Donaire is one of the biggest jokes in boxing.

    I've been in the same boat as a lot of people when it comes to Donaire's career since knocking Darchinyan out. However, Sidorenko is a good fighter and a step up for Donaire.

      Thats B.S.

      He had a chance to enter a legit compettive tourney with the best fighters from 118 (minus Moreno and Hasegawa).

      And he declined.

        Thats fine and dandy. But dont claim you can't get fights then back out a Bantam tourney.

          Yea, but he just got to 118. So he is fighting a solid fighter

          However, if it was true that guys at 112 or 115 didn't want to fight him. Then do they P-Will route and go up in weight until you find some names. He should of moved up to 118 years ago if that was the case. And, he ballons up 140 in between fights. So he should of been handling 118 years ago. There are plenty of top name fighters at 118 that would of fought him if he would of made his move up years ago. Hell there is 118 elite fighters. That would fight him now with no problem.

              Honestly man I think it's his management team. Now I'm not a hater like No Ceilings, my thing is I see the potential and I truly believe he can be an ATG if he starts to manage his career better.

              With that said....Moreno has went on the road for two of his titles, Germany of all places, so that is one fighter that will not duck Nonito if the fight was offered.

              Perez just fought Mares for 50k and is the type of fighter that will go anywhere and fight anyone....regardless of the split. That is another fight that could easily be made.

              I mean I can go on....but I will say this; While he may not have been able to get fights with those top Japanese fighters such as the Kameda, Naito etc....there are a bunch of guys that he could face, fights that would be easy to make, that would greatly enhance his legacy.

              Not only that but lets say he knocks off Perez and Moreno....that would give him 2 major belts and he could then go for the bigger names. I'm sorry bro but 118 is littered with guys he could face but fortunately for him he is still young and has time to take advantage.

                Thats a fight that gets my hyped as well.

                But given Arum's track record recently (Lopez vs. Gambaoa?).

                Do you honestly think it's going to happen? Anytime soon.

                  The hell are you talking about? When did I say he cant fight? Im talking about his resume.

                  What do you mean unlike No Ceilings Im not a hater and can see the potential?

                  Since when did I say Donaire is a bum with no talent or skills?

                    donaire is a badass, but he's a victim of HORRIFIC management and promotion. probably one of the worst promoted fighters in the top 50 boxers in the world. arum doesn't give a *** about him
