Do you consider Nonito Donaire to be a hall of famer or an all time great

It's felony not to say YES.

More respect for the FILIPINO FLASH!!!

Bump. No denying that Donaire is a definite HOF, and also an ATG in my opinion. Never backed down on anyone, very humble even in defeat, and has bounced back. A win over Inoue (very tall order) would cement his ATG status.

Nonito has wins over: Vic Darchinyan (twice), Moruti Mthalane, Hernan Marquez, Volodymyr Sydorenko, Fernando Montiel, Omar Narvaez, Wilfredo Vazquez Jr., Jeffrey Mathebula, Toshiaki Nishioka, Jorge Arce, Simpiwe Vetyeka, and now Ryan Burnett. Darchinyan, Montiel and Arce may themselves end up in the hall of fame. Burnett is still young so, for all we know he may end up having a great career. He has already been a unified champion. Donaire is an 8x World Champion in 4 divisions, 2012 Fighter of the Year by both The Ring and BWAA, and a 2x Ring Magazine KO of the Year winner. If he is going into the Hall of Fame should never be questioned. Boxers that have accomplished much less have gotten in. Whether he is an ATG, it depends on the person, because it seems like everyone has different guidelines. Nonito has simply done more than most boxers in the last decade, even from 2000-present you wouldn't be able to name many fighters that have done more than him. Donaire just moved back down to 118 and despite being slower than he used to be and older, he was still competitive against the faster and younger Burnett. I had the fight 2-2 before the stoppage. I think Donaire is a live opponent against Tete. If he beats Tete that will just be one more title and one more name on his resume. I don't think he can beat Inoue at this stage of his career, but imagine if he did. As breadman has said, Nonito "Cleanest Great Fighter of this era."

HOF - Most likely because he was a 4 division world champion, and was voted FOTY, had a nice stretch. an ATG - He is not.

There are a lot of boxers in the HOF who hasnt accomplished what donaire did. titles at 112, 118, 122, 126. Unified 118 by beating fellow p4p boxer Fernando Montiel. Won the ring belt at 122 against Toshiaki Nishioka. Ring magazine fighter of the year in 2012. Went down 2 weightclasses at an advance age and won a belt against a decent prime titleholder. Montiel, Darchinyan, Nishioka, Burnett, Mthalane, Navaez, Hernan Marquez, Vazquez Jr., Mathebula and Arce across 4 weight divisions is decent enough list to get in the HOF.

He's a hall of famer for sure. donaire was one the best fighters pound for pound of his era.

easily a hall of famer

I think he's a HOFer

Bump. Hall of Fame, without a doubt. Not ATG.

HOF yes. ATG no. I don't get the hate for Nonito. The dude fought everybody. When people were telling him to fight Rigo what did he do? He fought Rigo. Today, everybody one or two weight classes above Rigo's weight refuses to fight him, and Nonito is the only person who wants to fight him AGAIN. Most people don't even want to fight Walters and what does Nonito do? He goes up in weight just to challenge him.

Easy HOFer, probably won't reach ATG status.

Hof yes he is. ATG only Floyd and Manny and maybe Bhop can be considered.

idk bro.. he took a atg hof ass whoopin from Rigo. imo, his resume is weak. the fighters he beat came to lose plus he was much bigger. where is sidorneko now? narvaez? mthlane? not doing ****. and he won a foty award for fighting that weak caliber. only reason he had any recognition was because 48 coat tail riding. darch was his biggest win followed by beating an severley overrated montiel. how overrated was dontcare? he won koty for a knockdown ffs. not a fan of ANY 48ers. Huh? 48ers? R u that dumb? What a **** post lol

ATG? Only 1 or 2 will be ATG in our era TBH. HOF? Well it's much more lineant

No.....but would not argue if he got into the hall of fame at all

theres no relevance in his wins unless we count his opponents past accomplishments. when they faced him they were undersized and gun shy. once he started fighting closer to his natural weight he started getting beat up. i respect your point of view but in my view i dont rate his accomplishments that high because his opponents never had a wow factor aside from vic. imo, they came to lose or were picked because their style didnt match well with his. Still, i respect your opinion real pug :boxing: Thanks bro Height doesn't equate to size Nonito was a flyweight over half his career and fought below that in the ams For example look @ hilario Zapata he was tall AF... Don't mean you're stronger or have an advantage Hearns was tall wasn't super strong and once he got past 147 he got rocked n outmuscled often....was he not great cuz he was taller than his opponents? Even @ 175+....height isn't size It took a freakishly large feather to tko him for the first time...nonito was in fifth division and an atg amateur star rigo who is p4p elite now to outbox him After his meteroic rise n slide people are doing him a disservice and underrating him He is definitely a hall of famer....atg is up for debate People forget how hard something is after they witness it You'd be hardpressed to find anyone who can list every fighter who started @ 112 or less and won titles there and up to 126 more The little divisions are so deep with talent...I'll make it easier....turn pro 112 and won a title above that weight lineal

If Gatti is a HOF then sure, why not.

HOF'er 100%, ppl sh*t on him but hes a great fighter and fought ppl most would never fight.

Good post. I was kinda' irritated with him for a while, but you're right. War Nonito. :boxing: agreed :boxing:
