Where the hell is Walters by the way? Reminds me of Clottey after the Pacquiao fight, the guy just disappeared
He was supposed to return to the ring a year or so ago, but then I think his stepsister died so his ring comeback was delayed.
From then on, it seems like the ring return never materialized. He might be done for good.
Maybe his family losing his stepsister caused him to rethink a comeback. You know, family probably not wanting him to put himself in harms way anymore, or something.
Have you ever seen Pacquiao and Valero fight?
There are only a handful of fighters in recent times that could have handled Valero. Pacquiao is one of them.
Morales and Barrera are two others that come to mind, it's a short list.
Valero beat the crap out of Morales during a sparring match its on youtube
He has a lot more to prove before we can say that about him vs Pacquaio but Valero is highly possible. People for some reason don't realize that the best fighter that he beat was Tony Demarco, who Broner beat in arguebally better fashion. I'm not sure where the all time great status came from.
Nope, he wouldn't. Pacquiao would murk him.
People tend to forget how big a puncher Pacquiao really was at the lower weights. Damn, just look how he hurt iron jawed guys like Barrera and Morales when even a heavier-big-punching welterweight in Maidana couldn't really hurt a shop-worn Morales.
Barrera would also out-box Walters silly.
Marquez would probably stop him and so would Morales. Hamed would probably knock him out too.
Walters is pretty good, yes. But Donaire never was that great, really. He basically relied on reaction shots and catch and shoot with his left hook, it worked because of his great speed and caught people of guard. But when guys started to figure it out (Narvaez was probably the first one) he became mostly unnefective. Donaire is not really a good boxer puncher (he always has trouble with boxers and jabbers) and he can't pressure or fight on the inside to save his life.
Walters deserves the kudos. But let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Let's not talk about what could've been, but what can still happen.
I like Walters as a fighter, but he has a long way to go. If he exceeds all expectations and gets past Jhonny Gonzalez and Lomachenko, then we can assume he will move up to 130 for bigger money fights.
At that point, Javier Fortuna, Orlando Salido, and Mikey Garcia are the types of lightweights Walters would have to beat before we can put him on the level of Pacquiao.
Very few fighters can jump up to higher weight classes and continue to dominate as Pacquiao and Mayweather have done.
:lol1: @ grouping Valero in with Pacquiao.
Even worse are those dismissing the notion that Walters, who just picked up a win worth more than Valero's entire worthless career, would beat such an unproven commodity in a hypothetical matchup.
PAC at this weight was pretty one dimensional but a wrecking ball of activity with the fastest straight left that I've ever seen. So fast that even a wizard like Marquez was continuously caught by it.
Valero was under-rated with better boxing skills than he got credit for. He had that power like Hamed and he wasn't afraid to go to war. Probably a reason why PAC wouldn't fight him. Although different weight classes PAC was packing on weight and was basically the same size as Valero.
Walters pretty big for this weight class but don't hype him too fast.
i'm gonna stop you right there brah, walters is good and his power is legit, but he's flatfooted and just too big and too strong for donaire. valero will demolish him, pac will decapitate him
This dude is the real deal..i hope he moves to lightweight and fight crawford :love:
He beats Donaire and now he beats Pac and Valero get the hell out of here
