Nonito Donaire Has a Vision of The Future

[Squabbles94806]

Great for Nonito. Hope you continue your dream. A great guy and gracious one who publicly thanks Pacquiao for opening the road for Filipino fighters.

That's what i'm sayin. I think Filipinos will be taken a little bit more seriously in the boxing game now thanks to Donaire, Elorde, Pacquiao and other greats that never have quite made it to the main stage. If you check out Ring Magazine, there's a handful of Filipino fighters who are Top 10 ranked fighters in the world. Amazingly enough, they all come from the mother land. I haven't seen a Filipino boxer from the states yet. "American born" as they call it. I guess Donaire was born in the P.I., but moved here at an early stage.

I think that filipinos are a rarity which adds another genre of culture into the boxing game. Certain Europeans are beginning to take notice, a lot of island Latinos are doing good (Cuba, Puerto Rico, Latin America) and now Filipinos are another group to join the circle.

I think that's why boxing is so great, because it involves all races, cultures, ethnicities, and countries. Boxing just doesn't pertain to one group of people such as: "black", "white", "mexicans" etc.

lol, if you say so. But so you know, Hozumi is the one stoppin dudes with winning gloves on, doing it in convincing fashion within two or three rounds.

Nonito is good. I think his power might do something to Hozumi buuuuuuuuuuuuut Hozumi has literally been destroying the division. Not just random dudes but the #1 wbc ranked opponents repeatedly. Dudes who have never been stopped, getting stopped and not just getting stopped, getting stopped in the 1st round by winning gloves.

stopping dudes? yea like tomato cans. name me a known fighter or a p4p fighter that he beat? you're saying nonito would not destroy the same guys hasegawa has been fighting? dont get me wrong dude, i like hasegawa a lot but to say that he beats nonito with the current situation is reaching

any good fighter can beat tomato cans.... beat another good boxer and that makes you great in my books


not saying hasegawa does not stand a chance... he just needs to show us more, is all

Nonito is overrated.

I have a vison of him as well. After he his next loss all his filipino followers will abandon him. He will be humiliated and exposed as a fraud who is still making a living off his upset over vic darchinyan.

Buster Douglas would still be champ if he was spoonfed stiffs like Nonito.

Nuff Said.

Right.... The Ring has him #7 on the P4P list. So you're saying you have more credibility than that Ring panel with who knows how many years of combined experience covering the sport. Maybe they should bring you on board with gems of insight like that.

Watching him fight after fight he has won me over. Don't know if you been following him and looked at his opponents. Vic was the most rated but the other guys were contenders. I'm been a boxing fan for a very long time and this guy has the stuff regardless of what nation he is from

I will give japanese fighters props when they actually come out of japan and fight a real contender. None of the Japanese champions in the 112lb division wanted a piece of Donaire. Donaire and his camp wanted to unify all the belts at 112lb last yr, but none of the Japanese champions step up. I'm sure if Donaire moves up in Hasegawa's division, he would likely be willing to fight Hasegawa.

I agree. Pity really because Donaire said that he would go to Japan and face Naito for the Ring Title, but wouldn't face Wonjongkam in Thailand in case it went to a decision as he claims he wouldn't get one.

im gonna have to agree with glennster on this one why would he be rated so high...he's only lost once and that was early in his career he knocked vic the **** out and has defended his title three different times all by KO and each time has gotten the KO sooner...and now hes moving up in weight to prove himself even further so im going to have to go with the fact that youre an idiot...nuff said

[Elotero]

Maybe they should. The Ring is a farce of itself now anyway. Someone must be in the pocket if Nonito is in the P4P list thats for sure. What a joke..

Undeserving rank for a guy who fought 3 bums after Vic and now hes fighting a guy Arce hammered last year.

That sounds exactly like someone who is being over-rated.

Nonito is a good fighter but not destined for greatness. Averageness maybe. Not greatness.

Sarcasm aside, I think the fight between him and Torito is going to be good.

[Iceta]

This PPV that Nonito is fighting on is about $24.95 isn't it? Someone fill me in. I would laugh my ass off if Darchinyan came asking Donaire for a rematch.

So tomato cans are guys who are ranked #1 in the WBC? gtfo really.

I know you like Donaire but dont get illogical. I think Donaire would be a big challange but I like Hozumi more, so naturally I am going to go for Hozumi. To say Hozumi is fighting tomato cans, Donaire's only big name is Darchinyan who was made for Donaire's style anyways. Whom has recently loss to probably the weakest bantam champ. So you can't really say much to that.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. Donaire is good but Hozumi is obviously the man at Bantam, obviously the bigger guy because of it, is equally fast, and equally accurate if not then more(I would roll with equal). And has shown to take punishment and still win.
