        Yeah, I respect Soto, good fighter but he simply can't deal with boxers. I think he might have to change his style, I mean he has the speed, well coordinated fighter but something is missing, I'm scratching to see what it is. In his last fight, he couldn't deal with the guys movement and seemed very discouraged. Against Joan Guzman, he stopped trying to win. He broke down mentally and Guzman proceeded to break him down even more, by clowning him. Sad to watch really.

        I agree, Oscar Larios was shot but I can tell Linares will become something big. I'd like to see Soto vs Linares or Valero.

          Superb Punching Power, a one punch KO artist. Since Valero's fights last an average of 4rounds, his true test will come when a hard-chinned fighter takes Valero into the later rounds. Mike Tyson was a KO artist...that is until "Quick Tillis" (James Tillis) took tyson into the later rounds. His stamina will be tested, and being used to having short nights (one rounders) can make a world of difference.

            This guys good. 24-0 all ko's thats impressive. Alot of em coming from the first round. Idk he looks like he could be a great future champ, but look at nas. He did very well till he came up to barrera. Proving he wasnt good enough to play with the big boys. Do you guy's think Edwin is? I think he needs to train alot more. He could deffinetly be better, but right now hes doing good.
            I think he is too old, and hasn`t gone up against any elite fighters. He only has to cash in once on that `0`, then he retires defeated.

              I don't think Soto gave up against Guzman. But I agree, that he probably has trouble with mobile boxers. I don't think anyone can look good against Guzman. No offense, but I'm not a fan of Guzman's stlye. There was a time in his fight with Soto that he literally turned his back to him and ran.

                he needs to vastly improve on his fundamentals or you'll see him KTFO as soon as he steps up

                  soto, linares, and valero should do a round robin.

                    Fan of Joan Guzman here, it isn't because he is Dominican though. I love the slick defensive accurate counter puncher type, one with really good movement. Reason why I'm a Mayweather, B-Hop and Pernell Whitaker fan.

                      To each their own. I like to watch slick fighters ply their trade as long as they have intentions of doing some damage with their punches. Mayweather and Hopkins fall in that category, even though both guys have coasted to decision victories before. Guzman and Whitaker are the totally opposite of those two guys in my view. They showboat a lot and try to look pretty, and I'm not into that.
