shot EM will outbox his ass...but dont get me wrong...to quote a saying that pavlik says" the guy hits like mule" thats my take on edwin valero...i just wanna see him fight someone like linares, soto, or even joan guzman...and as far as him callin out pac all these years...pac may kill him and thas why i dont want to fight him..yadidimean?

..this man is dangerous..

Freakish stopping power. That's the only good point that I see in Valero. Boxing skills? Below average. Defense? Poor. Quality of opposition? Poor. Chin? still untested. that's the plain truth of the matter. I'd like to see that punching power to the test against a top contender though. Is it really that he has that much power or the opposition he facing?

he talk a lot of sh!t and ko's over no hopers aint really impressive

I haven't really been impressed by him, he has power but that's about it, he's wide open to counter shots and technically, he's not very good.

if he's still the same as ive seen in any of his vids, then he'll lose to any of the top lightweights, hell even to a past prime mab/em. i've read he has a new trainer(?) and that he put more defense to his game w/c is good, but we'll have to see.
