How Good was Edwin Valero?**Prelude to Demarco vs Broner **

[AntonTheMeh]

Valero was a puncher and nothing more

no.........

[Walt Liquor]

He was a "Does nothing Great but does everything good" type of fighter. I mean he had crazy power but he just didnt go nuts he tried to set it up and wasnt scared to mix it up.

u talkin about demarco right?

No I think he's talking about Edwin Valero.

[Light_Speed]

He was pretty good but he was definitely not this unstoppable beast that many people think he was.

[Walt Liquor]

total different styles between valero and broner.

i have to laugh at the people who say things like "valero's just a puncher" or he's one dimensional. valero is mad unorthodox and without a doubt not one dimensional.

if you never saw the guy fight, stfu and listen to people who have...

broner-valero would be ppv status fight for me, i like both guys but at this point I"d go valero. I''d like to see broner in with someone with any kind of skills before I could pick him over valero, especially cuz valero lefty. PDL is a lefty and he was able to touch broner's body up, valero's about 50x more skilled, had the same fearlessness, a more diverse offense and a way better d than pdl.

the escobedo fight is a joke, doesnt count IMO.

last I checked litzau, pdl, eloy et al never really were know to be much on the skill side. eloy is as orthodox and plain as they come.

No I think he's talking about Edwin Valero.

its a perfect description of demarco, and a terrible one of valero. valero had great footwork, great power, and borderline great speed...oh and great heart/mental strength.

there's 4 attributes better than good

Valero would have put Broner in a coffin, that's for sure.

Edwin Valero is Kostya Tszyu... if you made him a southpaw, made him hit harder, and made him want to drink your blood.

So your learning more towards Demarco because of the experience? I personally think Demarco has a bigger chance than allot of people are giving him. He's fought guys who are excellent as certain aspects of boxing But Valero having spades, thus Demarco getting beat. I agree with you when it comes to Edwin to a T. Dude was scary scary good. I mean consider this fight Demarco sliced his head open and Valero still beat his ass. and made him quit... that was unreal most fighters if not all of them would have quit. He took it in stride... that's insane focus.

well, in the ring and in sparring, he pretty much was. granted, he never really that well know and most havent see most of his fights because they were primarily in japan, but he never had an opponent hear the final bell
