Comments Thread For: Merchant Wonders if Donaire Can Be Effective Moving Up

[.:: JSFD26 ::.]

I have no comment. It seems fishy but Pirog still the best boxer at 160.

Yea the best boxer in his weight division @ ducking.

Man! stop with Rigodeaux bull crap. Learn the business of Boxing. That's too much risk and too little reward for Donaire. Also, Rigodeaux needs to pay his dues and start building up his resume, instead of pan handling for big fights. freaking broke ass cuban.

He mad. Btw Ishida made Pirog look avg, simple, like nothing special. So yea, far from the best.

not sure if serious?

Get crack by who? Donaire kills anyone from 122 - 135.

You cant be serious, I mean did you see Donaire's face after the Vasquez fight? Vasquez aint even a top 5 fighter at 122, and he busted Nonitos face up with a SIMPLE JAB. Donaire gets murdered at 126. Gonzalez, Salido, Lopez, Chris John, and Mikey Garcia would all have Nonito crawling back to 122 on his hands and knees.

yah donaire seems to have a soft face like cotto...but to be fair vazquez jr isn't a feather fisted fighter at all (21 wins 18 by ko). aside from his face getting busted up easily he can take a punch pretty well...hasn't been knocked down or stopped and he's fought some hard punchers.

True. I like Donaire, I just laugh at people assuming he can beat any body from 135 on down. I hope he fights the other champions before he moves up though, thats if he wins tommorow of course.

nahhhhhhhh

IMO Donaire is really good but if or when he fights Rigo or Mares that to me would be the true test cause those guys are can take a punch and dish them out. He gets past those guys in spectacular fashion then maybe he can move up if he squeaks by those guys he better get some Pac juice.

Donaire can an will be effective as he moves up and soon will dominate the Heavyweight division as long as he works with Victor Balco Conte who will mask out all the PED's given to Donaire..

[kiaba360]

I don't think Donaire will be effective past 126.

[Hougigo]

Hmmmm, I don't think Donaire KO's Mathebula.
I think he'll win a decision, but he's not KOing him.
