    The Filipino Flash hit Stardom after knocking out Vic Darchinyan where he was 7-1 underdog. Vic was the most feared fighter at lower class and when Nonito knocked the lights out of him he was fighting tomato can's after that.

    I have blamed Nonito and his promoter about fighting bums but now realize that nobody wants to fight him. Who would want to fight a fighter that just destroyed one of THE or THE most feared boxer the the lower class?

    Something needs to happen to boost Nonito's career and a rematch with Vic is the way to go. I just hate to see such a great talent come to waste.

    Add: Did you see that uppercut in his last fight? Left, right, left footwork was awesome then POW... Uppercut=Goodnight....

    If he should just keep moving up in weight, he will get fights.

    Who's avoided him? To me it just looks like he doesn't want to take hard fights.

    He’s called out fighters such Daisuke Naito and Takefumi Sakata but neither showed any inkling on sharing the ring with Donaire. Forget the excuses about Japan’s unwillingness to recognize IBF,WBO and IBO as legitimate world titles. The fact is Naito and Sakata never wanted to fight Nonito. A true champion should want to fight top fighters in their division and it doesn’t necessarily have to be for a belt.

    There were talks about a Nonito Donaire vs. Fernando Montiel bout a few months ago but it fell apart, when Fernando decided to move up to bantamweight for the reason that he can no longer make the weight for the super flyweight division.
    Fernando is a great fighter and I don’t think he’s avoided Donaire, but it seems that whenever a fight with Nonito is within reach; his opponents suddenly have the inkling to move out of the division or find other excuses to not fight Donaire.

    Paul Williams was forced to fight in multiple divisions to get notable fights. Nonito forces fighters out of the division.
    Nonito has moved up to the Super Flyweight division, but still has not found success in luring any of the top fighters to meet him in the ring.
    Darchinyan has been vocal recently about facing Donaire again. But that’s because he needs Donaire again to gain credibility as he was exposed by Agbeko. Same as it was for Rafael Concepcion when he lost to Jorge Arce.

    Have you ever wondered why fighters in the lower weight division often call each other out, but Nonito’s name is almost never involved? Sure Israel Vasquez has called him out, but he’s currently fighting at featherweight, which three divisions higher than Donaire.

    There are good reasons why Donaire has been avoided. He’s a solid technical fighter with speed and great power. He’s also probably one of the most complete fighters pound for pound IMO.

    Still who has avoided him? Naito and Sakata? PFFT.

    You think Vic, Agbeko, Hasegawa and others would avoid him? No chance. Nonito just aint willing.

    You beat me to it.

    Gary Shaw stood in the way of a re-match with Vic but who else has avoided him? Maybe if Donaire stops starving himself to make this unnatural weight, he'll end up in a weight class with some well-known fighters where he can earn some pay-days commeasurate with his talent.

    Vic wanted the rematch, Shaw didn't. Nobody that good has avoided Nonito.

    Shaw has Dawson, Bradley, Funeka, Angulo and others, dont be so ignorant just to add weight to your pathetic arguement.

    In the lead-up to his last fight B-scene had several interviews with Donaire where he said how much of a struggle it was to make weight. He said his walking-around weight is about 140 and it's really hard to drop down so far. He said he eventually sees himself fighting at 126 and 130.

    Shaw is on record as saying he blocked the rematch from happening as he was bitter about Donaire moving to Top Rank. He said recently that he's willing to make it happen though - and whatever you think of him, he hasn't exactly been shy about putting Vic in tough fights.
