    That's because Pacquiao can get his punches off fast very quickly, faster than any other boxer.

    No, he does not. He's fighting smaller guys that's why he looks so ****in' powerfull. Imagine what Pacquiao would do to the competition Donaire has faced... Mathebula and Vazquez would never see the final bell against Pacquiao, who was a monster at those lower weights.

    Speed isn't even comparable.

    I've been thinking

    I think the reason why Donaire doesn't have the Filipino charisma is because of this. This could be the reason why he doesn't draw Filipino crowd like Pacquiao does :lol:

    It's because Pacman was the greatest ever and they all overlooked Nonito. Now that Pacman lost once and Nonito is surging with Fighter of the year honors, Donaire will be big time soon.

    I actually think even Bautista and Banal had more charisma during their undefeated days than Donaire has now :lol:

    Sometimes fighting styles does give biasness in people's eyes and I actually think Donaire's 'hit and run' style, as what PIPO23 pointed out, doesn't pretty much attract Filipino eyes ;)

    Remember Pacquiao's skill-set is different from Donaire's.

    So from all the responses it looks like most people do believe Nonito Donaire has more skills than Pacquiao.
