Donaire's best days are behind him. He will beat good fighters, but not the top ones. Overall he is a decent boxer, really good power, but HBO talked him up as P4P. He never came close to my top 5.

Re: Donaire - Quigg close to a deal
He always looked bigger then everyone he fought and noticeable. Not sure how he managed 115 because when he moved up to 118 to challenge Sydorenko, it looked like he was fighting a 12 year old.Originally Posted by SlimTrae
I'v always thought of him as a one hit wonder and he got way to much mileage out of that Darchinyan ko imo. Vic was staying with him in the fight, got sloppy coming in and got zeroed. When he got schooled by Rigo he said 122 was to small and when he got destroyed by Walters 126 was to big. Maybe 122 reignites him. He wont be able to keep up with Quiggs pace and will be looking for the bomb all night on a counter. Surly Quiggs team along with himself know this.
Would love to see Rigo/Quigg

Re: Donaire - Quigg close to a deal
Quigg and Frampton will fight the best fighters out there rather than fight one another?
That is acceptable.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

Aren't Rigo, Walters and Loma the best out there?

Re: Donaire - Quigg close to a deal
It was ambitious to move up to featherweight, and I think part of the reason he moved up was that he lost to Rigo. However, losing to Rigo didn't make him a bad fighter. There's no shame in losing to Rigo. He beat the best at 115, 118 and 122, other than Rigo. He's a terrific fighter. If he beats Quigg, he cements his legacy in my opinion. I happen to think that he's on the downside of his career though and I don't favor him in the match up.

Re: Donaire - Quigg close to a deal
I fell for it also. He was going to be the next big thing. I think he's done also. I mean as a top fighter.
