he'll certainly have his name on the ballot at this point in my estimation
he's had a good sturdy run of it and has enjoyed a good stretch of time at the top, especially considering he's so small, and smaller men usually get used up quickly
as of right now i don't think he's quite there
he was a monster coming up, and had a great undefeated run
donaire exposed him (only later to be recognized as perhaps the best young fighter on the planet)
agbeko outpointed him sturdily in a competitive fight
and mares did likewise in my eyes.
split decision d with Z gorres in the phillipines
he'll be remembered as one of the best punching flyweights of recent memory
the dude could bomb a guy out with one shot at 112
only a few men in history can say that
when he was a come forward destroyer at 112 his left hand was one of the most dangerous weapons in the sport
he'll go down as a warrior, as well. he never backed down from anything, and even when he was dead to right against donaire, he did his best to gain his feet. a lesser man says **** this, and finds a soft spot on the canvas.)
other than the donaire rematch (which his team avoided like the plague) he fought virtually everybody he could get in the ring
and he did become a more subtle boxer as his career progressed. he looked very good against perez on saturday performing largely as a boxer.
in my eyes he's got some serious work to do to get in
but he's certainly worthy of being on the ballot
and i consider him a great fighter

Every1 forgets Vic was doing well in that fight until he lounged in carelessly and got koed. So no way should Donaire now have an easy time with Vic, in the rematch. It may produce a classic, a FOTY.
It was a BS decision, Tommy won clearly. It was the kd that did it, but it was no big kd really, Tommy was just off balance. I had Tommy clearly ahead, there were quite a lot of close rounds, but most of them shoulda been given to Tommy the Hitman.
