    Great year for Filipinos. Pacquiao and Donaire, despite both being passed their best years, turned back the clock and gave a performance of a lifetime.

    If it took you this long to see, then you're a fool!

    Donaire is a legend.

    Prime Donaire vs Inoue would be one of the best BW matches of all time.

    Not at all he's been one of my favourites for years and every now n then I bring up a topic to sing his praises.. Just thought that performance was worth a thread to remind everyone

    I'm not talking about anyone specific. They'll know if it applies to them.

    Of course, a top 10 fighter of the era no doubt. Don't know why Donaire never got the love or respect he deserved. I said awhile back prime for prime he would have destroyed Chocolatito Gonzalez and was laughed off the forum.
