Morel Turns Down Donaire Offer to Fight

...And why the **** is he #4 in Ring's p4p list? :fire

 

I think that if you considered pure ability only, that he may have justified his ranking. If you consider resume only - then he would be outside the top 25 by a fair margin.

I always thought you should look at both ability and resume combined. In which case his resume is so bad that he couldn't be in the top 10 P4P even if he had enough talent to be there.

Obviously the people who contribute to ring magazine's rankings don't see it that way.

 

I consider pure ability too. But I like to see it tested a little better to make sure it is what it appears. The Vic win was great but I think when you've got a guy as awkward as Darchinyan, his style is going to work, sometimes inexplicably, with some top fighters, and be totally impotent against others. I need to see this kid in against somebody else. Darchinyan has unified the division while Donaire has yet to do anything in it but get an interim title, when Darchinyan actually has the real version of that same title. How the hell can Montiel have three weight class titles, unified titles in his third weight class knocking out a terrific fighter in Hasegawa, Darchinyan beat up Mijares, Arce and Kirilov and Chris John still be undefeated, defending in double digits and claiming a win over JMM and somehow all three are not even in the top ten, and this kid is number four? He's talented, great. But he doesn't deserve this yet even if the hunch is he can beat a lot of the best in his weight range. Anyway, rant, rant, rant, Pongsaklek Wonjongkam.

 

End thread!

 

there is showtime date for to fight VIC, what the **** is this guy doing.
