Should Nonito Donaire be the poster boy of boxing?

[Doctor_Tenma]

Í don't know, one thing to admire is that while one may not be content with his opposition at times, he did fight often in 2012, lets hope that repeats itself for this year.

He is on the right track. The only athlete to be tested 24/7. Handles himself respectably inside and outside the ring. And most of all, he kicks @$$.

[Kagami Taiga]

i dont think hes good enough to maintain that spot. let be serious, as hes moved up in weight hes looked much much more vulnerable. i think hes gonna have a hard time being the top fighter in the world. he has excellent offense. but his defense is crap. and as his power decreases, hes gonna feel it against bigger fighters.

This is also true.

Cant complain if hes not one of the biggest names in the sport.... He is the biggest name in the lower weights as far as the states go

And hes starting to get more and more recognition ie commercials ratings so hes alright

[garfios]

canelo is going to get his a$$ kick by Trout and Broner could b that next super star, if he can get pass better competition,

[ROSS CALIFORNIA]

I look around and while he has been given credit (top 10 p4p, the ring), he still isn't getting the credit he truely deserves. Look at the top banner for example.

This is a guy who is fighting 4 times a year against the very best challengers available, but.. he also takes random drug testing 24/7 365.

Is there a better poster boy for boxing than Donaire?

I don't know, but he does deserve respect for that.

My vote goes to Carl Froch.

Entertaining fighter who obviously loves his job and isn't in it simply for the money.

This too..

There was nothing wrong with his 2012 opposition It pissed all over Floyd's, Manny's and Sergio's. The guy fought 4 times in a year against solid opposition. Sometimes I wonder what exactly it takes to make the average NSB 'boxing fan' happy.

Absolutely, the guy is great for the sport, he's a good role model, clean living, busy and exciting to watch.

yes, amen to that.....
