Nonito Donaire is more skilled then Pac

[ELPacman]

Donaire looked great last night even though he was talking about not being able move very well and he felt a little off. Imagaine what he would have done if his legs were ok.

Yeah he wasn't as bouncy as when he fought Vic, but still looked good. I think he got tagged abit more than he should have but that's ok. He understands that keeping his hands low, it's gonna happen. That and the way he shoots his straight right, he drops it REALLY low. But so far, from the shots I've seen him eat between last nights fight and with Vic, Nonito has a solid chin. He's eating hard flush shots and walked right through them. I think if he can stay focused throughout his career and not let it get to his head, he can go far.

Yeah he seems like a guy that can be champ for a while and also move up in weight to be champ. I enjoy watching him fight. He has good boxing skills and good power in both hands, especially that great lefthook of his.

I'm a bigger Pac fan but Donaire is the most skilled Pinoy fighter today.

well donaires more solid technically but pacs beaten legends.
well see how donaire does against better fighters hes looked good in his last two

To be honest I haven't really followed Pacman's career so I couldn't tell ya who has more boxing skill. However, this is the second time I've seen Donaire and I'm extremely impressed with this kid! He's a great counter puncher, knows when to pick his shots, and has good power and accuracy on those shots!..

I very much look forward to watching this guy in the future and hope he continues to improve...

Different styles of fighting, different skills required, different skills honed and developed.

Donaire is better skilled in the conventional sense of the work, "fighting skills". He's up there in skills level of this type.

Pacquiao's style is different. He uses his extraordinary gifts of speed and power and the skills he has developed are the ones that put those gifts to the best use possible. And there's his heart and "gusto" which seem to fuel his frenetic pace, round after round.

The young Roy Jones, Jr., another gifted fighter did things that were against the book and had skills that books did not mention. He accomplished what needed to be accomplished.

Evaluating Pacquiao's skills using conventional yardsticks, I think, would produce a flawed conclusion.
