Why wasn't Valero P4P #5 after he beat DeMarco?

[MJ223]

Neither should have made it from that win...... That said Giampa wasn't in charge of the ratings at the time

Valero didn't beat DeMarco as good as Broner did. That makes all the difference in the world.

to be fair, both guys dished out almost entirely one-sided beatdowns.

it's also worth mentioning that DeMarco never got as brave with Valero as he did with Broner. his decision to go toe to toe with Broner in the 4th, after having just had his best round in the fight from long range, was inexplicable to me. from then on, Broner never had to find DeMarco, whereas Valero pretty much had to hunt him down all night.


but regardless of whose win was slightly better, dominating DeMarco still wasn't enough to justify a vault into the thick of the pound for pound rankings for either.

Cause this guy wasn't doing the rankings:

[Rip Chudd]

Because he wasn't "Swagged out"

"F A G Ged out" is more like it

[Mato o Muero]

Because he wasn't with Al Haymon.

Good points!

The pound for pound list was quite different in Feb2010 than it is now.
