No knock on Donaire but his success is mostly attributed to his size

[King Ju-Ju]

i swear i knew this would come up. smfh!

[IronDanHamza]

I've noticed people are also talking like Montiel was an unlegit fight.

He was ranked #1 by The Ring. And was arguablly the best fighter in arguablly the most deep division on boxing today.

It's a great win, no if's, no but's.

We needs combo weight/height/reach classes so the whine factor can be cut down on nsb.

[Mr. Mark]

Don't get me wrong, he's the total package, well balanced, skilled, but being so much bigger than his opposition has greatly contributed to his success. People can't deny that, and don't get offended and say I'm tryin' to bash him because I'm not. I never had a problem with P.Will, Caballero or Margarito facing smaller opponents, so why would I have a problem with Donaire doing it? I like Donaire too.

It's obvious though because we've all seen constant threads of Donaire vs. Juanma or Gamboa, even Max brought this to Donaire's attention; on Donaire possibly moving up to FW, so we all know what people are seeing here. Montiel was still a great win and I'm not discrediting his win at all. Just that some like to deny that Donaire's size hasn't played a role.

1) How many inches taller do you think Ali was over Frazier?

2) Do you believe Fraziers win over Ali was contributed to their size?

Tommy would kick your butt!

i dont understand how a fighter who was a flyweight champ & former superflyweight champ & who came in much lighter than his opponent on fight night can be discredited with picking on smaller opposition. i just dont get it.

Lol I know right.

[straightleft]

Yes, but he's so much naturally bigger than Montiel. Again, this wasn't to discredit Donaire.

Naturally? and what are they? You are known to flip floping your opinion to fit in your certain agenda. If let say what happened was a complete opposite like Donaire was two inch shorter and the one weighing at 134. What you might say flo?

same as how wifebeater's success at 130 lbs was mostly attributed to his size?

[Pullcounter]

Lol I know right.
