Once donaire stopped fighting midgets he got exposed for what he really was a bum. Totally different when you are fighting guys your own size.

He can still KO the Sta Cruz, Frampton and Quigg and with the right training he has a chance against Rigo.
His power is still there in featherweight, he knock down Vetyeka and almost knock down Walters too in round 2. He will beat smaller featherweight but basically no chance against Loma.Comment

Rigo ruined him. Donaire became gun shy after his fight with Rigo. He also stop using his fundamental skills, and relied on his left hook.Comment

Donaire can still be a great fighter but he needs to stop trying to load up on one big shot. His oppoont can see it from a mile. He needs to throw more and be more busy but set it up and mix it up. Donaire can be a great fighter with the right trainer. I said great, not no hall of famer or anything.Comment

Thats the thing. Many fighters, like Floyd too, look great because they fight Mexican fighters mostly.
Mexican fighters have no skill. They hit to get hit, so they are always there to get hit cleanly. And Donaire took advantage with his hook, hitting people as they came in.
Well, you get some good non Mexicans and they make you look bad.Comment

Give me a break if that's the case Walters is doing the exact same thing now and is fighting midgets. His biggest wins are against donaire and Vic which he had a 10 pound weight advantage against. Donaire is fighting bigger guys.Comment

He lost the fire and he's become punch wary. In the Darchinyan fight and Walters fight you could tell he was afraid of getting hit. I don't feel as if he's throwing with bad intentions anymore.Comment
