    As of Saturday i had Nonito ahead, Dzinurik was an impressive win but for me Montiel was the better scalp.... Very close as Martinez is more busy and overall has the better wins.. I just cant believe the poll is so wide so im gonna pick Nonito by a hair.

    Donaire. Martinez has the slightly better resume but I think Donaire is just the better fighter and would pick him against Martinez if weight wasn't a factor.

    It's truly shocking how wide these poll results are. IMO I still think Donaire should be rated higher than Martinez. Martinez's win against Dzinziruk is very comparable to Donaire's win against Sidorenko. Dzinziruk maybe undefeated when Martinez face him but considering Donaire KOs Sidorenko quicker and more dominant both wins are just as impressive. What should make Donaire be rated higher than Martinez was his KO wins over Montiel and an undefeated Darchinyan which are more impressive than Martinez's win over Williams and Pavlik.
    People argue Williams was rated higher than Montiel but the thing is about how Williams was rated is more to do on how he was supposed to being avoided by the very big names rather than who has he beaten. In speaking of which, Williams' biggest win was close decision against the slow starting Margarito. Montiel on the other hand was a 3 division world champion, had a great 2010 which includes a unification against the highly rated Hasegawa.
    What is more Donaire has loss a lot less rounds than Martinez and he has never officially been knockdown in his entire career whereas Martinez has been knockdown against Williams on the first fight and also on the fight against Pavlik (Both maybe a flash knockdowns but both are still classified as a knockdowns).
