    He dehydrated in 150 pounds, or more.
    Yes, Broner is arguably the biggest 130 fighter ever, his performance against DeMarco was sublime tho, he fought a great fight on the inside and broke the spirit of DeMarco.

      Yep but he weighted like 10 more pounds than DeMarco.

      He fought with advantage in weight in those división. Like Junior did in 160

              Doesnt know how good Edwin Valero was (26 - 0 26 KOs), but is sure that Bruce Lee (0- 0 - 0 KOs) beats Mayweather

                Valero vs that version of Pac would be an instant classic, shame it never happened.

                    He had potential but because of the tragic end, he was untested/unproven.

                      I think Valero was above average. He fought mostly bums, cab drivers, and melon sellers though. His only notable win in 30 fights was Vincente Mosquera. People might say what about DeMarco? DeMarco was 23 when he fought Valero, and hadn't done anything in his career yet. There were guys for Valero to fight, he for whatever reason, just didn't fight them.
