    Russell would fight someone who isn't a tomato can? I don't believe it.

    Anyways this fight would never happen.

    Nonito = top rank
    Russell = goldenboy

    SBW and FW are in my opinion the best divisions in Boxing right now. Fights involving any combination of Mares, Donaire, Rigo, Nishioka, Gamboa, Russell, and Garcia couldn't help but be awesome.

    Bloody hell. I've always been amongst those that thought Donaire was getting overrated. But now, he's getting criminally underrated. Lol ESB's a funny place.

    I like Donaire and honestly though he would be much better by now than he's look in some recent fights. Russell Jr. looks like the best prospect I have seen in some time. I think he could beat Nonito possibly, if he can stand up to Donaire's left-hook.

    His Chin is the last question about Russell that I need to see answered. Skillwise and physically the guy is without a doubt the best prospect I've seen in years. I see shades of SRL in the way he rips off those fast flurries and slips and counters in the pocket in the midst of wild exchanges.

    what if donaire fights gamboa? good chance of that happening since they are both with top rank. and if he beats gamboa does that mean he doesn't have to fight rigo? i think it'd be similar to when pac passed on raheem to fight and beat erik morales.

    This would be pretty interesting, both have great hand speed..Gary is more poised but Donaire has a lot more experience

    Donaire called Mikey Garcia to talk about this situation... and Mikey just had to say Gary shouldn't be worrying about nonito he has bigger problems at 126 to deal with first...

    Cells is looking for that elusive black fighter to knockout nonito.

    Unfortunately, his fighter last night didn't get the job done.

    Russell s chin and competition has been suspect.
