    Simple poll, given the recent developments with certain types of boxing fans. Sometimes we have to go back to school.

    Donaire is not even close to being a Supernatural, to suggest so means that you automatically have to select the 4th option by default.

    Please do so, before I get filled with anxiety.

    Dumb poll. All I want is two guys in there giving all they can give and making a good fight. He doesn't have to be Ray Robinson for me to respect him.

    Gamboa is incredible, anyone with a set of eyes and minor boxing knowledge can see this.

    I find Linares to be a top of the line fighter. Top A type (or more accurately on his way to being a top A fighter). Great timing, great defense, great counter punching ability, great movement, above average hand speed, good footwork, seems like a smart fighter....

    I think he will be a star....

    Robinson, forget it mate, made too many ridiculous mistakes against subpar, primitive era opposition. I tend to prefer the likes of Joe Calzaghe to be thrilled to the highest order as a boxing fan.

    But fans who think that the older era fighters as they stand in the video with no modern training can compete with moderners can go ahead and select option 4 with the likes of 'Black', who truly thinks Nonito Donaire is something special and has been impressed with Linares as if Linares was the 2nd coming of MAB.

    I think you're way off, but I don't hold it against you like I do Black.

    Because, you don't profess that Linares or Donaire are Supernaturals, that's a cardinal sin, should be punishable by death.

    Linares looks more flawed against weak competition, so that's not a draw back for Gamboa, who's only at 7 fights.;)
