    Could the Prince catch Donaire and put him out?

    yes...easy work....Hamed will be down first...and maybe even 2nd...but once Donaire goes down he won't be getting up...

    Donaire is one of the more overrated fighters of recent years.

    Hamed would hurt him.........BADLY.

    I think Donaire is overrated but that doesn't mean he isn't good.

    He's a good fighter but quite flawed and not the phenom some have made him out to be.

    Ironically, I think Prince Naseem has now become underrated. If he was around 126 today, I think he would rule the division.

    I think you'd have to favor Hamed. It's a lot to ask of Donaire to take that kind of power. Hamed was unusually powerful by Featherweight standards (I'd put him easily in the top 5 for one-shot power in the history of that great division all-time, right there with Danny Lopez, Arguello, Saddler, Antonio Esparragoza, etc., anyone you want to name) ... At some point, Nonito has to deal with that punch. It's a lot to ask of a guy who has never fought at 126 against a real Featherweight to get in there and win against an admittedly flawed, dumb but undeniably dangerous and unique fighter with massive power. Until Donaire shows some viability as a Featherweight against real Featherweight comp, I regret to say he gets fucking blasted here
