I miss Edwin Valero

**** that guy

[Ragnar Lothbrok]

Words can't explain how devastated I am by the spectacle of his untimely death.

Edwin Valero was a once in a lifetime guy. You could tell by his fighting style, by his approach, his interpretation of the sport, his hair.

God that hair....

Edwin was the archetypal warrior. He was the spirit of the past, present and future. He was la verdad.

Edwin was one of a kind.

I'm not gonna pretend I know anything about him other than what he projected on to me through his boxing career.

I never met him, yet I feel like I know him.

Its obvious he had serious issues with substances and maybe even psychological issues. But I honestly don't care. I feel like I know him and I can sympathize with him.

He could not be accountable for affairs of the heart. I am 100% sure he loved that poor woman with all his heart and she with hers.

I'm in no position to judge them for their passionate and possibly destructive relationship.

Edwin Valero was a man of complexity. He doesn't deserve to be dragged through the mud post mortem by idiots who know nothing about him or his situation and a world they could never understand.

Maybe if some of you are 27-0 w/ 27 k.o's and have an ardent national following. Then maybe you could judge.

Maybe if you have the boxing world in your palm ripe for the picking. Then maybe you could judge.

Or if you are blessed with god given ability and punching power and have a dark side that won't let you sleep, then maybe you could judge.

Just maybe, but it would still be in poor form to do so.

There is a lot of this story that we don't know. Edwin Valero himself seems to think there was foul play involved and that underworld thugs were after him.

Its best to pay respects to the man we all knew as a boxer and celebrate him for that and that alone. Trying to insult the man or impugn him post mortem when we don't have the full story is wrong.

Edwin Valero was only a man.

I just view it as it is.

Infinite and full of wonder.

I hope god rests both of their souls in peace.

his last fight you picked against him.


now you love him more than marquez quenchable piss.


you bandwagon b*tch.





i should have won a million off of you.

[Canadian Kid]

I miss edwin too. Always looking forward to his fights. Man i was so excited that he almost got a fight with bradley or campbell i forgit which one

[Dick Buffman]

**** that guy

If thats really you in that candyass avatar, and I ever met you in person, I would lay you out with impunity you backwater hick *****.

[roxy]

I just don't understand Valero worship. The guy won two titles but was still untested against a real contender. Then he beats his wife and eventailly murders her. Then he kills himself rather than face up. And he gets the hero treatment! I would not want to be the family member that has to explain to an orphaned child that she will never see her mother again and who would have done such a terrible thing.

He's waiting

[Rick Grimes]

Valero was a murderer that cowardly took his own life. If this was a regular guy everyone would be saying "fu(k him" but because he was a boxer we have ******s trying to defend him.

[Kagami Taiga]

i dnt feel soory for him, he did it to himself. i refuse to miss a guy who ruined his own life.

[sicko]

would have been nice to have him in the 140 lbs division

[RA-Box]

I sometimes wonder if us boxing fans are to blame for the tragedies boxers face.

But then I remember boxing has always been around. Bigger than anybody really and Either you're indifferent to it, or it grips you and never lets go.

He's already dead, you can't judge anymore.
RIP Edwin Valero
