Valero is great at what he does, but if Demarco could catch him so often, when he barely threw anything, Bradley can pick him apart. It would be a HUGE step up in class for Valero. For Bradley it wouldn't be.
I pick Bradley by decision but I wouldn't be surprised to see the bigger, accurate puncher Bradley KO Valero.
Speed- Bradley (WIDE MARGIN)
Strength- Bradley
Power- Even (@ 140)
Defense- Bradley
Smarts- Bradley
and Bradley has an intangible edge in hunger. I mean listen to this dudes interviews, he's ready to fight anybody.
I would give power to valero, Bradley is not a big puncher at all.
(btw whats the difference between power and strength?) :Thinkingo

i wish people would get off valeros dick....bradley would of done a better job against demarco bradley>>>>>>>>>>>>>>valero
lightyears ahead of Valero in talent, skill, and resume...but you would never know by looking at some of these threads
i agree bradley will win
but if he didnt "no mas" from that gash
he aint no masing for shit
noooo way valero quits
everr
'no mas'in from pain and 'no mas'in from embarrasment are 2 different things, ask Duran :boxing:
let me change that, Bradley will make him 'no mas' by the 11th round. Faster, stronger, better.

Sup homie.
My thing is it that it goes both ways. I think people have bought into the Bradley hype. He is a very good fighter no doubt. But I can easily say hes never been in the ring with a guy this vicious, relentess, power, handspeed all rolled into one. Not to mention underrated boxing skills.
I think valero is the one being underrated here.
Dude, if anyone is buying into the hype, its you. Can you honestly say Valero has been in with a guy who is as technically sound, as quick, and as experienced as Bradley?
Don't get me wrong, I like Valero, and I'll probably rooting for him, but he's still the big underdog in the fight. Some people can move up in weight with ease like Pacquiao, no problem, some end up like Juan Diaz.
I haven't seen enough of Valero to make an accurate choice,but I do believe Valero definately has a chance!!Bradley has been dropped cold from 1 punch twice,I believe by Holt!!So he can be hurt!!If Valero lands a couple of those shots on Bradley,I'm not so sure he's gonna be able to continue!!
On the other hand Bradley applies more pressure than most 135 pounders,plus he's the real jr.welterweight between the 2!!Bradley has overwhelmed bigger fighters than Valero,if he gets going early,Valero might not see daylight again,tough to call,so I went with a draw!!
the only people who are picking bradley are the ones that dont buy into the hype and oppose valero they are just born haters and dont want to believe. its ok after bradley gets destroyed they will say well bradley wasnt ready but khan and marquez will beat valero or he has to enter the super 6 tourny at light heavyweight. even tho i pick valero to stop glen johnson and dawson
:rofl: What?! Nah, man! :rofl:
Count me out as a Valero hater, I just don't think he can beat someone as tough, slick, quick, technical, and hungry as Timothy Bradley.
Bradley's one of the few guys in the sport whose willingness to fight anyone shines.
You can tell he doesn't fear anyone and that he'd willingly take on all comers. He's also marvelously conditioned, too.
Good win for Valero against DeMarco, but I don't understand all the insane hype he's getting.
Reed I dont put Bradley on this high pedestal like that though. It aint far fetched for him to be KO'd. I been watching Valero for 2 years now its not based off just this fight. People are saying well he got up from Holt. Same thing thats one fight. What happnes when Valero starts landing??
Hell Pac moved up 3 times in a row and stopped everybody. Shit anything is possible. But Bradley is not Floyd this dude is not hard to hit at all.
My statement still stands... "anything can happen" Has nothing to do with overhyping Valero.
IMO, Bradley has too many advantages at this stage:
Valero moving up in weight
Bradley with the better resume
Valero needs to improve his skills set
Bradley has amazing recovery powers (jumping off the canvas)
And more importantly, Bradley is the Man at 140 right now. He's gonna be moving around the ring better than DeMarco.
Sup homie.

OVERRATED, really.
Doesn't mean he isn't good.. doesn't mean I am not a fan.
But move up to JR. WW, and KO Timothy Bradley?
That is called overhyping, and all based off fighting one top 10 guy at Lightweight.
