    If you disagree with it, state your reasons..

    IMO, Nonito is technically more sound and skilled than Pac..

    He is more technically skilled and sound than PAC but he isn't as great as PAC. HOFer for sure though even if he retires today.

    I can honestly say I don't think Nonito ducked anyone. He fought Rigondeaux and Walters, two guys that most guys in his position would have turned down.

    Completely outclassed in his biggest fight.:bart

    Kirk Johnson is technically more sound and skilled than Rocky Marciano. Should Kirk Johnson be in the Hall of Fame?

    He is so 1 dimensional. At least Pac added a punch to his repitoire

    Kirk Johnson hasn't done **** to get into the hall.. Nonito has..

    You are totally missing the point.. DId I say that Nonito is greater than Pac? I just said that he's technically superior..

    NOnito is a HOFer..

    There was a time I thought Nonito was the more skilled fighter between him and Pac. Nonito had this incredible one punch power in that left hook and he had great hand speed.The way Nonito used to clown some opponents like the Dempsey Roll he used once or the knockout shot on Darch was incredible highlights

    Yet as his career progressed after his FOTY year it seemed Nonito just didn't have the same drive or just became too much of a believer in that left hook- highlight reel knockout punch of his. I thought the Rigo fight looked even at first but Nonito seemed so focused on that knockout shot that he forgot everything else he was capable off. Since then he hasn't looked good as he used to be

    Still Nonito even with his latest loss has nothing to be ashamed off, he def has a great resume and is probably still a threat to most guys to 126 and under

    technical superiority and measure of skill seems biased on orthodox and amateur fighting style
