Honestly now, has this dude been the same ever since Rigo? I don't care what anybody says, being schooled and dominated in something you've been doing and been lauded as one of the best in for most of your whole life WILL have a profound psychological effect on you.

In yalls opinion, was Nonito always matched with lesser opponents, did he take advantage of and use all his physical gifts over those at his weight class, or did the diploma he received at the Rigo Boxing Academy have a major effect, because no matter how hard he trains, in my opinion, he still looks limited and overly reliant on those famed hooks of his.

This may be true, other than the bolded.

The criticism that Donaire gets is really unfair. To date, he is the only top level fighter to get in the ring with Rigo - the match taking place only over a year after Donaire moved to 122. On top of that, he challenged no.1 ranked Vetyeka at Featherweight (the much smaller man here). The result was a little controversial, but Donaire took the fight. Straight after, he took on the even bigger KO artist in Walters, when he was virtually unknown.

Him losing to Rigo does not diminish the levels of respect we should be giving to him.

Rigo & Waltlters beat the flash out of Donaire! I liked him when he fought little dudes! He should fight the Hawaiian Punch at a catch weight. Then Estrada, or Gonzalez!!!

His fans don't wanna see him get mashed!
