Nonito "The Filipino Flash" Donaire Is P4P #1 Fighter

Don't believe that was the KO, just the knock down. Oh yeah, here's a quote from Roach. :yep

Roach on Foot Stomp

--In the parlance of the Pacquiao fans, it was the old "foot stomp," Roach said. "When you have a lefty [Pacquiao] fighting a right-hander [Marquez], you have guys stepping on each other's lead foot more than righty-righty or lefty-lefty. We were concerned enough about that happening — because it had happened a lot in their other fights, and even could be used as a strategy by Marquez — to ask the referee to come to our dressing room before the fight so we could warn him to watch for that. But what happened was the opposite, and I didn't see it clearly until later, when I looked at overhead camera shots. Marquez didn't step on Manny's foot. Manny stepped on Marquez's foot. And when Marquez pulled it out, it sent Manny off-balance and forward — right into the perfect right hand. I wasn't ready for that. I had told Manny, when he steps on your foot, don't pull away. But the other way? I didn't see that coming."--

 

I have Ward ahead of Donaire. Period. Ward has thoroughly dominated top notch competition and achieved lineal status. He even dethroned (albeit through draining) the 175lb lineal champ.

Ward and Floyd are definitively ahead of Donaire...for now. I'm okay with any order of #3-5 being JMM/Donaire/Sexy.

 

He could be #1 in the next few years, as long as he gets the fights to put him there.

 

NOPE! even if that happened Donaire would not move to #1.

At the moment hes #5 at best behind Money,JMM,Ward and Martinez. :thumbsup

 

He'd go to 3 imo behind Ward if he beats Rig DECISIVELY

 

Donaire is a very good boxer. But you are deluded if you think he is the best in the world.


He has a long way to go to topple the current people ahead of him.

 

I would only put him at #4 ahead of Martinez at that time.
That's just my opinion. :think

 

If Floyd loses/looks god awful and Donaire wins/looks incredible, I move Donaire up to 2 or 3. He can only get above Ward if Ward loses though. Ward's fighting too flawlessly atm and he's doing it versus some of the best fighters in the world. He's run into a new problem though... nobody left to fight at 68 or even 75. . . .

 

i've been saying this forever and now some noob makes a
thread and it gets over a hundred posts. This site is a joke.

 

While i don't think donaire is #1 i don't have any problem if you were to rank him as high as p4p #2.yes ward is taking out the top fighters at 168 but donaire has won belts over good fighters in what 3 different classes. As far as opponents go I think we should hold these elite guys to the same standards you have people rating ward #1 for dominating SMW but there's nobody there anyone feels can beat him yet People cry for a mayweather to move from his 4th weight class for the same reason. People try to downplay some of donaire wins under the excuse that they were older when currently 7/10 of the top p4p fighters are over 30 right now donaire is a dominate guy in the lower weights and has shown it over a number of divisions there no arguing against that currently JMM/Ward/Martinez/Donaire are all interchangeable for that second slot.
