    Just stop. I can’t stand when people accuse as Donaire of being a weight bully yet give other fighters a pass. If you can make the weight then you’re not a weight bully.
    Are you also saying that guys like ODLH, Arturo Gatti, Thomas Hearns, Jeff Chandler, Carlos Zarate, Alexis Arguello, Gerald McClellan, Eusebio Pedroza, Ricardo Lopez, Vernon Forrest, Hilario Zapata, Raul Perez, Mark Breland, Paul Williams, Diego Corrales, Terence Crawford, Devin Haney, etc. are also weight bullies since they appear larger than their opponent?

    Don't forget ancient Rigoblin broke prime Nonito's eye as well. But I don't see why you wouldn't give credit to Inoue for fighting for 10 rounds with a broken eye socket and still handily beating Nonito's ass. Yet you worship Casimero who has quit once in a fight and once in sparring...

    I heard Filipino people hate the Japanese. Is this the source of your hatred for Inoue?

    That's beside the point. Fighters drop down in weight classes all the time and have success. If they can make the weight they can make the weight, I don't see what the problem is. :nusenuse:

    I'm not sure where you get your sources from but Filipinos tend to love and idolize Japanese people. I'm Filipino-American and I love Inoue and many Japanese fighters. Fighting Harada, Hozumi Hasegawa, Jiro Watanabe, Yoko Gushiken, etc.

    Yes. I personally don't care if someone's a weight bully or not but you can't deny they are prevalent in the sport and they are exploiting an unsportsmanlike advantage.

    Okay, it was one Filipino guy that said this to me.

    :lol:

    I guess the Japanese occupied the Philippines for 3 years and something like 500,000 Filipinos died.

    Nonito looked like he was 2 weight divisions bigger than Inoue and the other 118 pounders he's fought. When he fought guys his actual size or bigger (Magdeleno, Walters, Frampton) he was ineffective.

    Nonito knows he's bigger than everyone at 118, so he dropped down.

    That was during WW2, most of us are pretty much past that at this point and have forgiven them for the atrocities. Although it doesn't surprise me that there'd still be some Filipinos that have ill-will towards the Japanese. For the most part Filipinos generally view Japanese people in a positive way.

    Bob Foster mostly fought at LHW, moved up to HW and got destroyed, then moved back down. Bob Fitzsimmons, Joey Maxim and Orlin Norris also fought at HW then moved down to LHW after getting beat. Does that answer your question?

    You're so persistent on trashing a HOF fighter. Donaire's a legend and will go down as a well respected fighter.

    Let Inoue fight a fighter like Walters and see what happens.Donaire has been shot for half a decade. I would estimate. That advantage is nullified simply because he is a decade older than Inoue has been in a lot of wars and ware on his body so accept it. Fact of the matter is your homeboy Inoue has been fighting weak opps. Put him with a puncher that can crack and do damage to him.

    Gilleurmo is 3 yrs older than Donaire. How is that ancient? What are you smoking? Donaire has had eye sockets and hand broke in fights. Nothing new. He also broke eye sockets and cracked bones. As far as Hatred towards Japanese. This is false. I love JDM and so you can just put that in the "basura".

    That guy was talking about the War. Koreans don't like Japanese people for the same reason. But that was all over years ago. We have forgiven but not forgotten. Korea do harbor some hate to this day. But not the Filos.

    Nonito has discovered the fountain of youth and he's been an absolute killing machine since he came back to 118.

    Nonito's a massive puncher and he landed three brutal fight-ending shots and couldn't get Inoue out of there. With double vision from round 2, Inoue still beat Nonito comfortably.

    Nonito can crack and he broke his eye socket, so what in the holy hell are you talking about?

    Also, Casimero ducked Nonito and Inoue.

    Man, quit being so stupid.
