i remember asking broner how he would fare against Valero; he just laughed and kept chewin on his gum. meaning Valero woulda rly hurt him. seeing how maidana did; i know for a Fact Valero would stopped him
As a fighter, I have the deepest respect for Valero. It was truly a wasted life. No excuses for Valero, but I'm sure the brain injury played a role. His drug use, drinking, could all have stemmed from mood swings, confusion, anger, which are all things that could have easily happened from having a damaged brain.
Respect for those who have fuck all to do with valero or his loved ones and ignore the true tragedy not for boxing of course but for good inexcusable facts should never allow cloud the judgement demons are killers and Edwin valero had his fair share and if he had the ability to channel it thru boxing in combination with mandatory rehab by the commissions at the first sign of the right side. He was an interesting case study of sporting demons. R.i.p Mrs valero. Edwin you will have to wait until i die I'm really sorry if you are in sincerity.
Valero was awesome. Fun to watch, interesting persona. His power was real and not from cheating, IMO. It's sad that he murdered his wife. I think that perhaps the bike accident may have helped play a role in his mood swings, especially when combined with drugs and liquor. Had either the substance abuse or the accident never been present, he probably would have made it through the dark times. Then again, he could just be violent, psychopath. Who knows? Bless his kids, I miss his fights.
valero was constantly improving, he woulldve beat may and pac imo 12-18 months down the line, just to strong and also intelligent, he wasnt a simple come forward fighter, had a good brain to go with it.
Krauty, you fail to understand that valero was not just some KO artist, he was an intelligent fighter constantly improving, thus why i predicted 12-18 months, the guy was improving fast and had a lot of good qualities. Stop crying, mayweather was good, but he completely cherry picked his fights at higher weight classes, valero was the real deal, smart, strong, and could hurt you with both hands and was improving rapidly, and loved being in the ring, all qualities that tell us he was going places.
@manbearpigisalive waste of talent?? I'm pretty sure he wasn't boxing to keep you impressed and keep you satisfied I'm pretty sure he did it because he had a passion for it. You make it sound like your a King or something
soto karass is a big welterweight and a hard guy. he did give him a beating in sparring, valero is better known for beating top guys in the gym, he did beat a lot of a class fighters in sparring including Morales, Barrera, De La Hoya, etc good prospects Antillon, Santa Cruz.
Finally somebody that gets it! Dude even 10 years after his tragic loss and the controversy people are just judgemental and full of hatred. Edwin was a victim of life from his upbringing, growing up in the most violent country on the planet even till this day, extreme poverty, head trauma and a severe career ending injury, drug abuse, fame etc... He was a victim of life circumstances and bad choices.
Edwin Valero was a asshole that abused and murdered his wife and then took his life by hanging himself. But he could fight, 27/27/27/0...I think Edwin Valero would have knocked out both Adrien Broner AND Floyd Mayweather Jr.
He never fought a proven elite fighter. He would have been picked apart and dominated by the like of Mayweather, Mosley or anyone else at the top of their game. Here we had another "Joel Julio", another "Edison Miranda". If he ever stepped up he would have been B level, with awesome power.
He is a great boxer. I like him I waited so long to see him box Pacquiao but I dont know why did not happen.Maybe Pacquiao avoiding him. He is a warrior
what a shame, i was just starting to get into him. valero is like another version of pacquiao in my opinion. he could of been a super star, it's such a shame he died so early. i dont care what anyone says, but any pro boxer with a record of 27-0 27 ko's is a fucking monster. that's 100% perfect.
Always was a huge fan of his boxing, he was a knock out machine. Not a huge fan of what he did though, its sad because brain injuries, especially the ones that go untreated, make a man go crazy... R.i.p mrs Valero, she didnt deserve that.
The best name he fought was DeMarco.. Although he had great potential he had a lot of flaws in the ring too, we can only assume how could he would of been.. Would of he been able to move up and beat the likes of Mayweather? Probably not but it would of been interesting.
Con todo respeto un buen prospecto pero nunca tuvo un gran oponente cómo terrible, Márquez o many con de marco fue buen combate pero ya con gente de renombre, le faltó vida . Y lo admiraba quizá iba para ser grande.
Valero vs Pac-Man 2012 would be a dream fight both still in there prime Edwin with a little more experience I think Valero would have won and face maywether
todos cometemos errores el que este libre de pecado lance la primera piedra el cometio el suyo lo pago con su vida creo que las ofensas hacia el ya estan demas en el mundo del deporte demostro ser campeon y que nadie le aguanto los 12 asaltos las drogas hicieron de las suyas en su vida personal es otra cosa pero nadie le quitara la pegada fuerte que tenia y que no le aguantaban y en estos videos son para ver al deportista no al que fallo
@jimpurdie 8 floyd fans liked that comment! Thats a really bold comment to make... I mean the best fighter he fought was antonio demarco whos a bum really!! pacmans beaten most of the best from 122 to 147... I still think valero wudn catch pacman and he'd be no better than margarito
@vince201088 lol i dont understand what u just said when pacquiao fails a drug test then u can say what ever u want. there is more evidence pacquiao is clean. u gonna have to do better than that my friend.
@JO3haNsum hld up, valero didnt fight the best because he died, dont open your mouth, he vacted his lightweight title to move up to jr.welter to fight guys like bradley, alexander, maidana, khan etc
pac is in this generation your comparing to a guy whos dead, imagine if he was still alive would he be sitting still doing nothing eating? i doubt that im pretty sure he would be training as well now think to yourself who would win , true opinion :" D?
Can some one please answer my question: based on what I know Valero fought 27 times and he had 27 wins all with knockouts. My question is how come he did not fight top fighters like Pacaio or Floyd or Marquiez?. Because when he died he was 28 yrs old [ which is not that young].
Because Valero got in a real bad motorcycle accident years ago, and it caused damage to his brain. Although he has fully recovered the usa boxing commission is very anal, and felt he should not be allowed to be licensed to fight in America due to his previous brain injury, or maybe they new he would beat boxings tv made stars, and they got scared to let him fight...Lol.. Regardless this made it hard for Valero to get recognized, and get big fights. Its such a shame, and tragedy what happened to him. He probably would have been fighting Mayweather instead of that chump Paccqiao by now had his life not got destroyed... Damn what a waste. We wont see another fighter like him for a long time if ever.
George Foreman gtfoh pac didn't duck shit Paul Williams and other welterweight fighters called out Floyd but did Floyd fight them no so stfu and gtfoh with that bs bitch
Krauty McLederhosen Valero most likely would has left Pacquio laying on the canvas. As far as Mayweather well.... that's a different story Mayweather's defense would probably get him through the fight, and if Mayweather survived all 12 rounds he most likely would have been up on points. I do know boxing well, and people can be jealous of Floyd, and hate on him all u want. That stil does not change the fact that Floyd is one of the greatest P4P fighters of all time. Valero could have been as well. His life, and story is far more tragic than Paul Williams. We will probably never see another Valero in our life time.
@Boylo2492 dont be caught listenin to ppl like hopkins and trinidad on sometin like this of course there gonna be biased towards valero! Same way they say in the wild card that jorge linares is probably the best p4p in the world? Really haha! linares aint done shit yet and neither did valero... I think valero would have been good with ppl like rios, maidana and ortiz but not khan, mayweather and pacquiao! simple
Does anyone know the other guy Joe Hernandez is talking about when he says dont ko these guys we are gunna lose our sparring and sounds like hes Valero and Ponce does anyone know if the other guy is ponce de leon
Admire him for his In ring skills and nothing else , he was a beautiful boxer inside the ring but obviously had big problems outside the ring and he also had health problems tht made him do what he did
Este individuo no hubiera llegada a ningún sitio a ningún sitio en EU no tiene defensa, se queda abierto cuando tira se queda abierto, cualquier segunda clase lo hubiera noqueado.
Big fan of Valero here. So sad this guy died. Valero was the future of the greatest sport ever.
Him and pacquiao would have been one fucking awesome fight.
Fight of the decade!!
Pac cleans him too fast
i remember asking broner how he would fare against Valero; he just laughed and kept chewin on his gum. meaning Valero woulda rly hurt him. seeing how maidana did; i know for a Fact Valero would stopped him

Bless his kids, I miss his fights.
The guy was literally possessed by a demon
Would have been the most likely to give Floyd a loss... BY KO IMO
IMO he was a better version of PAc.
valero was constantly improving, he woulldve beat may and pac imo 12-18 months down the line, just to strong and also intelligent, he wasnt a simple come forward fighter, had a good brain to go with it.
Ppl sleep on this dude..
i agree he would have beat floyd, but he would have got ko'd by pac
Krauty, you fail to understand that valero was not just some KO artist, he was an intelligent fighter constantly improving, thus why i predicted 12-18 months, the guy was improving fast and had a lot of good qualities. Stop crying, mayweather was good, but he completely cherry picked his fights at higher weight classes, valero was the real deal, smart, strong, and could hurt you with both hands and was improving rapidly, and loved being in the ring, all qualities that tell us he was going places.
i heard he cut off his real hands and replaced them with steel hands
@manbearpigisalive waste of talent?? I'm pretty sure he wasn't boxing to keep you impressed and keep you satisfied I'm pretty sure he did it because he had a passion for it. You make it sound like your a King or something
All boxing fans have missed out on loads of amazing fights wot an entertaining fighter Edwin Valero was!
he was untested at the top level
you shouldnt say that to valero because you dont really no why he killed his wife he was addicted drugs and one day he just snapped
What pisses me off is at 3:19 everybody looking at that combo did not get on there knees or show some kind of emotion after jeez.
soto karass is a big welterweight and a hard guy. he did give him a beating in sparring, valero is better known for beating top guys in the gym, he did beat a lot of a class fighters in sparring including Morales, Barrera, De La Hoya, etc good prospects Antillon, Santa Cruz.
@thelordmemnoch he was a little crazy man, give him a break. i mean brain injury + boxing + drug use = no good. it's simple.
Finally somebody that gets it! Dude even 10 years after his tragic loss and the controversy people are just judgemental and full of hatred. Edwin was a victim of life from his upbringing, growing up in the most violent country on the planet even till this day, extreme poverty, head trauma and a severe career ending injury, drug abuse, fame etc...

Edwin Valero was a asshole that abused and murdered his wife and then took his life by hanging himself.
But he could fight, 27/27/27/0...I think Edwin Valero would have knocked out both Adrien Broner AND Floyd Mayweather Jr.
No one can ever see what went on in their life (husband and wife). Something went wrong. Passion makes people incredibly crazy.
stephen k
Dont defend an abusive piece of shit that ended up murdering his own wife.
*****
Sure he was...
I'm just saying that love makes crazy people into crazier people. Think Scorpio. :D :D :D
He had a motorcycle accident his brain wasent functioning right
He never fought a proven elite fighter. He would have been picked apart and dominated by the like of Mayweather, Mosley or anyone else at the top of their game. Here we had another "Joel Julio", another "Edison Miranda". If he ever stepped up he would have been B level, with awesome power.
RIP, such a waste. wanted to see him take on the likes of Marquez and Pac
27 wins 27 KOs 0 loses
@4272mana No that was Gil Clancy (RIP) who told De La Hoya to keep away and protct his lead. It was a robbery regardless.
He is a great boxer. I like him I waited so long to see him box Pacquiao but I dont know why did not happen.Maybe Pacquiao avoiding him. He is a warrior
podrían ponerle subtitulos en español?
Era el mejor boxeador que vi en los ultimos 5 años!!!!!!!
Manny would punish him for his hands down style
This guy was special 😢
what a shame, i was just starting to get into him. valero is like another version of pacquiao in my opinion. he could of been a super star, it's such a shame he died so early. i dont care what anyone says, but any pro boxer with a record of 27-0 27 ko's is a fucking monster. that's 100% perfect.
That's intense, can't wait to see part 2
im just saying he was a troubled man and just snapped one day if you dont like what he did respect him as a boxer not a person
I read that hes been smoking drinking and using cocaine since he was 13
les agradeceria si alguin pudiera subitularlo a español. muchas gracias
@ElGansito Oscar De Leon - La Mazucamba
Always was a huge fan of his boxing, he was a knock out machine. Not a huge fan of what he did though, its sad because brain injuries, especially the ones that go untreated, make a man go crazy... R.i.p mrs Valero, she didnt deserve that.
Was that Erik morales? El terrible?
Manny would punish him too fast. Floyd will give him a lesson too smart. Even the likes of marquez or mosley beats him. He is untested he fought bums
none of you knew him personally, great fighter. very open/very dangerous.
The best name he fought was DeMarco.. Although he had great potential he had a lot of flaws in the ring too, we can only assume how could he would of been.. Would of he been able to move up and beat the likes of Mayweather? Probably not but it would of been interesting.
Not for nothing pac would had gave him his first lose
9:46 if thats not foreshadowing than idk what is
Con todo respeto un buen prospecto pero nunca tuvo un gran oponente cómo terrible, Márquez o many con de marco fue buen combate pero ya con gente de renombre, le faltó vida . Y lo admiraba quizá iba para ser grande.
this is bad ass.. fuck the UFC and god bless the world!
Valero vs Pac-Man 2012 would be a dream fight both still in there prime Edwin with a little more experience I think Valero would have won and face maywether
RIP Edwin Valero, sad story
Muy buena la entrevista pero hubiese sido bueno que fuera en español
What could have been .......

@xTazerx
Mayweahter and Mosley are too big.
Valero was much more skilled than Miranda and had speed and power. He would have been A level fighter.
era una verga

When was this? I know they sparred...
Krauty McLederhosen Valero most likely would has left Pacquio laying on the canvas.

Same way they say in the wild card that jorge linares is probably the best p4p in the world? Really haha! linares aint done shit yet and neither did valero... I think valero would have been good with ppl like rios, maidana and ortiz but not khan, mayweather and pacquiao! simple
Boylo2492
@jimpurdie you know nothing about boxing, period.
Does anyone know the other guy Joe Hernandez is talking about when he says dont ko these guys we are gunna lose our sparring and sounds like hes Valero and Ponce does anyone know if the other guy is ponce de leon
PGS yea bro the other guy is Ponce de Leon
2:47
Not better than Rockey Marciano
@ezequieloliver haha i dont know about all that
Would have been the greatest AKA pugilista
@marlonmuntu So you are excusing his actions?
Edwin was such a good fighter, could have been the next pacquiao

Doug Fisher...former boxing analyst.
This Was before his death.
No shit
My hero
5TRYD4 he murdered his wife you fucking idiot
i mean look at him sparring morales hes messin him up easy
It looks like his punches are more accurate than they are hard.
He was very skillfull but never managed to be great fighter.
Yeah because his career was cut short!
He was a beast in the ring, I don't think he would of beat Floyd though !
Yeah, Floyd would deck him with check hook.
But I agree, Edwin was a beast.
Fuck off
@TwinFlameMusic lol wtf?
Admire him for his In ring skills and nothing else , he was a beautiful boxer inside the ring but obviously had big problems outside the ring and he also had health problems tht made him do what he did
@marlonmuntu I don't disrespect him as a boxer, but it's awfully difficult to get over what he did.
Este individuo no hubiera llegada a ningún sitio a ningún sitio en EU no tiene defensa, se queda abierto cuando tira se queda abierto, cualquier segunda clase lo hubiera noqueado.
Jajajaja das risa de mil salió el criticón envidioso ....
manny pacquiao saved you a beating ¡¡¡
