- His last 5 fights were all stoppages ...

- Has not lost a fight in 8 years and on a 19 fights winning streak...

That's impressive to me aside from him being considered as the total package, an excellent combination of boxing skills, speed, power and solid chin... He boxes very good, very smart and ends fights with a KO...

This is exactly my point Xadu, Darchinyan WASN'T a multi weight world champ when he fough Donaire. His most impressive wins against Mijares and Arce came after that loss, so why is Donaire getting credit for them.

The fact is, and its undisputable imo if Mijares or Arce would have spanked Darchinyan then Donaire would not be in the top 10 let alone 7th as he would only have beaten a decent but not special belt holder in Vic Darchinyan.

His own acomplishments arn't what have got him into the p4p he's just rode in on the back of Darchinyans coat tails.

It's always interesting to me too that in the little divisions beating an undefeated (usually a part timer with barely 10 fights) is seen as a great thing, whereas in the higher divisions where we actually know who these contenders are a win over an undefeated can mean virtually nothing as we just dismiss them.
