I want to address an issue of not only sitting on the RING magazine belt(like sergio martinez has) but also the p4p rating system being more of a popularity PPV draw than who the best fighter is. If you were to take what each guy between mayweather, pacman, marquez, donaire, ward, and martinez have done in the last 5 years, it would be a no- contest win for the filipino flash. Since '07 donaire beat everyone from top to bottom at 112, 115, 118, and has a fight(hopefully) lined up to fight for the championship at 122, and including but not limited to 2 (at the time he fought them) RING magazine top 10 p4p'ers in Vic darchinyan and fernando montiel, both by 1 punch KO. None of the others have even come close to those stats in the last 5 years. Couple with that the fact that Donaire either wins in style( by KTFO) or makes his guy so tentative that he wins lopsided against the top of his weight class. I think if you're a smart boxing fan( a big ask for ESB ) and you take race or national- istic pride out of it, you'll agree that Nonito Donaire is the undisputed #1 p4p fighter in the world today.
donaire is the real deal and for me the p4p number one fighter as long as he doesn't lose. but i would love to see him fighting rigo because there he will get a real challange
