Comments Thread For: Nonito Donaire Gets Green Light For NABF Title Bout

[Dr Rumack]

I don't get why Nonito gets so much hate. The dude fight as many top guys as he can and when he loses they get on his case.

Not a clue. He didn't have to fight Walters or Rigo but he did.


We have guys like Leo Santa Chicana who haven't fought a soul and they are praised by a certain "fan base" on here

I echo these sentiments. Rigo could easily have been avoided and Donaire fought him. The same goes for Walters. He fought Rigo just over a year after moving to the SBW division, and people call that a duck. Idiots.

I thought Rigo was a mandatory due to the 'regular-super' belts? Or am I getting my commission belts mixed up?

But I think this current minor title fight is bogus, only for the fact that Nonito can choose who his opponent is going to be.

Why not?

Why not?

Why did he? He could've pulled a LSC at the time. He could've said "I'm 2012 fighter of the year" blah blah blah. Arum didn't even want him to fight Rigo, and for good reason.

I am a huge Rigo fan but Donaire did want to fight Rigo. I don't see anyone else stepping up to the plate to fight him.


Not sure why everyone hates Donaire for fighting the tough guys in his division. I picked Rigo to beat Donaire with my brother and his friend, they said I was crazy and Donaire would knock him out.

He could've but it would've been a clear duck. He had to fight him, You say he didn't have to fight him yet you criticize LSC for doing exactly that. Donaire moved up to fight for a title, he HAD to fight Walters because that was the champion with Top Rank .

I don't get the Donaire hate either but he had to take those fights.

He demanded them, he didn't have to take them.

His career at the top is clearly over, but he shouldn't be getting any hate. The guy's had a good career and has fought very competitive opposition.

My point still stands, had he not taken at least the Rigo fight it would have been a duck move. So he HAD to take it, he was repeatedly asked about that fight.

So I still don't understand why you say he didn't have to take it.

How many times has Floyd been asked about the Pac fight? In no way did he have to take it.
