Valero was powerful and fast he threw punches and bunches like Pacquiao the difference is Pacquiao struggles with boxers with punching power marques morales and Barrera all gave him problems I think Valero would have gave Pacquiao wars n possibly knock him out to at lightweight would have been fireworks at least to me
Edwin Valero vs Pacquiao the fight that never happened who would have won at 135

One's a legend who beat a who's who of champions and Top 5 ranked guys and Top 10 P4P guys and the other beat no fighters ranked in the Top 5 in his career.
I wonder. -
Valero would of been KO'd easier than I think people imagine. They seemed similar but Valero was just raw and lacking a lot in technicality. He was also dropped by Mosquera who wasn't anywhere near as big a puncher as Pacquiao at the lighter weights. Pacquiao's chin was also proven at the lighter weights as he took bomb shots from Barrera, Morales and Marquez and never went down.
I like to imagine this crazy fight where both are throwing insane amount of punches and absorbing them but the reality is, I don't think Valero could take as good as he gave. Pacquiao could.Comment

I remember being in the talks this fight, and was listed in a magazine as well.
Pacquiao at that time he was a monster, but so was Valero, he was a No F***s Given fighter with huge amount of power.Comment

Agree with many of your points here, but hey apparently Manny struggles with boxers they say, especially Barrera as the OP suggested, i remember Manny having a real hard time in that fight in particular, don't you??Valero would of been KO'd easier than I think people imagine.
