What's with all the Donarie Hate?

lot of asian haters on this forum i believe

 

You sound as stupid as those who whine about FLoyd getting hate simply cause he's black.

Donaire comes off like a bit of a douchebag at times, that might turn people off to him. His diva antics during last fight did not help any!

 

Maybe because he's just not that great? Or at least as great as he was made out to be.

He lost to the more aesthetically and technically pleasing boxer in Rigo, yet gets wider exposure, more money etc. I almost feel bad for Rigo. It's almost as if in my head a torch should have been passed to Rigondeaux as he staked his claim in the pound for pound standings, but because boxing is driven by business, it hasn't quite happened the way it should have.

I don't dislike Donaire, he's a very good fighter. but he's going to go into a stage of his career where he carries on fighting B and C level fighters, picking up paper belts in more divisions. I just feel if he goes up against another A level fighter, he'd lose ... Even with a decent stylistic advantage.

Rigo may have been all wrong for him, but he was a 1 trick pony all night long. He had a chance to try and adapt his game and find a way to win, but after a few rounds his confidence went and it was almost like he didn't believe he could win.

Looking at it from a very critical point of view, it's hard to agree with Lampley, Kellerman etc calling him a great fighter if he was so soundly beaten by someone from the same era. Consider Rigondeaux is older and smaller, yet Nonito barely won a round apart from the one he scored a knockdown in.

Maybe I'm being a little harsh, but that's my two cents. I also don't find him that exciting to watch either

 

He didn't seem to confident when he fought Rigondeaux. You call it a run job, whereas most would call it a boxing lesson. Rigo knew exactly how to expose Donaire by getting in and out before he could counter, and making him fight on the front foot. It's not even like it was a Pea Vs Chavez style victory (I'd rather not go into this) it was a country mile wide decision.

 

Donaire should have a rematch with Rigo at 126 and get it over with, that left hook Saturday night was awesome..............

 

Donaire has been receding lately. Looks like Walters might be next.

 

Walters can beat everyone at 126 but i think thats a stylistically bad matchup for him. I see Walters coming in confident and aggressive and getting hit by a no-set up punch. Walters chance lies in boxing.

 

I agree.

He was underrated even during his big exposure at 118 and pre-Rigo 122.

He could retire today and he'd be a HOF'er...

This is a reason...

People judge fighters too often by their behavior.

Only what happens in the ring matters...

1. Donaire's resume is legit. Aside from the 115 interim title, no paper titles to speak of whatsoever for his claim as the 12th fighter to ever win titles in 4 divisions (112, 118, 122, 126). He beat the best guy before he showed up in 3 of those divisions (Darchinyan at 112, Montiel at 118, and Nishioka at 122).

2. Almost every HOF'er or ATG lost to a someone from their era. That sounds like an odd statement, that middle stanza that I have quoted.

3. You are being harsh in the sense that you don't seem to appreciate his impressive resume. I don't know what's not to like about Donaire; a unique boxer with a great left hook that almost always drops his opponents.

...no. No Donaire/Rigondeaux II, please.

I sort of don't like Donaire's odds compared to the usual against Walters, but I really didn't like his odds against Vetyeka either.

 

He's a whiny little *****

The hate doesnt make sense to me.

 

I think a Rigo rematch needs to happen to shut a lot of people up, and i think Donaire would win in a rematch! no one really knew just how good and hard to hit Rigo was going into the Donaire fight, it was clear just how much Donaire underestimated Rigo, he thought he only had to turn up land his left hook and the fight would be over, you could see the way Donaire was clowning Rigo at the weigh in, he was laughing how small Rigo looked, Donaire clearly thought it would be an easy fight as Rigo wouldnt be able to take a left hook from him. In a potential rematch though, Donaire will know just how good Rigo is and how hard to hit he is, so Donaire will have to come with something different and look to box more and set traps to land his left hand, a rematch would be a very competitive fight, i hope it happens at 126.

 

Rigondeaux is just too good for him. Its nearly impossible to set traps because Rigo only attacks when he sees a perfect opening, otherwise he's content doing nothing. Be realistic, Donaire was getting countered like crazy against Darchinian. He's past his best and not fighting at his optimum weight.
