Nino Valdes - Was the Cuban heavyweight boxing champion in the 1940s and 1950s. Valdés was a top contender for the heavyweight title during the mid 1950s, although he never received a shot due to his mixed results in the ring. Ring Magazine ranked Valdez as high as the #2 contender in its annual rankings for 1958 and he was highly ranked in several other years. After a string of four losses to notable fighters such as Harold Johnson, Archie Moore, and Bob Baker in 1952 and 1953, he went undefeated in an impressive run of 11 consecutive victories which saw him defeat Ezzard Charles and Tommy "Hurricane" Jackson. However, the streak came to an end when he lost a rematch to Moore by a fifteen-round unanimous decision on May 2, 1955. He lost another fight to Bob Satterfield three months later. After beating former title contender Don Cockell, he lost a ten-round unanimous decision to Bob Baker on December 7, 1955, costing him a potential title bout against Rocky Marciano.

Valdes was a decently schooled, very large (like Hasim Rahman/George Foreman, his height/weight only partially tell the tale; the guy's frame was massive) hard puncher, in a very under-rated era. That said, he had his limitations. He was fairly easy to hit, he looped his right hand, and he wasn't particularly quick. But despite his porous defense, his chin was excellent and if you weren't on your A-game, he'd wear you down with his size and pressure.

This man was talented. I think Rocky's conditioning and determination would have carried him to a late KO over Valdez in a heck of a fight

The common sentiment seems to be that Valdes could have given Marciano a good fight had they battled. But if a far out of prime Louis knocked out Valdes, I don't see him having much of a chance against Rocky.

I tend to agree although Valdes was actually quite good for a very short period of time. If he'd have been given a shot around '54 or '55 I think he'd have given Marciano a tough fight. Also Louis never fought Valdes.

Nino didn't like to train so there were some fights where he looked unbeatable and others where he looked average. On his best days he'd have given Marciano all he could handle...

No way he gives Marciano all he can handle. You’re vastly overrating him. Marciano and Valdes sparred once and Valdes left the ring puking

Nino eventually had to retire in 1959 because of detached retina . He spent the last 30 years of h i s life as a doorman and security guard . The money had run out long before. He died in a small one room flat in NY in 2001 at the age of 76. The Golden Days a long vanished memory.....

Actually next in line was Tommy Jackson, he was ranked #1 after Moore lost to Rocky. That or a Moore rematch, he and Jackson traded places at 1 and 2. Valdes kinda diminished following his second loss to Moore.

Sorry. This does not hold up to scrutiny. Valdes was rated number 1 for two years prior to fighting Moore. The same month as this fight, between two top contenders, Rocky gave a title shot to the visibly out of shape Don Cockell, who’d lost to a middleweight. Marciano would be far less criticized had he fought and beaten the big, powerful Cuban during the two years Valdes was top contender and not the soft touch Cockell. Read Mike Stanton’s definitive biography.
@2msvalkyrie529

To be fair : according to reports from the time Cockell was 10 - 1 underdog and weighed in at 14 st 9 lb against Rocky 13 st 7 lbs. Cockell did ok for the first 3 rounds but after that the beat down commenced and he took quite a beating hanging off the ropes at the end of the 8 th round. He came back out for the 9th and was down twice before it was stopped. Rocky praised the guys guts as did reporters at the time. He gave it his best shot and could have quit earlier. He only fought twice more .Losing to Nino in 3 rounds in one of those. He died of cancer in 1983 aged 54.
