4 weight multiple time world champion, 40 wins 6 losses
P4P top 3 in his prime, foty 2012, koty 2007, 2012 upset of the year 2007 All time great highlight reel and resume. Left hook comparable to roy jones, joe frazier, trinidad
37 year old donaire taking the monster inoue to his limit. Fighting oubali at 38 for his wbc belt. Doing better than the guys that beat him
Rigo= quit against loma and disappeared
Walters = humiliated and retired
Magdaleno= missing in action
Frampton = washed up and gone
Donaire is a legend and an exciting fighter a future 1st ballot hof.
one of the greatest
donaire deserves to be up there with pacquiao,
but because he fights at a lower wgt, he's always been in considered less skilled, or in the shadow
ultra aggressive, pure offense, which is why he's exciting, and the same reason why he lost a few.
(in addition to the fact he fought at a higher wgt)
i think he's better than pacquiao now.
He’s definitely cut from the cloth of the throwback legends we speak of with so much respect and admiration for the willingness to always aim to win and fight anyone win lose or draw!
Give Prime Donaire his past prime version willingness to not rely on one shot and he’d be in conversations of the upper echelon of all time greats but nonetheless he’s still a future HOF, legend and all time great in my book!
He is indeed one of the best... Hope he gets that 115 belt he wants... Also, not sure if he can capture a title at 130 which he also wants... Perhaps try Alvarado's WBA (Regular) at 127 catchweight...
Im sure he didnt lose at bantamweight either until he fought inoue
I will be honest I’ve watched only 2 fights of his and that was because I was supporting RIGO. Rigo took him to school. I don’t follow any boxing below 126 to be fair. I will check him out
I'm surprised that he managed to last this long. I thought after the Walters fight he'd basically retire. But he's hung in there and 6 years later he's managed to remain a force in the division.
Would love to see a rematch with Rigo now.
He probably is all those good things. He hurt his record by fighting in too heavy of weight class and getting himself beat. If he had never fought above 112 he might have no loses. Did he ever lose at 112 or below? I can't remember. I don't think he ever lost at 112 and below.

You forgot to mention one of Nonito's greatest feats, when he blew-out Ryan Burnett's cheeks in the WBSS bantam-weight tournament. ATG moment right there.
Agreed, great moment in a legendary career. If I put that clip in a highlight reel video for Donaire, I'd between the Darchinyan KO and the Montiel KO.
Hold up with that 4-div champ, he’s aiming for 5. After this Oubali fight, he might wanna consider moving down to 115 to win a title.
It’s weird that he didn’t get a title in there. During his time, the only belt holders in there were the guy he beat already (Darchinyan) and the guys he beat later on north of that weight (Montiel and Narvaez) yet he never got a title in there
Hope he starches oubali and gets that 115lb belt to do that at 38/39 were talking about foreman levels of comeback. I thought he lost it after he got married and had kids but his fire has been rekindled

That was a legitimate shot. I remember donaire hit him in the early rounds with a hook on the hip area and he gave up later on
