Donaire is popularly known as "The Filipino Flash"[8][9] and is a two-time winner of The Ring's Knockout of the Year award, in 2007 and 2011. He reached a peak pound for pound ranking of third by The Ring in 2011,[10] and was named Fighter of the Year in 2012 by the Boxing Writers Association of America.
