I don't know if he on the meaningless pound for pound list or not, but I consider him one of the very best in the sport. Top 10 without a doubt IMO.

Posts: 3,676 Darchinyan VS Donaire, I smell an Upset...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I like Darchinyan, I like KO artist, I like fighters who fights anybody. I've seen a Bunch of Darchinyan fights. Even rate him top of the 112 & top 15 P4P.
I've seen only about 3 fights of Nonito in youtube. But I met the guy & his Brother Glen personally twice at a Party & we talk a lot about Boxing. He said he beat Jason Litzau in the Amateur. Also they thought that they we're robbed by the Judges when he fought Viloria in the Olympic trials. He is supposed to be lined up against Arce but Arce lost to mijares. That's why I'm not surprised when I heard he got This title shot.
Based on my observation Donaire is very skillfull, quick with his hands & feet, has some Power, full of confidence, very smart, in short he's the Filipino version of PBF. Personality wise this guy are way different than his Brother Glen who is the Shy or low key guy. Nonito, in the Parties that we've been in, is the light of the dancefloor. He dances all night long proves he has an endless stamina. Good dancer too means he has good Hand, eye & feet coordination.
The only question is... can he handle Vic's Power?? I ask his cornermen if he has a good chin, they say he was woobled once but recovered & KO the opponent shortly.
I've seen replay of the dachinyan-Pacheco fight, in this fight Pacheco was outboxing Vic, Then the fireworks interrupt the fight, Vic recovered & KOed Pacheco shortly. Pacheco is one of the tallest fighter Vic has fought.
The reason I smell upset is because Nonito is a Legit 5'6" & a half. he's quicker & he can move. Vic will have a hardtime finding him. Nonito has a lethal left hook & I see them landing everytime Vic tries to attack. I don't think Darchinyan can be KOed, but I see Donaire outboxing him in a lopsided fashion. Kinda like what Mijares did to ARce.Last edited by Pacdbest; 04-24-2009, 01:50 PM.Comment

The fight with Montiel not going through hurt him. Martinez is a good fighter, and a fine prospect, but isn't a huge name. Had he beaten someone like Montiel to confirm his status coming off beating Darchinyan, then he might be top 20 right now.
Right now he just has 1 high profile win, he really needs a second to validate it.Comment

Posts: 3,676 Pacdbest's Deserving current Top 10 P4P!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Pac- Fought everybody, ducks no one.
2. Cotto- Destroys his opponent
3. Pavlik- Beat the guy who beat Bhop easily
4. Calzaghe- Props for outslapping Bhop
5. JMM - For losing a Close fight with Pac
6. Bhop- for staying close & almost beat Joe
7. Vasquez -for keep on beating Rafa
8. Nonito Donaire- the Most feared fighter from 112-115(anybody calling him???)
9. Rafa- for keeping it close with Vasquez
10. Haye- he deserves to be mentioned
PBF is out of the ratings, Boxing(Cotto & Margarito) retires him. If he unretires & Beat Cotto & Margarito he'll be back at #1.
Hatton is out of top 10, coz he's unwilling to fight top opposition. Lazcano & Mallignaggi won't make him to top 10. He needs to fight Witter or Pac.
Winky- is officially retired.
Future P4Pounders- LInares, Gamboa & AJ Banal.
Did I missed anybody???Comment

Oh, I think that he might be. I have seen him in action like 5 times and all 5 fights have been complete blowouts; including the Darchinyan fight. I think Darchinyan is one of the best and toughest boxers out there but I can't see him beating Donaire ever.
Donaire is slick, fast, and precise with incredible timing. He seems to have so much more energy than anyone that he is against. It will take a crooked decision for him to lose or some drugs cause he straight rips s*it up.Comment
