valero is overrated.

I think we can all agree that his inability to fight in the united states against bigger names set him back. the guy's already 28 and is just branching out.

Except Tyson demonstrated devestating power to the masses and didn't hide behind some phony knockout record.He completely cleared his division of all contenders by the time he was twenty three and established himself as a heavyweight great through this short but dominant reign. There is absolutely no comparison to be made. Disagree in terms of P4P power but agree on accomplishments. Valero could be a candidate for P4P greatest puncher today. IMO, His lack of notable opposition though is more attributed to licenses issue more than anything.

Let's be fair though, most of that fight the other guy seemed terrified. It's the whole tyson thing all over again, what happens when he fights a bigger guy, with good chin, good defence and counter punching, who isn't afraid of him? we don't know but it could be bad news. True that. We don't know for sure. I'm very keen of a valero-jmm or valero-katsidis. IMO, jmm or kat have the confidence at least of sharing the ring with him. But Kat's chin could be the end of him. We'll see but Kat last fight was very reminiscent of the old one with better stamina (unlike that shitty version in the Diaz fight).

hes a tough guy,with power and hes great to watch nobodys acting like hes going to be the GOAT,but people are excited about his future,nothing wrong with that This. 27 wins and 27 ko's is something to get hopeful about in modern boxing and his last performance was a great sign of things to come. I don't believe he'll be an hall of famer but he's exciting, wants to knock the shit out of people and can take a punch. What more can you want as a fan?

Valero is a joke.. How can you be a 2 division champion where the best fighters in your resume is a Pituala and a DeMarco? Ummm. Mainly because he can't fight in Vegas???

That power is real. Very rare cases you could say world champion as overrated... this is not one of them. He is just exciting to watch. If anything, his defense is underrated. Watch his last fight again without bias and tell me if he has no D.

27 fights 27 KO's... thats not overrated

I give props to valero, there is no other with all pro fights all knockouts, and he respects other boxers, being in politics, himself

yeah, but pac was beating world beaters. He had tremendos movement as well. He had viper like speed and power. He was still more well rounded than valero. It was widely known no one was ****in with him at 130 and 135.

i swear they used to say this about PAC not too long ago Valero has no Roach.

You must have missed his last fight.. His defense was just as good if not better then Pacmans in his last fight.. Not like that's something special, but it's something. No one on here is overrating him. How is he overrated. Like the guy above said. He is an exciting fighter. It creates hype. I don't even think Pac was trying to defend himself at all, but fair enough.

dont think hes overrated

hes a tough guy,with power and hes great to watch nobodys acting like hes going to be the GOAT,but people are excited about his future,nothing wrong with that I agree, he has improved a good deal too.
