    In 2012 was p4p best fighter in the world only besides Manny and Floyd, he made 4 defenses of his title that year with two knockouts and was an elite fighter.
    Why he is so forgotten?.

    P.D
    Also beat James Kirkland as an amateur :bbb[FONT=&quot][/FONT]

    Right cus other guys besides Pac and Mayweather don't cut weight right?

    By that Logic Brandon Rios should be the GOAT and Gatti right behind him.

    I agree. Criminally underrated fighter and would have wrecked Gonzalez in his prime.

    Donaire was awesome before he started to decline. He had the athleticism and explosive power. If only he'd honed his boxing skilled more for when his natural abilities started to fade. Left hook was a thing of beauty.

    I guess people forget he was the #1 ranked champ with a few defenses... at FLYWEIGHT! In 2007!

    He popped on my radar for the Darchynian massive KO and upset and revenge for his brother who isnt discussed

    I thought around the time he was really hyped I was on here begging for the Rigo fight and how he was fighting lesser guys than Rigo but still good names

    then the Rigo fight happened

    to his credit he lost pretty much every round but still got Rigo down

    he used to box very well before he started relying on his power far too much

    Yep. Also, he fell in love with his power. You could see it even before those fights.
