Valero never accomplished enough as a boxer prior to his demise to be genuinely compared to an icon like Duran. Valero’s manic, ferocious and aggressive nature in the squared circle were actually somewhat reminiscent of Boxing Hall of Famer Roberto “Hands of Stone” Duran (103-16, 70 KOs).

Nevertheless, Valero, a southpaw who once established a world record by winning his first 18 professional fights by opening round knockouts, had a fearsome ring presence and solid overall abilities as a prizefighter. Pacquiao is an all-time great and the relatively untested Valero would have justifiably been a decided underdog had he ever met the “Fighting Pride of the Philippines.” There is a distinct possibility that Valero would be scrapping Pacquiao next month instead of Mosley if he weren’t a homicidal, and suicidal, maniac. "Mosley has quick hands, he will press the fight, and he is a legit welterweight who has fought real champions. "Styles make fights," said Roger "Pit" Perron, 73, a longtime trainer from Brockton who now works with Mike and Rich Cappiello at their gym, Cappiello Brothers Boxing and Training. Strictly due to his name recognition, Mosley (46-6-1-1, 39 KOs) was selected as the opponent for Pacquiao over more qualified boxers like lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez (52-5-1, 38 KOs) and welterweight titlist Andre Berto (27-0, 21 KOs). Pacquiao (52-3-2, 38 KOs) has ridiculously agreed to fight former three-division champion “Sugar” Shane Mosley May 7 at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas.
“Manny Pacquiao is the fight the world wants to see,” said Valero, the only fighter in the 30 years of the WBC to win every bout of his career by knockout.
