    No chance, but imagine if Ioka moved up and fought Donaire after beating Franco. Just a fun fantasy fight I've had on my mind for awhile.

    Why is Nonito even fighting? He's already stamped his ticket as one of the best little guys ever.............time to ride into the sunset

    I think he’s gonna fight on until he can’t perform at a high level against good opponents. Sort of like B-Hop after the Tarver fight when he hung around for awhile beating good guys but lost when matched up against great or very good opponents.

    He was fine beating the likes of Pascal, Shumenov, Cloud and losing with the built in age excuse against HOF/Future HOF Calzaghe and Kovalev and very good Chad Dawson. But when he lost to Smith he knew it was time to hang it up.

    Donaire will probably fight until he can’t beat good to average opponents any more.

    I can definitely see Nonito doing this as well...........most outstanding fighters won't retire until they "get retired" smh

    Come on, Nonito, stop already. Stop while you can still speak coherently.
