    That's a very interesting fight, Garcia will force Donaire to lead too, I don't know, tough one. Think I'd lean towards Nonito. Fight will never happen though, both are cool and have the same trainer.

      Yeah. That's the part that sucks. I tried to see if they ever sparred, and couldn't find any footage. That's why I asked this question.

          I doubt Donaire's ability to deal with power at 126, at least as far as his face swelling and cutting. He's showing damage from taking few punches against guys at 122. Garcia at the very least has the power to mess Donaire's face up.

            I've always liked Donaire over Gamboa, Salido because those guys can be extremely reckless, Garcia is different though, good defensively and very patient.

              That's why he's one of my favorites. One of the most fundamentally sound technicians in the game.

              Technical power puncher.

                I got Mikey for sure, Mikey has better patience, Boxing skills and Mikey is the naturally bigger fighter. BUT Donaire left hook is very scary.

                  IMO Donaire beats any come-forward fighter apart from Salido (but including Mares and Juanma) below 135. Garcia is a different story, and although I'm not quite sure of Garcia's capacity against a top level mover, Donaire would be in a whole different ball game.

                    I think Garcia and his fans should be more concerned with the opponent in front of him in Juanma.
