I think you could argue that if he was fighting Mares but Rigo's amature pedigree and him being such a mysterious pro makes this a mega fight. Even now with the testing people are giving him a hard time. They wouldnt do that for a Mares or Montiel fight
how would you rank this in terms nonito's best win (if he beats rigo)?

Alot of guys like Raheem beat legends or stars and then never really do anything to follow it up. You also have to monitor how much can you judge hindsight. Meaning a Vic win was huge at the time but looking back at what we know now, Vic is not on his level at all. Should that matter or not? Its always hard to figure out. I tend to think it shouldnt but others may aruge otherwise.
He was also P4P like you said against a great in Montiel but most thought he would still run through him. Too big even though coming from a lower weight. Again, Rigo is all perception but as they say, perception is reality. If Donaire kills him a ton of people will give him props while at the same time others will say that Rigo was an inexperinced pro who hadnt done much. In some ways with fights like this, you almost hope its tough because you may get more credit with it being a tough fight then if you destroy him.
Its all crazy. Ill just go ahead and agree with you and say that the others are bigger now but what Rigo does after has a chance to make this Donaire's biggest
