Fortunately for him, there's nobody any good around his weight class. Jofre would ko him in 3 rounds. I hope he fights someone who hits back soon.
The guy in my avatar, you ****ing noob. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFc7fGxQ6vw[/ame] [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eW8iasWOQRk[/ame] One of the greatest boxers of all time. You should be ashamed of yourself, Jai C.
You can't say for sure what would happen but the fact that you're putting Donaire in that conversation shows you must think he's a great fighter
Well, i do think he's a great fighter, yeah. He's not fought anyone on his level for a long time. I'm just waiting now until he fights someone as great as Jofre, or someone who can give him a hell of a fight. Maybe it's Rigonodeaux. And that's a big maybe.
He has fought some of the best small fighters of his era and destroyed them, like Darchinyan and Montiel. Guy has earned his respect
If he took on Rigondeaux and destroyed him. I would agree. It takes one punch and he has it. But i know Jofre would take anything Donaire can throw and hit back in bunches. Donaire can't handle that type of pressure. After watching pretty much all his fights. His speed is amazing, but he's been fortunate there's no one who can really match him. Maybe on paper. I think he thought Toshiaki could match him and give him a good fight. Well, he would have if he threw punches. But it wasn't a bad performance by Tosh, as you aren't there to be hit. You're there to make your opponent miss, as he's a counter puncher. Unfortunately for him, Donaire's speed overwhelmed him, and so did the occasion. Donaire can be hurt and knocked out i believe. He just overwhelms people with his speed and power. If he fights someone who doesn't need speed, and has power, defensive properties, and has great balance and footwork. He will lose. He's not fought anyone like that yet. I can't say it was a bad performance by Donaire because it wasn't. But if he fought someone who had way way better defence and who can hit back in bunches with hard accurate punches and had the same strength he has, or better. It will be tough for him. Donaire i believe should move up soon. He looks bigger than his opponents at times. Jofre is a different beast, and so was Fighting Harada. He would do better against Harada, though.
In defense of Jai C you should have said in a ****en fantasy dream world filled with stuff that can't really happen. I know who Jofre is & even I was like who the **** is that??? (Thinking current because obviously Donaire just fought last night) OHHH in a H2H fantasy fight. (You had to go way beack to find a "will beat the **** out Donaire guy") Nonito is doing something right.
If Rigondeaux has an iron chin, which the jury is still out on. I would think he could be the one who may just do it. However, I would still favor Donaire over him at this point.
Donaire has beat two P4P top ten fighters (at the time) Darchinyan, Montiel, were top ten P4P, as well as other belt holder in a few different divisions. He has beat some good fighters and looked impressive doing it in most case's.
No offence. But his win over Darchinyan is highly overrated. It was a good win but don't overrate it. Jofre would ko Vic in 2 to 3 rounds. And ko Montiel very quickly.
At the time though Darchinyan was rated very highly, the fight happened at 112 lbs and it wasn't really untill Darchinyan stepped upto 118 lbs that he started to struggle. Outside of the Donaire fight. Even after the Donaire fight he went on to win the WBC and IBF titles at 115 lbs.
Eder Jofre is one of the best ever. If you don't know who he is, you are not a boxing fan. At all. That's the thing you see. One of the best ever, and he really didn't lose. The two losses were very arguable. He only lost twice to one man.
Willie Pep and Jimmy Wilde would beat Donaire too! Look, I can name past fighters that were better too :deal
