He didn't really clean it out as such, but he beat Mijares who held 3 of the 4 major belts in that weight class, who was also rated P4P at the time.
Not quite... he hammered Dimitri Kirilov in his bout before Mijares to get one belt.
After that, he fought Mijares who had two other belts.
The only belt he didn't get was Montiel's WBO, and it was because Montiel moved up to 118 before fighting Darchinyan.
Mijares was a P4P elite, so he unified the division and beat a P4P fighter, which is why he is regarded so highly at this point.
My ultimate hope for darchinyan is that he discovers he can fight better at his walking around weight of 140 and beats the shit out of everyone. I don't know if he walks around at 140, but he looks pretty small when he fights.
Darch KO'd Kirilov and Mijares to get his belts. I thought Mijares was gonna own him too. I wonder why Ring quit allowin WBA/WBC/IBF unification to establish lineage. Then he beat down Arce. Now he wants Agbeko for his next divison belt. Gotta luv Darch. :boxing:
Darchinyan needs to rematch Doniare.

I'm no Darchinyan hater and not a fan at the same time but the guys that he has beaten since his loss to Donaire are totally tailor-made for him. Kirilov and Mijares had no punching power to pose any kind of threat to his chin and Jorge Arce was as shot as JFK. He needs to clean up that loss to Nonito if he expects fans to think highly of him. But Mr. Shaw won't allow that.
Darchinyan isnt ducking Donaire. The thing is Donaire career up until recently has been handled poorly, as evident him going over a year without a fight. What was Vic suppose to do, sit around and wait for him. Also Vic is gonna have a showdown with Montiel and eventually wants to go up and face Izzy. Izzy is a far more dangerous opponent than Donaire. The real problem has always been Donaire's handlers, who couldnt bring a fighter along for sh!t.
Yeah you're right you can blame Donaire's promoter back then, which was Gary Shaw himself. :rofl::rofl:
Now that Donaire is with top rank, he's getting good fights now.

Too bad after Donaire moves up to Darchinyan's division in september Darchinyan'll duck the shit out of him and take on mandatory challenger after mandatory challenger in a facade to keep all his belts. And when Donaire becomes a mandatory for 1 of those belts he will either vacate it or move up a weight class again.
Donaire is moving up to challenge for the WBO Super Flyweight, however, Darchinyan has a fight signed with Joseph Agbeko for the IBF Bantamweight title, which he signed before Donaire announced his fight. Also, Darchinyan expressed that he would love to rematch Donaire, so he is not ducking him really. Though the real problem in the issue is Gary Shaw, he doesn't want Darchinyan to face Donaire, because he knows what will happen.
You think so? I heard before that loss vic was like the most avoided fighter of all time, just because he might be pfp the hardest puncher. He was only able to get those recent fights because of the donaire loss. Maybe he'll be a hypocrite and duck donaire, I just kind of thought he wouldn't. Donaire might even duck him.
You earn PFP status by cleaning out a division. I heard Darcho did that. I don't really have a clue but I'm throwing it out there.
