    Donaire vs Rigondeaux
    Donaire vs Mares

    Donaire moves up to featherweight:
    Donaire vs Ponce De Leon (Tune up)
    Donaire vs Gamboa
    Maybe Donaire vs Salido

    If he pulls through all of this, he is a top ATG for me.

    What do you think it will take for Donaire to be a top ATG? Can he beat Gamboa or Salido?

    No whiny estrogen-fuelled haters please.

    HOF but not ATG. It depends on how Gamboas career wil go if Donaire ever faces him. It's less likely he'll be an ATG.

    It'll be difficult coz to be an ATG you have to beat an ATG as well. but since there's are no active ATGs within his weight class.. He has to beat Mares, Salido, Rigo, Deleon, Gamboa.. while winning titles at 126 and 130.

    It's definitely possible. He is young, talented and highly skilled. Based on this years accomplishments there's no one who has done more. I hope he is recognized as fighter of the year, he deserves it.

    Nonito us also a 4 division champion. That's more than enough to get him into the Hall. ATG status is a hard feat, but Nonito is well on hid way.

    I font think Ham's career has any affect on Nonito's career. Unless they end up facing one another. At this point Nonito is head and shoulders above Gamboa in terms of ring accomplishments. Nonito is a 4 division champ. What is less likely is Nonito going the Pac Man route in moving up 6, 7 or 8 divisions. But he could still end up an ATG without Gamboa.
