Comments Thread For: Edwin Valero Will Ask The WBC For an Optional at 140

[Clint650]

Bob Said he wanted Valero to fight Bradley but Edwin said he wants to fight Diaz, wow Bradley is like the boogie man to these cowards, but at the same time i can't blame Valero or anyone else because i've been telling people about Bradley for a while now.Just like Teddy Atlas said Bradley is atleast top 3 pound for pound in the world, Mark my words ain't nobody messin with Bradley and that includes Mayweather Mosley and Pacquiao.Bradley may be the only fighter that can beat PBF

its true. nobody wants Bradley. Bradley took away Paul Williams crown of being the most avoided. only difference is Bradley actually dominates who he fights. haha.

Valero vs Bardley would be a great fight...

You don't jump weight to 140 and fight the best unless you are a freak like manny pacman...you go for a tune up then go for bradley...baby bull ain't no push over and bradley is hard but valero must go through this to put himself in the position to be even granted an audience with the King of Pain...

Bradley will get his soon enough my friend, as soon as he tangle with the likes of valero, maidana, he will get hurt badly and will have to ask himself serious questions about whether boxing is any longer a career he wanna pursue...life is too easy for most afro americans, that's why they're getting knocked out left and right, the hard life is to be found in developing countries and former eastern bloc communists states...

valero shouldnt even waste is time witha diaz fight diaz lost too malinaggi a total bum now a bradley fight is a major scrap and one to rival any top fight were likely to see this year edwin seems the buisnes and lookin forward to seeing him climb the p4p list to be honest only see pac and mayweather as fighters above his level in the world right now the guys a monster

[Eric Holder]

this won't be competitive, at this stage Funeka or Katsidis would be bigger challenges for Valero

Fighting Bradley would be tougher for Valero, but maybe he wants Diaz because he can get a license in Texas, and Diaz would have no problems about fighting in his Home State. Now I love Juan Diaz but would rather see Valero fight someone who won their last fight at 140, like a Timmy Bradley. I wonder is Bradley would even fight in Texas with all the Bullchit Decisions and rumors of Corrupt Judges. Either way, I believe Valero Knockouts both Diaz and Bradley and the judges scorecards would not even Matter. Bradley is very good but Kendall Holt seemed to hurt Bradley with every punch he landed, also scoring a couple of Knockdowns along the way to a decision loss. The Mistake Holt made was not being able to match Bradleys output and Kendall basically got outworked for 12 rounds. Valero will not make the same mistake Holt made and he will turn Bradley into a defensive fighter looking to counter only rather than trade shots with the CaveMan. Bradley will win a few rounds and make it interesting, but Timmy will get Floored numerous times by Valero en route to a TKO loss. Maybe Bradleys chin has improved tenfold since the Holt fight and he can take all those shots DeMarco did without problems, but then again maybe not. HOpe the Fight gets made and would be a Great Showcase for SHowtime in trying to Top HBO as the Kings of Boxing.

are you trying to say that bradley has a weak chin?
he got put down by some hellacious shots by a fighter who has concussive power when he lands flush.
even if bradley's been put down, his recuperative ability and composure should be commended.
bradley has proven to be the more versatile fighter. he can go on the offensive OR fight off the backfoot and box circles around his opponent.
if the fight were to happen this summer, i'd favor bradley, but i hope they build up both fighters so it can be a bigger, more recognized event.

Agreed about Bradleys ability and composure when he is under fire, but was trying to say that Valeros workrate will overshadow Bradleys if they were to meet. Timmy has won a majority of his fights due to his Work rate and making his opponents keep up with him, but the caveman will be able to match his output easily. And since Timmy has virtually no power but beats people in the same fashion as Juan Diaz, its hard to say Timmy will be able to Keep the Faster Stronger Valero at bay long enough to eek out a decision. Now just because i feel Bradley will get KOed by Caveman Valero does not mean i hate Timmy or that i have Valeros Nuts plastered on my Wall, thats just the way i see it. I can see Bradley winning a close decision but thats the only way he will win. Whereas i can see Valero getting a TKO or a KO as well as a decision in this one. Would be a great fight for Showtime and i do hope it happens.

Come on Bob. I was getting my hopes up when you mentioned Bradley as an opponent for Valero. Why Diaz FFS? That fight is such a garbage match up it's not even funny. It's like Arum wants to kill Valero's momentum by throwing him in an anti-climatic fight with a powerless washed up fighter like that who doesn't have his heart in it anymore. Valero-Bradley would be a sick fight and exciting even if Valero lost. Why don't Arum stick to his word?

AS much as i can't stand arum. it's NOT arum. this can't be blaimed on arum this time. arum seems to want the bradley valero bout. valero himself doesn't though. he wants to fight diaz.

i feel sorry for bradley. just can't get himself a good fight so that he can go on as one of the best in the sport of boxing.

dude. u live in a delusion. and i guess that's because u just saw valero score a ko in his last fight. u have left planet EARTH. it's a REASON why valero isn't saying he wants to fight bradley even though arum is trying to make the fight. valero himself has been knocked down before (did you forget?) valero has been hurt and wobbled MULTIPLE times. (by total BUMS) Vicente Mosquera put valero flat on his butt and he has NO POWER. the reason was because mosquera was countering valero. (while actually letting his hands go) go watch that fight again.

kendall holt is NO bum and is a discipline "hands up" tall counter puncher. (valero is a sloppy hands down predictable fighter with a lot of power) and he doesn't have a reach advantage on Bradley.

bradley doesn't outwork u for his wins. he out THINKS YOU. he adjust and does certain things that plays on your weaknesses all the way to a UD

valeros weaknesses is a busy durable 12 round speedy counter puncher.

bradleys style ALONE is a weakness for valero. he doesn't even have to make much adjustments.

Bradley will slip so many of valaros wild swinging punches it will be laughable.

I SEE A COMFORTABLE UD FOR BRADLEY. if valero actually accepts the fight for **** sacks. I'm tired of bradley not getting these big fights!!!
