Donaire (today) vs. Pacquiao (2001) @ 122?

[SCEN3RY]

it's easy to say Nonito would win because we all just saw him looking like a pure stud the other night...he's polished, moves well, has good power...everyone is enamored with Donaire and rightfully so...he's one of the next stars in the making


however, as raw as PAC was at 122, people tend to forget how ferocious he was back then...this was PAC without the glitz and glamour...the PAC that was still super hungry...this was also a PAC that insane handspeed...for you noobs out there that think he's fast now, try watching his early ****


we dont know how poised Donaire would be against a whirlwind version of PAC...which is what he was at those weights...what if one of those patented PAC straight lefts lands on Donaire? how well does he take that shot?



we really wont know but in customary NSB manner, we have to say PAC loses...he's horrible in these fantasy fights

good post, it's a close match-up for sure.

Woulda been an awesome fight, I got Pac.

PS I love how quickly people on here have jumped on Donaire's nuts. No one was mentioning him before

[Maidana vs Rios]

Donaire would run from Pac just like he ran from Concepcion.

Until Pac caught him and put him to sleep.

Pac had 1-hitter-quitter power at that weight, plus the speed to deliver it.

Donaire wouldn't look like Gulliver next to Pac. Donaire's one punch at a time tactics wouldn't bother Pac just like they didn't bother Concepcion.

Then afterwards Donaire could get on youtube and blame it on the size difference. But, you know, no excuses.

True. And look where it got him?

Knocked out badly twice? Nonito is more complete at this point than Pac was, that's all I'm saying.

At 122? Every fighter Pac went up against was more complete than him. That's why he was labled "one-dimensional". He only had one-dimension at that weight. The Knock Out dimension.

Do you think 122 Montiel is/was better than 122 Pac?

yeah i agree these are the same people who disses the Ring Magazine by putting Donaire in their top ten list

Donaire will have a rough time dealing with Pac at 122

Pac can obliterate you a straight left, Nonito's chin hasn't been tested yet against power punchers

Ok, so Donaire is also a devastating puncher at the weight and has never been hurt or down at the weight OR prior. At this time in Pacs career he had already been knocked out. Look, I'm just loking at facts and going off of probability. Nothing personal to Pacs fans or anything fella's.

Really?? The last I checked, Darchinyan was a power puncher and he didn't phaze Nonito. Try again.
