    I would have clearly Martin Castillo, Cristian Mijares & Fernando Montiel in the top 3.
    Still tho Super Flyweight is close to the strongest division in boxing.
    Definitely strongest below Super Feather, & with Vic Darchinyan fightin Z Gorres in an IBF Title Eliminator, another big name moves into the Super Flyweight picture.

    Living in denial is not going to help the reality that Mijares is not going to lose to anybody 115 and under, especially a flawed product like Nonito Donaire who has shown potential weaknesses to heavy workrate and a good jab, two things Mijares is excellent at, tripling up on a fast stinging jab and throwing a ton of shots.

    And what does Casamayor have to do with the 115 pound rankings that the now shameless Ring magazine has posted.

    Did you see their pound for pound rankings also? Just as bad.

    Cmon mate I'm not living in denial..Mijares-Donaire would be a competitive fight and in my opinion go either way but probably to Mijares...As far as the Ring rankings for 115 they are hardly credible and as you stated shamless.. So the discussion and poderance of them is nothing more than a waste of time...as the conclusion will always come down to how irrelevant they are now...not that they werent credible in the past

    It won't be a competitive fight, because Donaire is not as good. He is quick yes, but he's littered with flaws intangibles and stylistic that Mijares would easily exploit.

    The worst match up for him is Cristian Mijares, who will keep the jab in his face all night and the workrate will have Donaire freeze up and he lacks the experience to know what to do while the round is still in.

    I never boosted Darchinyan, I even tipped the fact that Donaire had a good shot over him after watching some video. I analyse fights for betting purposes these days, it seems the odds will reflect public idiocy when Donaire-Mijares comes around and the smart money will be made on Mijares.:yep

    By the way, I had a little wager on Donaire over Darchinyan due to the 10/1 odds displayed, I was REALLY HYPING Vic Darchinyan level jokes.:yep

    All in good time hopefully mate...However Donaire must be respected for wanting to clean out the division something rarely done in the lighter weights...I hope he does it and then makes believers by dominating Mijares the way he did Darchinyan and the rest of the division...Donaire is too quick and skilled to walk into Mijares jab all nite cmon mate:good

    :lol: :lol: Always heard it the other way around. I must admit, your fantasies do amuse me!

    For the record, I think Mijares UD's Donaire quite easily but that still doesnt make him supernatural. Donaire is no more than a B+/A- fighter.

    He beat an overrated Darchinyan which is still a great win but based on his performance afterwards, it wasnt too great.

    Im not too impressed with him. His counterounching skills isnt nowhere close to the elites, his speed is good but maybe thats just because his peers are so slow, considering how small these guys are youd think they would be faster. PBF is a good 30lbs heavier and is faster for example. He doesnt have that killer instinct or aggresion either and seems very basic.

    Put it this way, I wouldnt rank him amongst the likes of PBF, Pac, Calzaghe, Guzman, Hopkins, Wlad, JMM, Hatton, Rafael, Cotto, Vasquez etc. All those fighters and many more are so much more impressive. Hes probably more in the ranks of Cintron, Clinton Woods, Chagaev. Good fighters but not A+. Mijares is an A and Donaire is a A- at best. I do like the guy though, he seems very respectable in his interviews.

    these rankings should be shaken up in a couple of months anyway, with the superfly eliminator in the works. castillo-montiel + mijares-navarro on the undercard of pac-marquez (i think it's pac-marquez, or is it another big fight?), with the winner of both fights meeting up later in the year for THE crown at superfly.
