    I hope he does go through the divisions and really becomes a star. Hopefully he maintains the discipline as he is now a millionaire I believe. I have watched Lomachenko for a while now so it will be good to watch a fighter from start to finish as I've never done that before.

    Have any of you guys followed a guy for years as an amateur and then watched them become a multiple weight champ? Or multiple belt holder.

    God no. Donaire can get up on his toes and bounce around but its all for show anytime he wants to throw a meaningful power shot he has to completely plant his feet and be stationary. More importantly he's a natural counter puncher who has no idea how to pressure, fight on the front foot or create openings if his opponent isn't giving them to him, stark contrast to Lomachenko who also has a much better defense. Vasyl could fight Rigo tomorrow and it would be much more competitve than the Donaire fight. That said he shouldn't fight Rigo until he has a few more fights and finishes adj.usting to the pros.

    That would be a crazy achievement but I don't think they should rush him and put him in with Garcia just yet. I would love to see it as I don't think it would damage his stock any. He doesn't want to waste his time padding his record and isn't afraid to lose which is great.

    I would like to see him in with Juanma Lopez next.
