    I think he would have been great, he could ****, he could box, he had speed, he had ko power, his skills were improving and he wouldn't quit.

      lolz at the discussions about him beating Bradley and Pac ffs.

      He was ok but more a product of soft opposition.
      He would have walked right through Peterson!

        I doubt that but too bad we will never find out.

        Still its not like he really beat any elite fighters for anyone to be talking about his potential future ATG status that he would or wouldn't have had.

            Peterson?

            Come on man... Valero was on another level. Bradley is good, but again, Valero was on another level.

            You could just see it in him. 27 k.o's is hard to do without being atg material.

                He would've worked over anyone at 140 currently and anyone at 35 outside of JMM who is a living legend.

                Bradley, Alexander, Khan and the rest of em' all get waxed by the Lizard King Valero.
                LOL, I'm currently making slow progress on a Valero highlight set to The Doors 'Not To Touch The Earth' apropos of your previous Valero-Lizard King comments.

                To be uploaded in due course.

                      I think so. If he wasnt so fed up with fighting Pacman and stayed at 130 a little longer before going to 135. Dude had 2 fights and wanted to move to 140 and fight Bradley! He could've been great at 135 imo. Could have went to war with any of the top dogs there and possibly beat most of them. He rushed his career too quick tho, But him fighting Pacquiao was his motivation to keep winning. He had the potential to be an atg with the right managment
