    Just saw an article over at the scene where Donaire is going to either fight Nicholas Walters or Evgeny Gradovich next for their world titles in April or May. Both are hard fighters but I believe that Donaire will KO both of them.

    Donaire has one of the best chins in boxing and has never been even dropped. Donaire will knock out Walters and Gradovich if they fight.

    Donaire close UD over Gradovich
    Donaire KO or slightly wider UD over Walters

    I don't know. Donaire looked pretty bad against a 38 year old Darchinyan all the way up at Feather, a bigger deal for him than Donaire...

    Gradovich might be the kind of guy strong enough to actually do some damage with Donaire while also relatively stationary.

    Bottom line, Donaire loses to both more than likely if shows up like he did against Vic.

    Isn't Gradovich and Donaire both trained by Robert Garcia?

    I don't know, Donaire hasn't looed like the p4p fighter he once was. Even before the Rigo fight, starting back against Mathebula he was over relying on his power and less boxing.

    Both Walters and Gradovich would be the biggest guys he's been in with, and the hardest hitting. He seems to be slowing enough and his motivation seems to have faded enough, personally I would expect either guy to go even with him and wouldn't be at all surprised either one beats him.

    Donaire should fight Walters next. Seems like an easier fight for him. He still needs some confidence.

    Guess that's the question isn't it? FWIW I got El Ruso being the tougher fight anyway, so I'm guessing Walters is the one that'd get made - easier fight without the trainer conflict.
