Is Nonito Donaire's prime being...?

wasted? I mean, for a guy who's in the Top 5 P4P, he has no upcoming fight scheduled. His last fight was more than 3 months ago! Is his prime (and his window for his biggest earning potential and superstar status) being squandered away? Who would you blame for this? Who would you like to see him in the ring with next?

    I agree Nepster.I thought Donaire was being overrated before the Montiel fight and predicted Montiel to KO him but after watching him demolish Montiel i became a big fan.I'm like you disappointed that we have yet to see Donaire follow up on that win but he still has time on his side.

    I don't know who's to blame because we don't really know what goes on behind the scenes.All the stuff with TR and GBP obviously is a big factor and i think his wife has a lot to say for herself.Bob Arum is a smart man and i'm sure he'll have Donaire back in the ring sooner rather than later so Bob can fill his pockets!

    Donaire at bantam and below is like a well-chinned, well trained and technically sound Paul Williams fighting at welterweight. You can't blame the other guys and their promoters from avoiding him. As mentioned before, he should move up in weight but im pretty sure the featherweight guys are also not that eager to jump in the ring with him.

    sad to say YESH I am very piss off because I want to see Donaire fight again. I want to see him move up in weight after he unified the the division. I think some promoter are hater. They favor boxer and they are not giving Donaire a chance to be great like Chris John. So so sad. I believe that Donaire will be the NEXT big thing in boxing after Manny retired. Iam so pump and cant wait for the next Donaire fight.

    I hear you, you can blame Gary Shaw for that

    Both Donaire and Vic Darchinyan where under Gary Shaw when Donaire knocked Vic Darchynian out, but Gary Shaw still gave Vic Darchinyan the title shot, and put Donaire in a non title fight on Darchinyan's undercard, what a spit in the face for Donaire, so you cannot blame Donaire for abandoning Gary Shaw.

    He could probably go up to the Featherweight division
