Donaire would KO Prime prince naseem

[dan_cov]

He'd knock Montiel out, Montiel is way too small!
I think Donaire decisions him with a knockdown or two on the way.

..and Montiel would KO him too

Not Montiel.

Nonito? Maybe. Or maybe gets ktfo.

Nice fantasy fight.

If Kevin Kelly was able to connect, as well as Augie Sanchez (who connected well, if me memory serves,) then Donaire stretches him.

And Donaire doesn't get hit?

Sure he does but to my point, stylistically I'd favor Donaire. The fact that Kevin Kelly was able to put hands on Hamed the way he did tells me Donaire would do the same - Only difference being that Hamed wouldn't be able to get up.

Why? Naz had a tremendous chin - he was never hurt in his career despite going down several times. He was also a harder puncher than Donaire

I dont disagree with any of that. I'll go even farther and say that Naz went down more due to being off balance than actually being touched up. However, he fought with his chin hanging in the air and his hands down. He always pulled straight back with his chin up. He was not a master boxer. He was very unorthodox.

Donaire in his prime was very dynamic and had the hand speed to surprise Naz much the same way Kelly did. Donaire being a really effective counterpuncher I think he would have been able to catch Naz with stuff he wouldn't see and thats what would put him down and out. Maybe not, maybe Naz would catch Donaire first. Maybe it would be a boring fight. We'll never know.

In my opinion Naz more closely resembles Darchiniyan in style to any other of Donaires opponents; admittedly with much more athleticism. But that style lends itself well to Donaires.

I like Donaire, in his prime it would have been a good fight. Hamed would have stopped him IMO

Naz is my favourite fighter of all time so I'm probably being very biased but I think it's a shoot-out with him and Donaire. Could go either way cos neither are defensively responsible.

Lol, please bitches Naz would absolutely manhandle Donaire at his peak lol. I have never seen Naz hurt badly and he generally fought guys bigger than him.

Donaire has a way to go before id say he could beat Hamed. Hamed fought many very good experienced fighters and several champions. Kelly being one of the best and biggest punchers. He didnt seriously hurt Hamed once.
Not sure if Donaire could stop Hamed.
Interesting matchup.
