Vicious Venezuelan Looms Large For Manny

Check out the hair and the goatee and you might think this bad cat is just some latter day hippie who wandered away from San Francisco.

Like wow, peace and love and where’s your guitar, dude?

But it?s actually the Vicious Venezuelan, Edwin Valero, the man who has stomped on one tuk tuk driver after another and who proclaims long and loud that he will be the guy to bring Manny Pacquiao down.

Can Valero lay Pacman low? What say you Boxingconfidential.com stalwarts?

His planned destruction of Da Pacman has to wait as Valero, now under Bob Arum?s Top Rank banner, fights Alfredo Pitalua April 4 in Texas.

Is this Pacman’s genuine Danger Man or just a guy who has run up a contrived record and destroyed only those poor tuk tukc drivers?

That reminds me of when Greg Haugen got chopped up Julio Cesar Chavez before 136,000 people at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City. Before the fight, Haugen said Chavez had beaten mainly cab drivers from Tijuana.

After he took a beating, Haugen said: “Those were some bad ass cab drivers!”
