    What do you guys think? I'm not so sure.

    Donaire certainly has the power, there is no denying that.

    Although Agbeko does have a very good chin. He's never been legitimately knocked down, and I've never seen him hurt in a fight. Montiel had been down 6 times before the Donaire fight. Agbeko has decent head movement aswell, it's his willingness to trade that is his flaw.

    So could Donaire stop Joseph Agbeko if they were to fight?

    He certainly can. The points you bring up also raise the possibility that Agbeko could survive.

    However, I think Donaire would likely KO him because he's a very good counter puncher and the way Agbeko throws his lead right makes me think he'd countered something fierce.

    He could, but I don't think he would...

    KO him? No, I dont think so. Accumulation stoppage is a possibility though.

    Any sort of KO/TKO.

    I'm not sure. As far as we know, Agbeko has a very surdy chin. He went to war with Perez, Darchinyan and Sidorenko to some extent and was never hurt by a punch. His head movement is pretty good too so he is not often caught going in when he implements it. I honestly would be surprised if Donaire stopped Agbeko.

    Yeah, the best thing about Agbeko aside from his sturdy chin is when he's at his best, his head and shoulders are always moving perpetually. However, if he comes out like the first Perez fight he would probably be screwed.

    Course he can. If he catches him with that same shot that smashed Montiels skull, its lights out. From what Ive seen of Agbeko though, he can be elusive when he wants.

    Yup. If he descides to block punches with his face he's a gonner.

    He could but I'd be surprised Agbeko is a hard mother****er.

    I think he probably could. I don't want to see him move up in weight. I would prefer seeing him clean out 118 first

    That wont be too difficult.

    He can beat Agbeko/Mares, and Moreno should be a pretty routine win.
