can edwin valero be compared to an early shane mosley?

not in the skill level per say but his gameness and the fact that he is willing to stay in the pocket shane mosley has a record of 46 5 39 ko's that like 75%ko percentage sorry but mosley is better than valero in every category... valero hasn't even fought a gatekeeper at 130 or 135!!! honestly, that's just plain disrespectful to mosley

I didn't watch too many fights with Shane at 135, but he didn't have that jab Taylor has, or did he? decent..

shane's skills are overrated.shane was almost like a lightweight version of jermain taylor, with a BIT better footwork.valero is just a gunner.dude is made for tv. I didn't watch too many fights with Shane at 135, but he didn't have that jab Taylor has, or did he?

i think shane had much better fundamentals. valero is more like a young pacman. They are simlar in many ways except Valero is more powerful and can knock you out with either hand. Pac has a bit more foot and handspeed but was even more wreckless as a youngster. People seem to forget that Pac was knocked down as well as knocked out a couple of times before becoming the seasoned veteran he is today. Many posters are too harsh on Valero when he wants to fight the best instead of cherrypicking fights.

so does everyone think that valero isnt going to last or will be the man No, they're completely different.. Mosley's a sharp shooter & Valero's a gun slinger (which makes him brilliant to watch) & I'm not yet sure, how long he'll get away with it..If he rapidly learns to tuck his chin in... Yes... If he doesn't... No..

the power is the same and i think valero has more balance than pac did at this stage. thats what roach fixed the most like i noticed it when he fought marquez the second time and then the destruction of david diaz pac was moving good. and its hard to work or show you defense when you knock everyone out

No. Valero is just a guy wit crazy raw power.

yea kinda but back then to me pac was like a one armed bandit. but roach is the man. well atleast wit pac because he has turned him into something else.
