      No. People are making two fundamental mistakes here.

      One they're assuming he was a spring chicken who had plenty of room to grow. He was 28 and very flawed, as seen in Ricky Hatton you can't teach an old dog new tricks. He would get exposed at a higher level.

      Two they're assuming he has an impressive record. I ask anyone to name 5 impressive heads on his resume.

      If this happened to someone like Andre Ward, Alexandre of Bradley. There would be some sense of wonder in my head as they have both youth and ability.

          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.
          The only thing you're doing is speculating. What's not speculation is that Peterson stepped up and fought one of the best at 140. Valero never did.
