Donaire fights in a very similar style to me. The way he throws his punches, the way he moves on his feet. He bangs to the body like roy did. He has power in both hands like roy. I wont be surprised to hear people noting similarities in the future!
These comments are just sickening... Fuck I hate filipino fans. Makes it so hard to like the Filipino fighters. I just want to see them get ko'd so you idiots will stfu.
How are you so sure that these posters who's heaping praises for Donaire are Filipinos?
Donaire isn't technically better as soon as he slows he's screwed all fast fighters are they get lazy and get beat Ali Leonard Robinson jones Floyd if he stays to long PAC i mean it's only a matter of time only reason people say Roy was just speed was because he fell so fast and he was just too good.
Ya man. RJJ was just a 1-2 puncher with no angles or creativity. What a bore.
Exactly, I don't who the hell would buy RJJ's fights. I guess that 600k PPVs sold for the RJJ-Ruiz fight mostly consisted of John Ruiz fans and HW fight fans.
Come on man, even Johnson can outbox and KO RJJ. Pac is known for his ability to throw punches from different angles with different combinations. It's absurd that Pacman competing with the HOFers like JMM, Barrera, Cotto, DLH on the skill level to the RJJ who compete with Ruiz, Griffin, Tarver.
hes rite. once pac's athleticism declines, hes in a whole lot of trouble. especially at the higher weights. the last fight showed, his career is a ticking time bomb.
RJJ has just as good as skills as Pac.

this is just not true at all, Im sorry.....
Donaire can do none of the things a prime Roy could do. This is just absurd
He said similar.
Athletically nobody comes close to Roy. NO ONE.
but Technically once those super powers eroded. Anybody with decent power would knock him out.
Donaire is much better than RJJ, who can't KO any solid opponent. His technical skills, smartness, combinations are much superior to RJJ's skills. Beating up bums as RJJ did is not the same KOing best boxers.
Similarity was about how they were brought up. Their dads got them to box and gave them fundamentals. One is done with the sport while the other is still up and coming.
i dont agree that hes just as athletic. i think roy, who was much bigger and fought at a higher weight was more athletic p4p.
c'mon man... as you go up in weight, the speed of the boxers decrease... for nonito to be that fast at the lower weights tells you he's really fast.
also, as you go up in weight, the power of the boxers increase... but nonito has shown remarkable power even going up in weight... while rjj lost some pop on his way up.

I concur maybe he's just as athletic as a young Oscar.

except he's got nothing of roy's presence, showmanship, and charisma which is basically what made rjj what he was.
Styles dont seem similar to me. Roy would rock back and forth with his left arm low. Nonito is a better technical boxer, more fundamentally sound. No one touches Roy's athleticism when he was in his prime though.
