    monster of a fighter, but that Marquez fight was stopped ridiculously quick. Beautiful uppercuts though, perfect !

    But you are making it sound like as if you aren't giving Donaire, or any of those ATG/HOF fighters any credit for their achievements at those weights because you claim they were "weight bullies". As long as you can make the weight you aren't a weight bully.

    Look at Ricardo Lopez, a guy considered one of the best Mexican boxers, dominated a 105 pound weight division but looks like he could be 3 weight classes above. Do you consider Finito a weight bully?

    Donaire looked almost like his old self against Oubaali. Sensational performance from an old veteran.

    It's amazing what an old fighter pushing 40 can do. Donaire at 38 years old almost looking like he was still in his prime. Why can a fighter like Donaire still look almost prime at 38 but a fighter like GGG is deemed old and far past his best at 35/36? Why couldn't GGG produce a 38-year old Doniare type of performance in his mid 30s?

    Super stardom and big money can dull even the biggest talents

    I think GGG has fallen out of love with the sport, the politics has left him jaded, realistically what has he got left to fight for?

    Sad to see him going from a "beast" to what appears to be somewhat of a panzy ass for killing the fight with Casimero.

    The way he smashed Sidorenko was unreal. Sidorenko was no chump and Donaire made it look easy.

    Remember when he and Abner Mares were on a collision course for a unification after Abner won that tournament.. That would have been a good fight..

    Makes me sad that we never got to see Inoue fight a prime Donaire. Donaire from 2007-2011 was literally like Inoue in terms of H2H monster. It's just sad to see Donaire dethroned like that but what career he had.
