Comments Thread For: Undeniable Donaire: BoxingScene’s Pound for Pound Top 10

[LeadUppercut]

Filipino-born Southern Californian Nonito Donaire had been a somewhat polarizing figure on the boxing landscape. The talent was obvious. There were some questions to be had about just how strong the resume was, how much his talent had been proven.

That list proves that " P4P " should not be taken too seriously.

I got Donaire as #4.

The highest ranking Martinez has ever had in any of the credible P4P rankings was #3. And Donaire was ranked #5 before he fought Montiel.

Montiel and Darchinyan both have better resumes than Pavlik or Williams. It's hard to see how anyone can justify Martinez above Donaire at this point. And Mayweather has effectively retired again, at least for the time being, maybe forever, no one knows, but he is certainly not an active fighter, so it's hard to even justify his #3 slot, never mind #1.

After one year of inactivity due to anything other than a boxing related injury, a fighter will be removed from the P4P list. So, unless Floyd Jr settles his legal battles and signs to fight someone before May 1st, you can expect him to disappear from the P4P rankings. That's just the way it goes. And, as it sits, I don't have a big problem with this list except I think Mayweather should be #2, Sergio Martinez #3 and Nonito Donaire #4. Now if Nonito beats Moreno, Mares vs. Agbeko winner and/or WV2 in impressive fashion (which I think he can beat all of them), then I think he will move up, especially if Floyd Jr gets taken out due to inactivity and also if Sergio starts to taper off somewhat (he is getting up there in age)...

i dont have a problem with donaire as high up as #2...my eyes really like what they see with Donaire and i think he is such a well rounded and balanced athlete who is just making top top fighters in front of him look ordinary. thats special.

DAMN..Cliff put him at # 2




BTW- although he trains with Garcia in Oxnard, he's not from SoCal...he's a NorCal cat

Lol Bradley's at 7. And under the five fighters who could be here shortly, Paul Williams is listed. They're good fighters and respect to them, but someone seriously needs to do their homework.

Yeah, just one of those things where you say right and mean left. I put an e-mail in to the powers that be to change it.

Quite a quantum leap, eh?

From out of the blues and into the # 2, good work cliff.

[iceman1]

that ranking of donaire @ no2 is a joke

Never mind, nobody cares about your list anyway...
