    Donaire. I knew Rigo would beat him. Still a good fighter, but not top 3 p4p like many were saying at the time

      Thomas Dulorme. People were touting him as the next big star from PR but I saw absolutely nothing special about him.

        he was a top p4p fighter because of his resume, and the way it compared to others boxing at the time.


        there's a difference between being "hyped" and being limited.

        donaire is limited. when he's not flying around the ring knocking guys out he looks ordinary. he can't carry a round with boxing.

        he had been tearing through weight classes and f#cking some of their best fighters up. he wasn't hyped in the least. he was limited.

            Being beat by another great fighter does not mean some one is over hyped. Donaire is far from overrated

              I'd say he was too limited for the amount of hype he received. He was looking great against brawlers but not so great against boxers. Mathebula and Vazquez both gave him problems before he went to the Guillermo Rigondeaux School Of Boxing.

                Andre Berto. Not sure how anyone could have missed it.

                    So he's top 3 p4p then? I said he's a good fighter. he's just not as good as people were saying. He has work to do.
