Edwin Valero Wants Manny Pacquiao... Is He A Match?

after extending his stunning record, he is eyeing a shot against Pacman. He fights similarly if compared to an earlier manny pacquiao, but taking him on? i seriously think he needs more top draw fights to get in the ring with pacquiao. i'd like to see him against someone like Maidana who has a similar knockout ratio. another good opponent would be Devon Alexander... what do you think?

    He can't bring his power to the jr. welter more so the welter division. And with his non-existent defense, he'll be KOed by the Pac in two rounds.

    No pun intended, Manny has bigger fish to fry. After the 147 lb. division has been sewn up, Manny might not be able to get down to an acceptable weight to make the fight viable, Edwin would have to come up in weight, a dangerous prospect against a fellow power puncher of Manny's caliber. If it happens, I think Valero would have a real tough time surviving the distance against Manny, nobody is going to stand and slug with Pacquiao, and Valero is a slugger. It would be over about as fast as the Hatton fight ended, and Edwin would wake up in the dressing room asking when the fight was going to start. In short, no Edwin Valero is no match for Manny Pacquiao.

    I do have faith that Edwin Valero isn't worth to have a experience against Manny Pacquiao. at the beginning Edwin Valero in basic terms got here up from a win to shield his WBC mild-weight call against Antonio DeMarco, this is not his value ticket to have experience with Manny. He has an prolonged thank you to run. not on the instant Edwin Valero. there are various extra deserving opponent interior the Welterweight branch that would in effective condition a experience with Manny Like WBC Welterweight Champ Andre Berto, WBA Reg Welterweight Champ Vyacheslav Senchenko, or IBF Welterweight Champ Dejan Zavec. Or via any hazard if Shane Mosley would be triumphing against Mayweather this upcoming combat it may well be thrilling to show screen him combat against MANNY. Many Boxing followers we are disillusioned interior the experience of Clottey and Manny by way of we did not see lots action.... And we don't decide on this to ensue back in basic terms because of the fact of an opponent lacking the flair of exhibiting some action

    If it's not obvious that Manny is easily a lot faster and more athletic then Valero and that Valero would get knocked out then I can't help you. Valero has power, but so does Manny and only one has proven he can carry it to welterweight. Is it too much to ask for these guys to fight one excellent opponent before they start calling greats out. Look at Clottey, he did things the right way by fighting everybody and now he's getting his chance to fight Pacquiao. At least guys like Valero could have the decency to clear out 130/135/140 before he wants q shot at the big time. What's wrong with these kids?

    Edwin Valero is one of the best fighters right now, he has a power, speed and defense.. he really impressed me every time he fights, and besides of that he is a Knock Out artist... but the only bad thing for him like what the other boxing fans says is, he hasn't fought the real best fighter out there

    If he really wants to fight Pacquiao then he must fight either JMM or Khan first or someone else as long as those boxers have a big names in the sport of Boxing

    If ever this fight happens, i would say Manny Pacquiao by TKO in late rounds

    Source(s): I'm just a new boxing fan, i started watching boxing since 2006 coz of Pacquiao lol

    I think a shootout bewteen these 2 at 140 would be great - Valero appears to be all action, while Manny is settling down and becoming more surgical in his attack.

    This could not be anything but an exciting fight - but from the little I've seen of Valero, he gets hit too often to last very long with PacMan at this point.

    There should be an ambulance at ringside if ever this bout happens. There's no question regarding who will win, its more of what will happen to Valero after. Its likely what he suffered in the motor accident triples up cause he will be hit by truck. It will be dead on arrival.......NO dead on the spot for Edwin Valero

    Its a MISMATCH indeed and if ever you'd be late for a minute, you'll miss the match

  • 1 decade ago

    Yes! Valero is a strong puncher and has quick hands too. He's a knock-out artist like manny.

  • 1 decade ago

    I would be happy if he would just carry out a campaign to beat his lightweight competition. It would be a mismatch on size and experience at the very least. It's almost as bad as Darchinyan calling out Pacquiao when he did.

  • 1 decade ago

    No, But I like his courage of calling out the toughest fight available for him.

    If this fight ever happens it's gonna bring in 25$M+ each fighter.
