If Nonito Donaire retires Cristian Mijares is he the GOAT?

I've said that Marquez couldn't win Fighter of the Year based on just one fight. So it's not that. What bothers me is that Nonito is turning into another Pacquiao....he won't fight anyone unless Bob Arum approves it. aint that the power all promoters have tho? why you been running from esb i screwed somebody else's sister there , and they found out...dont tell them im here

why you been running from esbJust look at this place, it is crawling with pactards. There are hardly any on ESB compared to here.

Nonito might fight four times again this year, but if none of the opponents are the ones the fans want does it really matter? He knew Arce wasn't shit, which is why he decided to fight him at the end of the year. You think he'll fight 4 solid opponents next year?

I was cheering him. And I am a fan. But him not fighting Mares or Rigondeaux is cowardly. idk why people think Donaire is ducking Mares? I truly believe both fighters want that fight. The reason it's not being made is Arum. GBP has came out and tried to make the fight and Arum is holding that one up. As to Rigondeuax. Donaire is ducking the crap out of him

damn , few weeks ago , you were cheering on nonito..but since he won the fighter the year instead of jmm, youre bitter.. why you been running from esb

But him not fighting Mares or Rigondeaux is cowardly. it is cowardly IF it's true he will not fight them .. but i dont think youre as naive to believ it's all up to nonito esp when it comes to mares given tr vs fued.. i mean why is it nonito's fault and not mares 's or rigondeaux , they all did the same things ..called eachother out and claimed they tried..why blame just one fighter.. and i know youre bitter of nonito winning the foty instead of jmm..maniac is too and i dont blame you guys coz it woulda prolly been jmm's last chance at getting that award..but did'nt get it

No but if he cashes out a couple more old champions next year the horde will proclaim him #2 ATG and #1 P4P :rofl:

Mijares had a good win vs Marquez but he really hasn't been the same since the Darchynian fight!

He fought 4 times in 2012 and was named Fighter of the Year. Are you telling me that this was all just a smokescreen to cover up clever matchmaking and cherry picking?

people will watch him regardless :dunno:

I think Arum doesn't know what the abbreviation GOAT stand for. Greatest Of All Time means best boxer ever, bar none, period. Not so very bright thing to say. Maybe he meant ATG (an All Time Great, one among the many all time greats). Donair is far, far, far from either. If anything, he is very overrated.

Mijares is probably a bit too much of a risk at this stage, give him a few more years until he starts too slow down a bit first.

That's exactly right. Doesn't want to risk him too much just yet. and thats whats wrong with boxing YAY FOR CHERRYPICKING!!!!!!!!!!!! :luvbed:

Arum needs a new cash cow and can easily get a fanbase with another Filipino fighter.
