    Nonito Donaire I think he is even superior to Naoya Inoue in his prime at 118 lbs.

    Probably also the best bantamweight and Flyweight with Pongsaklek Wonjongkam in history.

    Nonito was such a badarse! Nakatani looks to be special too. Has he been hurt or knocked down?

    Agreed. Donaire was on another level. His fight with Inoue at an advanced age after yo-yoing in weight is decent evidence of this, really.

    Donate is a harder puncher, but Inoue is far superior technique and skill wise. Nonito has a punchers chance

    Did you watch the first fight ? Inoue was almost knocked out and Donaire have almost 40 years old was very slow and far from his prime...


    I'm not sure that even Pongsaklek Wonjongkam will beat Nonito Donaire at 112 lbs when both was world champions in 2007-2009...

    Nakatani is a bad style match up. Not to mention he is big and has power. I would favor him over Donaire.
