He's being hated on right now because he's too good. Its sort of like the Klitchkos who are dominating the competition. Donaire is doing the same in the lower weights and paying the price, being called a "phony". In truth he is an elite fighter, a complete fighter who is making opponents completely scared to fight.
Last nights performance IMO, solidified him as the BEST at 122 and definitely deserving to be a top 5, if not top 3 P4P fighter.
Donaire's next move after Arce in December (if his hand heals) should be a move to 126.
I think that will be his glass ceiling as far as weight climbing is concerned.
He's gonna duck this
He ducked it bad. :lol1: It's funny to see the same people who constantly say, "He makes weight, there are no height and reach classes" rip on Donaire.
He can't leave without fighting the Mares-Moreno winner. He has to fight that fight before he thinks about leaving 122.
hard to see that fight happening since they're both with gbp. if donaire gets past arce (which he should) I would like to see donaire vs rigo before he moves to 126.
I know, I know.
That's just the fight I want to see.
at this point, he's just at home at 122 physically. i think haters are just out of excuse material that's why they're bringing up the size.
true....donaire looks to be about the right size for 122. he doesn't look drained at all at the weigh-ins.

I'd like to see him fight the Moreno-Mares winner first.

People change their tunes so quickly. Everyone was giving him props for fighting Nishioka, now that he dominated him he's too big/overhyped/not fighting the best blah blah blah. He will clean out 122. Mares and Rigo both get KO'd.

People said the same thing after he knocked out Montiel despite the fact Montiel outweighed him.
I guess 122 is the same.
Here's the facts; He makes the weight and always has.
I'm not even a big fan of Donaire but let's face it, he's earned his respect at this point, and then some.

maybe the shorts and the socks but i don't get how donaire is too big at 122? he just came from a lower division a year ago so how is he bigger than the other fighters who started their career at 122? you can't use height because there are a bunch of guys there who are taller or just as tall. he never failed to make weight.
too big at their weight are guys like broner who won't even agree to a 10-pound rehydration on the morning of his fight. and then you have posters like cigarillo who is a broner fan complaining about donaire being too big. fcuking idiot.

Too good? More like too big. This guy should be fighting at 130/135.
So were you this mad when Paul Williams was fighting at 147, I can't wait for this response.

you should get rid of the paul williams gif before you say this crap ..hypocritical:dunce:
