Comments Thread For: Bradley-Valero Talks Halt? Arum on Margarito-Angulo

[Iceta Lives]

Are they saying this is a smoke screen now. Arum needs to shut his ****ing mouth unless he's really serious about making a Valero-Bradley fight. Don't try to make it and then run the other direction. Maybe Valero is the one who turned it down. You've gotta remember he's fixated on landing a Pacquiao fight. I am a fan of Valero right now. But I think this is the case regardless. He's trying to cash in on big names without fighting other contenders because he knows he doesn't have much time left at only 28 years old. I can't say I blame him. But it does disappoint me a little bit. If he turned down Prescott, you know he'd turn down Bradley. This may not be Arum's doing.

arum knows valero's not ready yet, he doesnt want to risk his cash cow. valero should take 1 or 2 fights at 140 against decent opponets then bradley IMO

[any craic lad?]

soto vs valero.i cant believe arum aint pushing for this more it would be an in house fight,valero is on about fighting in mexico and they are both exciting brawlers.right now bradley beats valero.margarito vs angulo would be unbelievable but we must find out if margarito is shot or not first

How the hell is Valero a cash cow? He's only known by the hardcore fans. If anything, it's guys like Bradley, JMM, and Khan who have something to lose by fighting him. I know Bradley isn't really a huge name. But he's a pretty decent draw in his home town and he's considered the best 140 lber. Could you imagine how Valero's career would sky rocket if he beat him?

first when did I said, he beats tim?


Second Valero is taller, faster, more powerfull and stronger. In 2 more fights Ill bet on Valero, right no I think bradley edges him!!

My bad. When you said say wut I just assumed you were talking about him beating Tim but you were talking about the guys at 135. When I say he isn't ready for the top guy at 135 I mean Juan. JMM beats him. It would be JMM/Diaz all over again.Valero has a lot of learning to do before he gets in with the real dogs.

but 28 is not that old when u havnt took any punishment. he has time to build his resume with a couple solid fighter first

Arum is a liar, he mentions a top dogs name to draw attention, ducks them, then seeks a brawler. Same thing he did with Pacquiao.

Having said that, Valero is not ready for Bradley yet and I would like to see that guy get some money before being brushed under the carpet. Build him up a bit more first. Valero is a warrior and deserves money!

Humberto Soto is the perfect opponent IMO... That is the best logical choice...

Come to think of it that would be a perfect fight for valero, And soto is with Arum as well. Thats a perfect fight to showcase Valero in america.

i dont mean cash cow like pac. valero has a following because of his record and KO's. i think arum see potential to make alot of money and he doesnt want to risk him losing yet

[Sweet Jesus]

Damn, Bob Arum is really good at making his fighters seem like cowards.
