People seems to forget how good was Donaire.

In 2012 was p4p best fighter in the world only besides Manny and Floyd, he made 4 defenses of his title that year with two knockouts and was an elite fighter.
Why he is so forgotten?.

P.D
Also beat James Kirkland as an amateur

Because there are only about 500k boxing fans in the world. The rest are casuals who only watch HBO now.

2013 he fought twice in the US and in both fights he looked bad in. He looked bad against losing to Rigo and he didn't look good against Vic Darchinyan. It was my opinion then as it is now that Vic was chosen as a come back fight for Nonito to salvage his reputation, but Vic was making Nonito look bad and was winning on all three cards until Nonito hit that home run on Vic.

2014 he won the belt off Vetyeka in a very lousy fashion, suffering an accidental cut from a headbutt then fighting for 4 rounds to ensure that he was within the legal ruling of a technical decision, and snatched the belt due to the cut. He promised Vetyeka a rematch and never followed up on it. After that fight he fought Walters and was knocked out.

2015 and 2016 unless you are a hardcore Nonito fan, Nonito has largely dropped off the map. His last four fights have been in the Pacific and I'm not sure if any major network picked them up. With all that's happened in the last 2 years I guess its easy to forget about Nonito.

Excellent fighter! Loved what he did to VIC, respect his nuts to take on Loma and Walters.

At 122 that year Donaire fought a solid contender in Mathebual, he fought a mediocre guy in Vazquez jr, and then fought two old men.

While at 118, he avoided the best five guys in the division to fight two midgets, in Sydorenko, and Montiel. He then ran from the weight class, without having fought Mares, Perez, Agbeko, or Moreno.

He then finally answers the challenge of 5'3 Guillermo "El Dedor de La Cabaza" Rigondeaux and is given beautiful boxing, and a pumpkin face.

I watched Donaire have a war with some scrub a few fights ago. It was entertaining. Donaire seems a bit lazy, with the pudge he still brings into the ring, he should still be at 118.
