    Martinez, Donaire, and Gamboa were really something special when they had that ray of aura a few years back. Now that all 3 have a recent TKO loss to the better men when they fought them which beaten fighter made you sad seeing the most?

    Well, the difference between Donaire and the other two is that Donaire is actually a great fighter. Martinez and Gamboa were just hype jobs with maybe one or two good wins.

    Martinez. Sad to see a guy with two wobbly knees fighting for a paycheck like that.

    As for Donaire and Gamboa, two PED champions as far as I'm concerned. I don't find it a coincidence how Donaire has dropped several levels since BALCO Conte left. Gamboa never the same after the Miami PED lab exposed.

    Definitely Sergio. He definitely wanted to fight, but his arthritis got the best of him.

    Martinez because of the injuries ..It was sad to see a guy who operated at such a high level just succumb to his injuries like that ..

    As far as Gamboa he was a KO waiting to happen with his inactivity and the guy never improved on his defense ..

    And as far as Donaire the guy had a great run all good runs come to an end

    That's a tough one. I expected gamboa and donaire to get knocked out. Martinez has always been one of my fav's and i was stubborn enough to think he could pull it off.

    Donaire... He took on all comers and was really exciting boxer for awhile.

    Seems like a normal guy

    Martinez, because he was physically impaired before the fight started.
