    I think Donaire is overrated (he is good...not great) due to beating another VERY VERY overrated fighter in Vic. Linares on the other hand is a star in the making.

    The Linares and Donaire boosters deserve to be smacked about however KG.

    Throw in a Taylor fan and call it a party.

    I'm a moron and I can't tell the difference in class of fighter without set statistics.

    Donaire is such a flawed product!:nut

    What is the deal with these ****ing fans these days and Nonito Donaire, what do they watch?

    Donaire is worse than Linares by far, Donaire's a disaster in the making, Linares is just a prospective disaster with some good qualities. Disaster meaning huge hype and a big downfall.

    The insane part is the whole being impressed and I mean honestly impressed by flawed product and then immediatley rejecting more complete examples, then everybody wonders why the global political set up is a mess.:lol:

    We can't even get through boxing, Nostradamous had the right idea Sues.

    That's because you and your compatriots here don't know what you're talking about, it's not as bad as Bigtime9 and the Pacmania, but it's equally as effective in driving me up a wall mentally.

    I dont get what you mean by supernatural fighters. Guzman and gamboa both have extensive amateur backgrounds, if you're talking about supernatural then i think of people like edwin valero. People with unbelieveable power without having to work to obtain.

    Linares and donaire both look to be in the same league of guzman and gamboa. Gamboa, Linares and donaire might have more potential though, as they are still young.

    It's not a big deal Zippy, but here's a vid of Robinson, I'd like for anything impressive that he does in this video to be cited though if you want to talk about Robinson being impressive in comparison to our current guys -

    I think the definition of Supernatural needs to be detailed out in better fashion, we'll work on it and post it at Urban Dictionary.

    I find the overrating of the quick, but otherwise mediocre Nonito Donaire to be somewhat in the same league as the former overrating of Jermain Taylor in terms of irritating quality, Linares also. Because neither of these guys have anything resembling what would be P4P star quality ability.

    Though, I know that both could be brought along carefully and achieve P4P ranking, while other amazing talents get nowhere due to the corruptive, ignorant set up with boxing and that's the most irritating of all.

    Also I suppose the majority of fans just believing whatever they are fed as one of the core problems of this. It's nothing in the league of berating people for liking certain people, but it's obnoxious when most people won't even try to learn to seek out the answers for themselves to many questions involving whoever and the Jermain Taylor situation was a prime example.

    ****ing Taylor was heralded as a future ATG after the two Hopkins bouts, nobody who heralded him as such back then will take credit for doing that now, everyone acts like it's no big deal that the mother ****er was exposed for being the flawed non-elite that he was, even though it was plainly evident to anybody who took a very deep critical look at him.

    The problem with all of these selected 'marketable' flawed fighters getting to just breeze along is how it shuts out so much talent that will always be superior to them from getting the regard, when that talent is easily just as marketable if pushed.

    Something has to be done about this bull****, can we really take too many more Jermain Taylor's? That's about what Donaire is.

    That's a boring 9 minute selection, I know, but this is not the response that I wanted and if you can answer what I want, then please do, it would take this conversation into something legitimate instead of just more baiting.

    Since you're just browsing about anyway.

    Tonight, Linares/Donaire boosters were the most pitiful examples since PacDbest bursts on the scene. I just hope it's not 2 years in advance until they get served one right in the mouth like it took the Taylor fanbase that needed destruction since late 2004.

    based on level of competition and knock out factor, i'd say donaire is the supernatural one. ktfo wins over unbeaten champ darchinyan and maldonado whom mijares couldn't beat... :smoke

    linares has the potential to be great but needs to step it up some more. but donaire...hell no. This is it for him
