I hear all kinds of gym stories about Valero . How the guy would drop heavy bags with his punching power ,how Dela Hoya sent him home after getting beaten up in sparring for the Pacquiao fight , or how one of the only sparring partners to be able to hang with him in the ring was Vic Darchinyan of all people . Seems like most respected trainers I talk to are in agreement that he was a Bad dude who probably woulda beat ( or given a heck of a fight to PAC .

valero was a genuine talent. if you watch him spar its clear to see that the guy had snap on his punches that you don't teach. he was a bit roug around the edges, but i have no doubt that he would have been a talented fighter with a shot at being a top operator.
