It's his career and his choices. I have nothing against him. But I don't see any reason to get all excited about him either. He has so far only fought mediocre opposition and has hasn't looked very impressive beating them. I don't think he has ever fought anybody boxrec ranks above 25th in the world. When and if he beats a guy ranked in the top 15 I will pay more attention to him.

I think the disappointment and criticism stems from the fact that his opponents are selected to make him look good but he still struggles against them. He's not fighting contenders, he's fighting journeymen and guys who are supposed to have no real chance of winning. He's still young but the truth is if he's ever going to be good/great then he should be showing signs of it now.

He doesn't need to KO everyone, but the special talents perform in a certain manner as the move up the levels of competition. The class shows through, and keeps showing through until he reaches a level where his talent just about pars out, and the performances aren't as impressive.
Maybe Verdejo has reached his level

Originally posted by bigdramashow View PostDamn you guys love to go in on a fighter dont you. Hes come back from a motorcycle accident, he won the fight clearly and your still ****ting on him. You would have thought he'd been ko'd judging by reaction on here. Kids 23 years old and im seeing people saying 'he was never much good' etc. Hes still not even going to be at his peak at his age. Why are people building these fighters up to then knock them down?
Lets see how he does against one of the top dogs before we all throw him on the trash heap, ive got a feeling hes gonna do a lot better than you all expect....
Can't wait til Valdez puts his ass in a coffin.

Can't wait til Valdez puts his ass in a coffin.
