    He already jumped off the Arce bandwagon when Mijares beat him...even though Mijares was little known before that regardless of being a beltholder. He was really on Panchito Bojado's nuts until he lost and tore down all his posters. He was quick to write off Johnny Gonzales as a journeyman even though he's having a pretty successful comeback after losing grampa penalosa

      Donaire is a diamond in the rough. I predict he'll take over the reign of Pacquiao when he retires from boxing. Nonito is an up and comer who will be noticed soon.

        the boy is better skilled and technical than manny imo. he's from a boxing family.

          Be real homie. The guy is really good but is no Pacquiao. Donaire relies on skill and is generally nowhere near as entertaining to watch as Pacquiao who goes pedal to the medal all 12 rds. while Donaire will generally try to slow down the pace the of the fight

            i don't know if nonito will ever accomplish anything like what manny did.

            he doesn't have manny's natural physical gifts.

            nonito will be good though. he has great boxing skills. do you know how long his dad has been training him? did he train glen and nonito at a young age?

              Nonito can be Bigger then manny...he has crossover appeal he is witty can talk english well is american and filipino..but does he have that hunger? or is he gonna wind up like brian viloria a guy with extreme promise but a big let down.

                I've spent a lot of time speaking to Nonito when he was having a lot of trouble getting fights, he is as hungry as a fighter gets.

                  How old is Nonito?.. 24?

                  Well then, he better hurry up and snatch more world titles if he wants to be recognized like Manny. So far he already got 1 at 112?

                  I believe he can beat Mijares at 115 cuz that's his natural fighting weight and he's been successful against leftys lately. He can match Mijares, skill wise. But Donaire has the edge on speed and power department.

                  Arce is a joke. That Thai dude should've won.

                    Englishspeaking or not the chances of him being bigger than Pac are slim.

                    For starters he wont have any notable dance partners like manny. With the exception of Mijares theres really noone out there between 115 and 126 by the time he gets there.

                    He has a thrilling KO over Vic but even the 1sided beatings he gives out more closely resemble chess matches a la mayweather than 100mile an hour thrill ride a la morales
