    Thanks to another poster from a different forum for posting this and I wanted to share this.
    It's too much work to look up all the ranked contenders he fought so I'll just list the current, former, and future champs he fought:
    W vs Vic Darchinyan TKO 5
    W vs Moruti Mthalane TKO 6
    W vs Manuel Vargas KO 3
    W vs Hernan Marquez TKO 8
    W vs Volodymyr Sydorenko KO 4
    W vs Fernando Montiel TKO 2
    W vs Omar Narvaez UD 12
    W vs Wilfredo Vazquez Jr SD 12
    W vs Jeffrey Mathebula UD 12
    W vs Toshiaki Nishioka TKO 9
    W vs Jorge Arce KO 3
    L vs Guillermo Rigondeaux UD 12
    W vs Vic Darchinyan TKO 9
    W vs Simpiwe Vetyeka TD 5
    L vs Nicolas Walters TKO 6
    L vs Jesse Magdaleno UD 12
    L vs Carl Frampton UD 12
    W vs Ryan Burnett RTD 4
    L vs Naoya Inoue UD 12
    W vs Nordine Oubaali KO 4
    W vs Reymart Gaballo KO 4

    16-5 record, 12 KO, 1 stoppage loss against world titlists (only counted full titlists of the WBA, WBO, WBC, IBF, and Ring or lineal champs; no Regular, Interim, IBO, Gold, Diamond, or other nonsense belts)

    Titles won
    112: IBF/IBO
    115: WBA interim
    118: WBC/WBO, WBA, WBC
    122: WBO/IBF/Ring/Lineal, WBO
    126: WBA

    4-division champion and an interim belt, 7 world title reigns, 2 unified reigns, 10 major belts won, 1 minor belt, 1 interim belt, 1 lineal title.

    That's what a real champion's resume looks like. Anybody, anytime, anywhere, any weight. Has not ducked any challenges, no catchweights, willing to do year round random testing at his own expense, and still maintains a winners mentality. Win or lose Nonito Donaire goes to WAR. He’s a Hall of Fame fighter and an ATG.

    It's about time he gets his credit from casual boxing fans.

    at the age of 39 he is still top and trying his best to become undisputed.

    Let's hope he can make that fight with Casimero next(if Casimero can make a weight)

    Inoue should fight Rigo next if Donaire is not available

    I ****in love Donaire..apart from the fact he's basically a top up of my wage when he fights cos you always get daft odds on him to win by ko ..he does 365 testing and fights everyone and their mum....I'll miss him when he's gone.

    Oh and his left hook makes me moist

    He's one of the only fighters who walks the walk for me...lots of people say they'll fight anyone...he'll actually do it.....

    head to head nightmare for pretty much anyone in history in the lower weights...can't think of many all time below Bantam I'd pick to beat him.

    Went to war with Inoue in the twilight of his career and is still fighting father time knocking out world champs and contenders...saying to the Mrs it's crazy that he's slowed down and he's still fast as fook

    He was once a top 10 P4P as far as I can remember, so yeah he is a real deal.

    Maybe people would find it weird, but I like him better now as a veteran than when he was on peak fame many years ago.

    And the fact that his wife is now in charge as his second makes him even badass. I always respect women who support her men from their back.

    Donaire is criminally underrated one of the very best fighters of his era.

    Rigo? no please no!! I don't ever want to see him anywhere near the ring again. The absolute naked running he would do against Inoue would be sickening.

    Donaire is definitely an ATG. Just never beat the top guys like Rigo and Inoue. I'd like to see him rematch Rigo and knock him out. I doubt Casimero will fight him after the prior drama and cancellation.

    I'm really glad that Donaire's getting the props that he deserves. It's rare to see a fighter that is so willing to go above and beyond and still manage to come back after losing some fights. He's everything that makes boxing great.

    I'd love for Donaire to have a rematch with Rigo at some point. What better way to beat the very guy that popped his bubble and started his career setback. Would be pretty fitting for his resurgence.

    Inoue can cut off the ring

    It would be interesting to see just how he can handle Rigo and there is no better fight for him at that weight if Donaire and Casimero are fighting each other.

    Donaire is a true warrior, one of the best boxers of his generation and he’s still tough. I’ll be sorry to see him retire (when he does) and hope he can continue to cheat Father Time and terrorize opponents with that monster left hook.
