I was actually enjoying the brief change in threads when this site became Valero scene.com, it was a nice break from all of the Floyd/Pac hooplah.

If figured this overrating was a product of a recent win but this new religion of Valeroism has seemed to have taken hold and as a result produced mass overrating.

Lets look at what he as done, he has 1 good win at 130, 2 decent/good wins at 135 and beaten 24 softies.....that is all in addition to DeMarco really exposing his raw power as more a product of opposition.

Since then and based on his huge accomplishments thus far, I have read conversations where to large an amount of posters favor him over guys like JMM, Bradley, Alexander, and I have yes read Pac too.

Realistically he has not even proven to be world class at 135 and now he is beating proven world class guys at 140 and beyond? at this point I would call him vs Juan Diaz a pick'em fight and Paulie would absolutely tool him.

I actually do like Valero but c'mon, his record consisting of mostly soft opposition in Venezuela doesn't make him that great.
Lets give him some time before he start calling him "the next Pacquiao", which I have heard him referred to on here.

True, yes he hasnt fought the best of guys but 27 fights with 27 Kos, is impressive. We will see in the coming months of he is the real deal.

People only see a knockout and never consider the level of competition. With Valero after two world titles and all those knockouts, we still can't tell how good he is.

Iv'e never heard any of this talk you speak of.. He's exciting to watch, and people want him to do good.

Talking of a fighter is not overratedness.

Talking of a fighter like Valero and saying he can beat Floyd would be.

He's hot hype in a fun way

valero is a good boxer and we will see in next coming months whether he is the true real deal

He gets talked about a lot on here, and in my mind he is still unproven, his best wins are over other prospects, there are reasons for that though, but I want to see him in there with an elite, for all we know he will get exposed, or maybe, just maybe he will live up to expectations.

I just want to see him beat some proven world class or even guys who could consistently remain at the tier below world class before I consider him one of the best in boxing.

If he beats Peterson I will be impressed, Lamont is a solid 140lb fighter ith good skills and a guy I right now favor to beat Valero.
