Nonito Donaire...Hall of Famer???

[i got the keys]

Thoughts?

I lean towards a yes, maybe not first ballot, but definitely worthy...

Elite level fighters he's beat:
-Vic Darchinyan (Potential Hall of Famer)
-Jorge Arce (Potential Hall of Famer)
-Fernando Montiel (Potential Hall of Famer)
-Tyson Marquez
- Volodymyr Sydorenko
-Omar Navaez

And defeated a host of contenders....

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Lmao


Without doubt donaire is a hall of famer

First ballot

Titles at 112,115,118,122,

2012 Foyt

Sensational knockouts of some of the best guys of the era in the lower weights...

[-MAKAVELLI-]

he had a good run...took on fighters noone wanted to like Rigo and Walters


was on p4p lists for a while


he has a solid argument for the Hall

[IronDanHamza]

I'd say yes.

Absolutely enormous and devastating puncher at 118 pounds.

The KO of Fernando Montiel was insane.

[b00g13man]

Definitely imo.

Cool. I was just checking in NSB. I've seen online where some are saying he's borderline...

Sub-122 lb. fighters that make their way onto P4P lists (let alone top 5) and spend years there usually have strong cases for the HOF. From Nonito's KO of, then P4P, Darchinyan to his KO of, then P4P, Montiel, he already has a strong case.

If Chocolatito doesn't win another fight, he already has a strong case for the HOF. Even Rigondeaux and his thin Professional resume has a strong case (especially taking into account him being one of, if not, the greatest amateur fighter of all time).

[Kel1981]

100%, of course.

[NaijaD]

Definitely imo.

I second that, he's faded now and has some recent losses but no way I can forget his run through 112-118. He fought everyone you could have asked him to fight.

[-MAKAVELLI-]

I'd say yes.

Absolutely enormous and devastating puncher at 118 pounds.

The KO of Fernando Montiel was insane.

he hit Fernado so hard, he thought he was riding a bike
