Donaire More Gifted Than Floyd?

[The Big Dunn]

I just watched 5 of Nonito's most recent fights and I'm convinced. Donaire has the goods, gifted with speed, skill and a natural instinct that rivals that of Floyd Mayweather.

In your opinion, who is the more gifted fighter?

5 fights is not enough of a sample to make the statement you made IMO. When you look at what a young floyd did to HOF fighters like Genaro and JLC, its really hard to put Nonito there just yet.

JLC, is that Castillo, thats not very impressive.

Hernandez was well past his best too.

Floyd is not as fluid or dynamic or explosive as Donaire.

Floyd is more of a tactical fighter, Donaire far more gifted with natural talents.

Donaire also works out his opponents much quicker than Floyd, you can see how he can adapt in a round, exceptionally fast learner in the ring.

I wish Floyd still moved as much as he used to. I hate to think that it is because he is older, but that's probably the truth.

but he doesnt have to move as much. whether thats by choice or age

Nonito DOnaire is a very talented and gifted fighter. To put him in floyd class, especially using the sample the thread starter did, simply isn''t valid.

That floyd made you conclude two HOF lineal champions who made mutiple successful defenses of their titles were not at their best (Genaro was old bust JLC, wow) when fighting floyd indicates Nonito has not yet reached his level.

donaire is the hardest hitting bantamweight i've ever seen

i'm on the record with that all over the place


but floyd's one of the most talented defensive fighters i've ever seen
his reflexes and timing and vision is superhuman


i'd say they are apples and oranges

[Ben d great]

nope, maybe Donaire can be better than Floyd but not this time yet. he need more to show. hope he wont follow the negative side of Floyd if you what i mean

By the time Floyd was 28 look at what he had done compared to Donaire.

Floyd had power at the lower weights. Very good power.
