    1. He's lost just a tick in speed
    2. His left hook is as lethal as it's ever been
    3. He's still extremely durable (chin ain't cracked)
    4. He's far more patient and intelligent in his attacks (ring maturity was lacking in his prime)
    5. Just when we thought he was done, he's been reeling off highlight reel shizzle after highlight reel shizzle

    The Casimero drama was BS, but there's no doubt that he's on a tear.

    I don't know, but if he has a second use, he pushes Inoue up with him.

    He’s known for his left hook but I’m starting to like his right hand.

    Settle down y'all LOL. Nonito was a bad man but he has not had a noteworthy victory in quite a while.

    He's on a tear and can end fights with his money punch.

    Burnett (broke his hip; RTD)
    Young (KO)
    Inoue (broke Inoue's eye socket)
    Oubaali (KO)
    Gaballo (KO)

    Nonito is special that's for sure: check out his video with Smitty "in this corner" on YouTube. He talks about how he got the Vic darchinian ko and so on and so forth.

    They say a fighter's punch is the last thing to go and Donaire moved down 2 divisions since his failed bid at Feather and is now stopping a veritable list who-the-fack-was-that?.

    Sorry, Not impressed.

    No 39 year old version of a boxer is gonna be better than their prime version. He does still look great though, last night was a really hard body ko

    He's back to fighting at 118 after an unsuccessful trip up in weight. So, he appears better than before but still hasn't beaten the top dogs.

    He is good for that age, but can he handle Inoue again ?

    The casimero fight should have been a done deal. Hopefully it's a doable fight somewhere down the road.

    Floyd and Nonito: What if these two guys fought each other mythologically at a catchweight of 128lbs. Floyd was still the pretty boy at the 130 division, was hungry and had good offense and power. Meanwhile Nonito was just trying to be great moving up to here to chase greatness. That would be his career 1.0. now he is the 2.0 back down at the lighter weights knowing that he can't compete at feather. Who wins this all American showdown? Neo? Or pbfm? This would be Floyd's second (or first at the time) Filipino to fight against . This is no different than cottos team throwing Henry Brussels in there to take the lesson first from the wizard before Cotto did. And he did a heck of a job at it btw (Miguel I mean ).
