    Pac-like offensive capabilities

    Floyd-like defensive capabilities

    Mosley-like taste in women






























    oh well, can't have it all, I guess. :-(

    Donaire has given us some highlight reel kos to and he is a boxer/counterpuncher not an offensive punching machine like Pacquiao. I think Nonito is a special talent.

    These *******s are delusional, Pacquio didn't win a tittle at 147 or 154, both fights were at catch weight and he fought Cotto (drained, Berto should had been a better choice) and Marg, undeserving cheater not even licensed and at 150 lbs catch weight, the Champ was Martinez and he could had fought Williams there too.

    I tend to agree with both of these statements BUT, who knows? He's got the frame to build on (started at a higher weight than Pac and has more of the height & shoulders to grow with) but we have to give him another year or two to prove himself. I'd love to see Donaire KO Gamboa!

    Donaire is the real deal. I don't know how many classes he can jump, i don't expect him to emulate Pacquiao, i'm just gona enjoy the ride..

    In your dream, he might not be able to get past Rigondeaux, although if he start cherry picking like his countryman, he maybe able to win a few more belts in "differents" weight class

    Nito doesn't have the kind of body that can pack on that much weight like Pac has, but skill wise he might be the best in the game today.
    I don't know of guys like Gamboa and Lopez are good fights right now because those guys seem to already be outgrowing featherweight, while Nito isn't even there yet. But I'd take his skill set over either of them.

    When and if he fights a fighter his own size and close to his skill level, Gamboa, Juanma, Linares etc.. then you will c what I'm talking about.

    when he gets hit like this by Gamboa or Juanma it will b all over, and gamboa is way faster than him.

    Donaire is very special - at least at this weight- but there's no telling how successful he'll be going up in weight. Can he take heavier shots? Will his power follow him like it did Manny? We won't know until he actually steps up. fwiw, I really don't put much value in the whole weight-jumping phenomenon. It always involves cherrypicking. If one weight was good enough for Marvin Hagler....
