    How much of a ***** would you have to be to not want to fight a Flyweight? Seriously, though? I would walk Miguel Canto down. Strowed his ass.

    Most posters would take a bad beating against any journeyman pro boxer anyway

    If you were a talented boxer who would you avoid? The best of all time obviously, the guys who were too fast, too powerful, guys who set too fast a pace. Take your pick and it depends on your strengths and weaknesses too

    A better question is who would you want to challenge for a title against. I may go with some older timer like Corbett. I certainly wouldn't want to fight a Lennox or a Klit brother, just overcoming the size difference of someone that good

    I have no doubt a flyweight Donaire would brutalise most ESB posters within 30seconds

    Most people would be too scared to get in the ring with the world class fighter for any amount of money.

    Boy's got some potential, that's for sure.

    Great fighter to watch.

    Hope Donaire - Gamboa happen someday.

    if i was world class level fighter i would relish the chance to fight most of the names mentioned- on the big stage for big money. it would be an honor and a chance of a lifetime to fight a liston or a hagler or a duran
