A lot of respect for Morales and his camp for sparring Valero in front of cameras. Its not a very good PR move for top fighters to spar someone very strong or on even grounds with the champion since there is always the fear of the champ looking bad in front of the camera and public and seeing his weaknesses get exploited by the sparring partner. But Morales did it because he wanted to fight a strong fighter to see how good he himself was. Just the kind of champs of the olden days. I heard that Valero got kicked out of Golden Boy Camp because he was giving too much trouble to Oscar De La Hoya. Valero was a special talent

The EM sparring bud came years later I believe after he had retired. As for De La Hoya the only rumor that was true was in the post fight of de la Hoya/pacquiao someone interviewed EV saying he got kicked out. Years later somebody else from golden boy admitted it.

For me, and by now I've watched almost all of Valero's fights, his most special attribute beside his hand eye coordination (combination punching) and his inner strength (his demon like intensity) is his balance. He has the balance of a ballerina. Very special. One rarely finds that talent. Balance and rhythm make a terrible beauty in boxing.

And the fluidness of his attack. EM could find holes in Def. I believe his attack is MORE FLUID than Pacman, dude would of beat Floyd(maybe? I think, idk?) But by far five him more probs than any1 did ,esp castillo, ODLH,-Golden BIOTCH... And Maidana. He really fucked Maidana up if you watch close. EM Wasn't going 💯, was TRAINING, VALERO MOST SILIAR TO MANNY, HIS LEFT IF IT TOUCHED YOU SQUARE-YOU SLANTED. this dude would of kept climbing ladder like Pac. Would have climbed to 154 and STILL BE THE STRONGEST AND THE BULLY. AS STATED SO PRECISE, FLUID, RELENTLESS WITH HIS ATTACK. COVERS A LOT OF DEFENSIVE LIABILITIES, 1 FLAW, HOLES IN D, NO HIGH GUARD, LIKE HE SAID , IKE KOSTA TSZYU, FIGHTS WITH HANDS LOW READY TO POUNCE AND COUNTER "ANYTHING!!!!" JUST A BEAUTIFUL GENERAL IN THE RING HAD BAD MENTAL PROBS, AND I THINK THE MOTORCYCLE PLAYED INTO IT. WHAT A TREAT THESE VIDEOS. THAT FIGHT WITH MOSQUARA(SP?) NON STOP ACTION FROM BELL TO BELL.

Erik is so lethargic and drained from having to make weight, look at that big sweater he's wearing. There's no way that isn't hindering his movement and performance. It's too bad we could never see a younger, fresher El Terrible spar with the late Valero.

The big difference I see from Valero nd Pakq is the defence. Valero defence was to step back hands down get feet in position ready to counter. Pakq was to have hands up waiting for the fighter to get himself out of position. Valero p4p. They need to release sparring session

Valero has had trouble getting a license to fight in the United States due to a Motorcylcle accident were he substain a head injury. Valero claims he suffered no permanent injuries,but Physicians here won't give him the clean bill of health.

I don't anyone should have ever prepared for a fight by sparring Edwin Valero. He would just beat everyone up and demoralize them. Even Oscar De La Hoya kicked him out of training camp.

why would excuses b necessary? If you know boxing at all, you'd know there's a HUGE difference between sparring and an actual match. Neither Valero nor EM were throwing super hard in this, for all you know, Erik may have been working on specific tiny little thing here, or on defense. You can't tell anything from sparring unless it turns into a war. there's a tape out there showing Spadafora getting the best of Mayweather. Do you really think Paul Spaddy has a chance v.
