ROBERT GARCIA: " Nonito is better then Pacquiao

[norrin]

Skillwise Donaire is the man

Donaire is hands down better than PAC. I thought that when he floored Darchiniyan. I honestly believed he baited Montiel into throwing that shot so he could hit him w/ the left (like he said). He is a true p4p but I would like to see him w/ someone of his own size and speed.

[AFighter4U]

Skill wise Donaire is better in sheer power definitely Manny e.g Hatton, stayed in the canvas longer than the fight itself. IMOH Donaire has a good chin. Was able to absorb Montiel's power punch without flinching before landing his own counter punch that ended the fight.

[ThePunchingBag]

Donaire has yet to fight a Morales or a Marquez type fighter.

Fights that test his heart as a fighter.

We all know Pac has the heart of a lion to go along with his skills and athleticism.

We're still waiting for Donaire to prove the same.

[mushahadeen]

Donaire is better technically.

But let's be real: they can drain Margarito, Cotto, Clottey, De La Hoya, Hatton to whatever they want-- they all kill Donaire.

Donaire won't ever even get to JWW so...that's the diff.

[potski]

We're all just too excited for Donaire after his amazing performance.
Bottom line though, he's only fought 2 named fighters who are not
really boxers but more like brawlers, Darchinyan and Montiel. Not to
mention those two opponents are shorter and smaller than him.
Donaire has the speed, power and skills. But his heart and chin are
still in question. Pacquiao is proven in every department and his
accomplishments are second to none. So at this point, saying that
Donaire is better than Pac is ridiculous.

And btw, if you believe than Montiel was really 8 lbs bigger than
Donaire during the fight, you're a fool. It was more like the other
way around.

[Pullcounter]

nonito has better technique, but I doubt nonito can replicate manny's 8 (or 7 according the some) championships in 8 different divisions.

[neoz]

And?
Where the news?
He doniare coach wat ya except him to say?

[Phil Ivey]

its not fair to compare Manny's resume to Nonito's right now... he hasn't even peaked yet. Donaire is unlikely to equal Manny's achievement of 8 championships in 8 divisions but that's not the only measure of greatness. I can't wait when he faces Gamboa and Lopez (will skyrocket his popularity immensely). I really hope he doesn't do the whole thing after the Darychinyan win and fight bums.

Nonito is gonna start getting a lot of hate from the *******s now

[jrosales13]

Agreed. Nobody can deny that Donaire is much more technically skilled than Pac.

The sad thing about this, is that I have a feeling that once Pac retires, Nonito will probably get rid of Garcia and hire roach, lol.

I think that would be a big mistake, I don't know why he would do that.
