It bugs me that he never won a full world title in the division. Just an interim belt. If he could get back down to 115 and get a strap, he'd be a five division world champion. The only men on that list are Tommy Hearns, Sugar Ray Leonard, Oscar De La Hoya, Floyd Mayweather Jr, and Manny Pacquiao.
Donaire's title history
112: IBF, IBO
115: WBA interim
118: WBC 2X, WBO 2X
122: WBO 2X, IBF, Ring, Lineal
126: WBA (Super)
I know he said he wants to be undisputed at 118, which would also be incredible, but I think being a 5 division world champion would be a perfect feather in his cap. Donaire vs Ioka or Donaire vs Ancajas while Estrada, Chocolatito, Cuadras, and SSR are tied up in the WBC mini tournament.
