He's got a chance to build a really special resume. But he must stop wasting time.

Marble- Donaire had some injury issues. And Arum really didn't seem concerned with making him a star.

After the last win against Montiel, Donaire did something very dumb. He tried to break a contract. A contract is a contract is a contract. Arum was an attorney(like me). Top Rank also undoubtedly has good legal representation.
I hear ya. But Nonito fought what? 6 times between Vic and Montiel and faced who exactly?
I agree it was a total waste, but he was injured a bit. Then Arum was putting him on small ppvs. I blame his manager and promoter as much as him in this case. When Donaire left Arum, I said it was bullshit because there was a valid contract (me as a lawyer speakin). At the same time, I say fuck Arum, let Donaire free to make something of himself (the boxing fan in me speaking).

He is a fighter who has wasted part of his prime, but I don't believe he isn't one that doesn't want glory. he's just a guy in an unfortunate situation that should have blown up before it did this spring!!!
OK based on your testimony I'll give Donaire a temporary Mulligan. Thanks.
