Comments Thread For: Nonito Donaire, 42, confirms plans to return

[Drigo]

I am a Filipino but for me, somebody should KO and make aure this guy goes to ICU period...

I hope he doesn't. Although his style is much more conducive to aging well, there's gotta be a limit. He better stay far away from Junto and Bam.

Please dont do it, no need to embarrass yourself, Donaire.

It must be his bitchy wife pressuring him for money, that woman has goldigger all written over hear and Nonito is as *****whipped as they come

I've always been a fan of Donaire the fighter and the person , it looks like he's not going to be wise and will have to learn the hard way about Father Time...like the vast majority of humanity. I wish him luck though.

This is so sad. At age 42, Nonito Donaire has had a great career but now it’s time for him to hang up the gloves for good. He is too old and runs the risk of getting himself permanently damaged.

Alright
The "Monster" may have found a replacement

As a famous philosopher once said "I pity the fool".

This is a horrible idea. To me he may not, quite, be an ATG because he picked up titles against quite weak opposition & was totally outclassed by Guillermo, but he is an amazing fighter, nailed on HoF. He could get badly hurt pursuing a come back.

Agree and Nicholas Walters as well.. but he is so humble and likeable. I just don't want to see this guy have long term damage so I don't one why or what his drive is here... if he's looking for a easy path to an easy opponent, that won't serve him well.

It's too bad he never got a major belt at 115. There have only been five guys to win belts in five divisions (Hearns [and that includes a pre-recognition WBO 168 belt], Leonard, De La Hoya, Mayweather Jr., and Pacquiao). Nonito got an interim strap but not a full one. Would've been cool to add his name to that list.

Seems like Crawford and Inoue are the next most likely guys to attempt the feat.
