Valero would have wrecked pacman. Thing that always annoyed the ***** outa me when discussing Valero was this notion of him being a crude slugger. People who dksab always claimed ***** like that because foos are unable to pick up the subtle boxing ***** that he did in the ring.

Valero wasnt just a brawler thats for dam sure. He had boxing ability and counterpunching skills, alot more technical than Someone like pac.

Valero would have turned lomachenko into his biatcch , much worse than what salido did ..

Valero is that dude

[aretrospective]

Would like to see this film, and would have loved to have seen how his career progressed.

With hindsight, it looks likely from his chosen career, bad motorbike accident and erratic behaviour, that he suffered from at least the early stages of CTE. I wonder if his brain was examined for it after death, does anybody know?

Of course he could just have been a bit of a nutter...

Valero short lived

Valero had this mystique of a guy who had the "la vida loca" running him. The coolest stories (while he was alive) were people's reactions to his moonlighting their gym unannounced. One by one people figured out that the coked up guy on a manical tear was Valero. He loved to spar tons of rounds.. old school. He was a fantastic boxer, not the brawler people seem to think he is.. He was just a finisher. I liken him to Sugar Shane..
Yes, he never had a chance to build up a proper resume, but it was the way he dispatched his opponents... He and Pac would have had a fantastic fight. 2 lefties
