Donaire More Gifted Than Floyd?

[MidBoss]

If Donaire eventually cleans up 126(where he'll really need those skills against some bigger fighters)...

I'll think about it..

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.

Herndanez was past his best, Castillo was in good form, but Floyd's performances against Castillo were not great.

Darchinyan and Montiel are in a higher class than those two in my opinion.

Donaire show great awarness, exceptional learner in a fight. When watching a fight I can see what a fighter does wrong and what he needs to do. Donaire can work that out before I can whilst fighting.

You see him throw feints, does it a couple of times, learns what his opponent does then ****, counters their move.

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

Nothing compared to Donaire's though.

Donaire is on his 3rd weight class at the moment.

126 for Donaire is like 147lbs for Floyd, and Floyd has not cleaned up ther, not even done some light dusting.

Well he's went up like 6 pounds.... I mean that's a little different then 17, and as far as 24.

Career HL,



I'd say no.

at 4 min mark - i was there ringside in SF for that jesus chaves fight. you would have NEVER guessed that pacquiao, who fought on the undercard would turn into the world beater that he did from his performance that night.

Floyd is the greatest of this generation! People tend to forget that in the lower weight classes floyd was a huge puncher. So i'd say donaire aint more powerful then floyd in the lower weight classes there punch power was comparable.

Skills wise, floyd is ahead by a long way.

what separates them the most is floyd's incredible defense. it's all in the hips, son.

Have you seen the state of the fighters after then get hit by a monter punch from Donaire?

Floyd gets his KOs from cumulative punching.

Nowhere near Donaire's class at punch power even at the lower weight classes.
