But momentum is on his side, if he unify one more belt and then move up and beat some decent name then he may be at JMM level very soon.
This is a high quality win for Donaire but you guys are over reacting. JMM has fought elite competition over a career. Donaire does not warrant a ranking over him.
Donaire is Top 10. No higher. He has to do a little more. I still think skill wise he is maybe Top 5 p4p, but his accomplishments are nowhere near what they need to be to displace some of the guys there.
go check any pound for pound rankings by professionals...such as boxrec...rankings are determined by accumulated points...as a result that would put donaire between 30-35th...andother good win might put him in the top 25, and on the same level as an adamek....whoever has him above klitschkos , haye, khan, froch or other individulas who might not even be in top 10 are on drugs
yeah I feel the same about that. Donaire essentially did what Martinez did, but I feel KOing Paul Williams is bigger than KOing Motniel. before the fight I had Williams 3/4 p4p and to top that off, he raped Pavlik
Definitely not. Marquez has established himself in several divisions already, and has put away top Lightweight contenders for a few years in dramatic fashion at his age. Nonaire just launched himself into the elite stratosphere, but his story is just beginning. The accomplishments simply do not match up.
