Donaire pretty much admits he's not taking on dangerous opponents

I think Arce is next because Donaire is in desperate need of a fight where he looks good.

definitely i think donaire is fighting arce next...hopefully after that he fights either nishioka or rigo.

I agree man, all these mismatches are not doing so well with the boxing Gods. I hope everyone that's supposed to win, loses this year.

so far that's how it's kind of been...tavoris cloud vs campillo (campillo should have won but was robbed), brandon rios vs abril (abril was robbed), sonny boy jaro vs wonjongkam, ortiz vs lopez, and now khan vs garcia etc. etc.

Right now Donaire would make about as much money fighting Rigo than he did fighting Mathebula. When the task is more difficult you deserve more money, what's so complicated about that.

If Donaire wants to experiment, let him do it in sparring. I don't want to buy fights to see him play around.

Best should fight the best, and no one else until that's settled.

Nish, Mares, Rigo, and in that order
fuck Arce, no point to that fight
rematching Mathebula would be better

Didn't he say that a couple fights ago? I forgot which win it was...but I recall him saying he wanted to take a couple easier fights and then fight all the top guys. So nothing new here, if I recall correctly.

A Mathebula rematch is sadly a possibility is more likely than Donaire - Mares due to the stupid feud between GBP and Top Rank. There is not a good reason why Donaire can't fight Nishioka or Rigo, that would be all on Donaire. Donaire's team and promoters have a say but Donaire should be able to get a fight especially with another in-house fighter if he really wants it.

Does anybody know how the TR and Rigo contract negotiations are going?? I hope there's a provision that Rigo gets to fight Donaire I want to see that fight..

This guy is not getting any younger. No more passes for him. Sadly Top Rank will keep using their protective matchmaking gurus and Donaire won't ask to fight better competition.

nah it wasnt. donaire killed himself to make 115 years. he probably outweighed narvaez in that fight by a good 10lbs. there was no way narvaez was winning that fight. i dunno a single person who thought he would.
