    I remember certain people called Donaire a HBO hypejob at the time

    I thought Donaire was the bet ever SBW before he ran into Rigo.

    Gonzo has lots more time left (the meter is technically still running for Donaire as he's yet to retire and still putting W's together but he's effectively done at the elite level) and is close to eclipsing the Flip Flash if he hasn't already.

    Donaire at this stage. Vic at 112, baby face annd marquez at 115,
    Montiel at 118 and then mathlebula and the jap kid at 122. Choco
    beats Cuadras and he's tied. He beats Inoue, which I doubt he could,
    and he's surpassed Nonito.

    Man, your 1st sentence was bang on but then you messed it all
    up with that acenine 2nd sentence. If he even beat Inoue he'd
    be tied, of course he'd also have to have a W over the man he's
    fighting next 1st. Then he'd be ahead. Donaire's 2 best wins are
    against p4p'ers at the time he beat them in Montiel and Darchinyan.
    Donaire's work eclipes even Mayweather's resume to any real aficianado.

    Gonzalez needs to fight and beat his version of Rigo. Donaire lost to Rigo.

    Gonazalez is number 1 P4P. Donaire was only ever top 3.

    This should have been a no contest, Donaire quit. It was a weird ending. Yeah, sure Nonito was cut bad.But Donaire turn away and wanted the fight called off in the 4th round. Vetyeka should of gotten a rematch! Maybe they can still do it again at 126.Feel bad for Vetyeka he was robbed of a win.

    If you yourself believe it isn't even close then why start the thread at all?
    But I believe he's actually pretty close at the moment, and at the verge of surpassing him.

    Sidorenko greater than Kessler? Nope.

    ...and I don't think Dzinziruk, underrated as he is, was the superior technician either.

    Kessler is more famous than either but that doesn't preclude him from being more underrated. People tend just to remember the end of his career which is unfair.

    Mikkel was better than Mads, first of all, never the 2nd best Dane at SMW... nor did he avoid Green...
