Is Nonito Donaire a has been a never was or still in his prime???

[DoubleMM]

Doniare is a very overated gigher who won a SD against Vazquer JR. Vazquer Jr is as basic a fighter as it gets and Donaire was bustye dup against him. He will not have a very long boxing career because he's not very good and relies on his power and size.

I will tell you what Donaire is. He is the most unfairly hated active pro boxer along with Amir Khan.

unfairly hated? Have you seen this guys interviews and the **** that comes out of his mouth?

didn't actually watch the fight did you?

I'd like to see that Rigondeaux matchup again. Donaire fought a ****** fight. Gotta like Donaire for his aggressiveness.

Hes a never was. A guy who was carefully matched up and hyped up cause of a couple of KOs.

Hes a decent big guy who was carefully matched against mainly smaller and often faded opposition to make him look a monster. Still a very good fighter who for me belongs at 126 and wouldn't even be out of place at 130.

Talk of him being p4p #1 though was just crazy.

To me hes a good fighter just not quite what people thought or what he was being sold to be.

He fought bums in 2012. The fact he got fighter of the year is astounding to me seeing as someone else beat a fighter many call a legend but I call a HypeJob getting knocked out in half a fight, 6 rounds. Donaire is a never was. He is more of an opportunist.

Decent fighter, he was carefully matched against smaller opponents (Sydorenko, Montiel, Marquez, Narvaez) or shot opponents (Nishioka, Arce) and looked good against them. Still a good fighter considering the other boxers in the division.

Unfortunately he managed to avoid Nishioka during his prime and Abner Mares. He also tried to avoid Rigondeaux who eventually dominated him.

Good resume, but still overhyped fighter IMO.

interesting veeery interesting..............

I think he's still in his prime, whoever calls him a never was is just plain ignorant. Many fans in here act like children, according to them one dominating loss means you ain't ****.

Carefully matched up? LMAO he beat the #1 guy in three divisions, how many current fighters have done that? Cotto hasn't done that and some people say he's a future HOFer.

Is Nonito Donaire a "has been" a "never was" or is his best still to come??


wachugot????????

He is still a puncher who has some boxing skill and is dangerous for many opponents. The RIgo fight just exsposed the areas where he was lacking. If TR continues to match him against guys who don't have the skillset to test Nonito he will continue to rack up KO victories and look like a top p4p fighter again.

But it should be clear to everyone he isn't a multi dimensional boxer the caliber of floyd, ward, rigo, JMM, sergio. He can't even do basic things like cutoff the ring.

sooooooo.........has been never was or still is?

[New England]

he's a hall of famer already for sure. we will see what he does from here. i'm not ready to write him off yet. guillermo rigondeaux is one of the four best pure boxers on the planet, along with mayweather, ward, and wladimir klitschko. hopkins is up there too, but he's slipped too much.
