Who has the better skill set Adrien Broner or Nonito Donaire?

Nonito for me. Tougher opposition, but that's when he seems to train harder. He can fight both stances. He has a good jab. His footwork can be very good to dictate a fight. He has great timing to counter, especially the left hook. He uses his power shots at the right time after a few weak ones. He is pretty hard to hit flush because of his movement and guard. Added with his speed, power and chin, he is dangerous. Only issue is, against fighters he seems to not respect, he kinda goes too wild.

I voted for Donaire. I am assuming the ability to KO top fighters with one lightning fast punch and all the champions he has so easily defeated count as part of his skill set. If the two fighters were the same size I think Donaire would KO Broner. I think Broner is a future star but totally unproven compared to Donaire.

Nonito is proven p4p material... broner just has p4p potential well said friend !

dont you talk about a tweaked out Eloy Perez like that :grr: you mean the burrito eater? orale Mak! :ugh:

old nonito YES but new nonito only looks for one punch......... people have forgotten that donaire has turned into a one handed power puncher........

Broner isn't Mayweather!

they're both highly skilled, but i think broner's the better physical specimin

His performance against Mathebula is what has me leaning towards Broner, he kept looking for that counter left hook as oppose to cutting the ring off, jabbing his way in and working the body. That's the only guy I give him credit for fighting this year. The rest, Vazquez, Nishioka, Arce, whack. Hopefully Broner at 29 years old will be fighting way better fighters than those. Right now understandably at 23 he's still fighting "step-up" fights. Where all of his fights right now are just a step higher than his last, until he plateaus and is just fighting elite fighters. Donaire is 29-30 and still fighting some bum ass fighters. Pathetic.

Broner, no question. Donaire the one punch fighter is only good if you put a certain type of style in front of him. P4P Broner knocks him out easily.

I hate the equal options from polls when it comes to comparing fighters/ Equal/not sure/draw should only be for fight outcomes and even that is annoying too. It gives people who don't like the fighter they should pick, a chance to not pick him by picking equal.

No but really, is it me or is it getting out of hand? No it's not just you. Internet forums tend to lend disproportionate weight to recent events. The hype surrounding a fighter peaks the day after he wins, and steadily declines and dissipates thereafter.

Nonito. I am not sold on broner's long range yet. He good close.. And decent mid range. Nonito has the more comprehensive skillset imo. Just because Broner uses a shoulder roll that doesn't automatically make him as technically sound as Mayweather. It goes both ways, Donaire has not shown me that he can fight on the inside. He hasn't faced an opponent that's been strong/ or durable enough to compete with him, I mean it's hard enough that he usually has the size advantage. I'm with you on questioning Broner's game from long range though, his ability to box; fight going backwards, he still hasn't shown me how well he can do that. I think Rios or Matthysse can maybe force him to go that route, but personally I think he can handle them well enough inside. It's hard to say who's more skilled, Donaire has tested himself against the much stronger opposition and Broner has recently shown more versatility. I might be leaning towards Broner.

Both hugely skilled but i think Nonito just has the edge, plus he combs his own hair.

but voted Nonito because he's used his skill set vs top quality opponents. broners barely fought anyone of significance. ^^^^^^^^^^ There it is. The only logical answer.

Wow. The guy 5 fights removed from arguably losing to Ponce De Leon - a murders row run of Perez, Rodridguez, Escobedo, Litzau - looks like an ATG? Flomoism has spread to Broner. As such, any criticism is to be re-categorized as 'hate'.

Broner for sure.

I like Broner and think he's got a promising future, but there's no comparison at this point in time. Donaire is a proven elite P4P fighter. He's faced all manner of top level opponent over the last number of years, beating them all, and he rules arguably the best division in the sport with an iron fist. He's had the skill to answer all the questions the top guys have asked of him so far.

Very close i would have to say Nonito at the moment but i think Broner will overtake him.
