Step aside PW, donaire is now the most avoided boxer

I read that he went into the fight with a broken hand (his power hand, of course) but he's so damn awkward, I never know when he's looking poorly because he's slipping or because he's in a fight where the clash of styles makes him look bad. I remember watching his first title-winning effort and he looked horrible for a the better part of that fight, against another southpaw. I haven't seen the Barcelona fight, but I've got the YT videos bookmarked.

 

No way in hell is Donaire anywhere close to the most avoided fighter in boxing today. He has fought nobody since the Darchinyan win except midget cab drivers and bloated 100 pounders.

 

He also had a fight scheduled with Montriel, but Montiel cancelled on him.

 

but the thing is, Arum promotes Montiel, Morel, and Arce.

 

Yeah, Vic took a chance in a third weight class against a rugged champion and didn't win. Donaire did...what again? The guy with the history of making the biggest fights available to him-Darchinyan. The guy who only has one big win-Donaire-against Darchinyan. Gee, who should I be inclined to think is holding up the proceedings? The Donaire camp, or the Darchinyan camp? Hmm. :think

Vic- Olympian, though did not medal.

Donaire- tried out for the Olympics, though failed to qualify.

Vic-Flyweight champ. Beating an undefeated established champion to be the champ. Six defenses.

Donaire-beat an undefeated flyweight champ and had three defenses.

Vic-only man to unify the super flyweight division, three world titles, fought Arce, Kirilov and Mijares.

Donaire-was the interim super flyweight champion for the WBA-while Vic was the actual champion of both the WBA and the lineal, period.

Vic-Challenged a very well regarded champion for a major Bantamweight title. Donaire-???

Now, this isn't a knock on the very talented Donaire, (who I think would beat Vic again) as he's been around less time. But it is a ****ing reality check on who gets things done so far. I'm inclined to believe that Vic would love to fight Donaire again as I think he believes he wins it. I can't say that about Donaire because he doesn't have the history to support him. :hi:

 

I already said I was being sarcastic. Read more thoroughly on that account and on the other, see above comment. :deal

 

wow... the darchinyan express ...they all came out

 

atsch Oh, I see. Shaw can interfere with Donaire as his management and it's his fault, but not with Darchinyan as Darchinyan's management? Biaaaas. Think about it. Darchinyan wants the fight. It fits his entire history of always making the big fights out there. Maybe Donaire's management is the only problem, but since he doesn't have that kind of history yet that Vic has, I wouldn't bet on it one way or the other. I would actually put money on Vic wanting the rematch.
