Concerning Nonito Donaire I understand why he is the positions he is in but at a first glance or to someone who is new to boxing it looks crazy. Nonito Donaire is currently ranked #4 in the pound for pound list effectively meaning they think he is the fourth best boxer in the world no matter what division is taken into account. Ring magazine believes that if everyone was condensed to one weight only three people (Pacquaio, Mayweather, Marquez) would be able to defeat him. Nonito Donaire is ranked as #7 Junior Bantamweight meaning they think that there are six people who can beat him at that weight (Darchinyan, Carzarez, Nongquayi, Nashiro, Munez and Kono) Like I said i understand both ratings but it makes the P4P list look silly. No disrespect to Donaire also, I like him, but if Pacquaio, Marquez and Mayweather retire soon (which is a possibility for all of them) then Donaire will be P4P king - does anyone else think he needs to do a lot more before be crowned the best boxer p.s. this aint a Nonito Donaire hate thread, I;m a fan of his just thought the rankings were odd
The ring rankings suck, ESB rankings are the best. Let me know your thoughts in the thread Chatty.

Restating what I said in previous threads... Nonito is a great skilled fighter but has a shitty resume
