    Speed: Pacquiao
    Power: Pacquiao -- Donaire's power comes from his techinique, not pure power like Pac in my opinion
    Technique:Mayweather
    Excitement: JMM
    Chin: Pacquiao

    Favourite fighter = JMM = Greatest (proper not flurry) combination puncher ever

    I agree with you in a way, but everytime I see that Montiel KO it reminds me of Donaire's power, technique alone doesnt dent a mans face

    1. Speed = depends. For combo, I say Pac. For sheer "getting your shot off first"? PBF.
    2. Power = Pac. Even with unusual non full leverage punches, Pac can drop anybody at 147 or below.
    3. Technique = PBF. JMM is second.
    4. Excitement = Depends. For the technical heads, PBF and JMM leads it. For the brawlers Pac is probably it. Donaire is someting in the middle.
    Chin = Pac.
     
  7. idk if i'd say donaire is the most powerful people are gettting carried away with the montiel knockout

    Speed: Getting Off First Money, Flurries Manny.
    Power: Manny
    Technique: Floyd
    Excitement: JMM
    Chin: All of them pretty good in that department (with the exception of JMM who frequently tastes canvas but actually never gets k.o'd)

    Favourite: Floyd, followed by JMM

    this sounds about right...

    but Martinez is my current man-crush so he's my fav of them all...
