Sorry but I dislike Nonito Donaire

[victorythagr8]

Seriously you do not understand what youre seeing, Boxers like Pac comes all the time, Volume punching but a technically gifted boxer like Nonito is rare, Not *****ing on Pac or anything but i see his style more than i see Nonitos.

show me an athletic gifted fighter who carry his power from 106 too 147. While pacquaio fought 3 technically gifted fighter who punches in volume in Morrales, Barrera and JMM.

I like both donaire and pacquaio but please don't act like pacquaio is not an once of an era gifted boxer. The only fighter right now that is as gifted as pacquaio is floyd mayweather.

I like Pac and Donaire, but disagree with the fans who think Donaire has more talent than Pacquiao? To me this is one of the more baffling sentiments in all of boxing. Anyone thinking Donaire is as special as Pacquiao doesn't understand what they are seeing.

I cant speak for other posters but I never said he has more "talent" or as "special". I was commenting on their boxing fundamentals and technique. Nonaire is as textbook as you can get, and as a fan of the sweet science it's great to watch. I agree that Manny is the best boxer on the planet right now. But from a technique standpoint. Nonito is in rare-afied PBF territory, they are damn near perfect in how they box.

I've never seen anyone fight like pacquiao before. Not the way he does it.

show me an athletic gifted fighter who carry his power from 106 too 147. While pacquaio fought 3 technically gifted fighter who punches in volume in Morrales, Barrera and JMM.

I like both donaire and pacquaio but please don't act like pacquaio is not an once of an era gifted boxer. The only fighter right now that is as gifted as pacquaio is floyd mayweather.

these are very true, PAC is special and we wont be seeing someone like him soon and we can say that as well for mayweather ...

but IMHO Nonito has the potential to be a hybrid PAC/Mayweather type, lets see in 5 years what he ca do...

There is no one doing what Pacquiao is doing Period. He's not regular volume punching aggression. The guy is averaging a ridiculous number of power punches per round, start to finish. He's regularly throwing 4+ punch combinations with speed, power and accuracy. Not just flashy attempts to steal a round or displays of speed. He's also got the footwork/footspeed to get in and get out before his opponents can get off. Does he use a classic arsenal of punches? Not always, because his high talent level allows him to create punches as he needs them to exploit openings as they become available. He's an offensive storm that pretty much combines all the best aggression characteristics of his peers and combines them into a single fighter. Is Donaire extremely gifted? Yes, and he will continue to improve.. However, Pacquiao is a bonafide once in a generation talent.

No I understand that. There are however a good # of posters who hold the belief Donaire also has more raw talent/ability. That I disagree with, although Donaire is also insanely gifted as well(in addition to very strong fundamentals/technique).

you guys are overly defensive of pacquiao. read ray's post objectively without pac's nuts over your eyes. you'll find that he's correct. stylistically, there's nothing special about pacquiao's style, it's the way he applies it that makes him special. we get it.

Donaire is cool as ***... He was in a rush to get to his hotel after the weigh in on fri and I stoped him for some pics. He took some pics and showed some love to his fans...
