Who will Nonito Donaire fight next?

I would prefer Mares but it's highly unlikely. And with Rigo resigning with TR, I'm guessing one of the conditions is he gets a shot with Donaire.

Most likely Rigondeaux after Rigo takes a tune up.

why are people excited for the rigo fight? i mean rigo style will not make it exciting. You will get something similiar to the Nishioki fight. Bring on mares the will be an action packed fight FOTY worthy!!

Arum has to be the worst at letting his ego and emotions get in the way of the fights the fans want to see. He basically let Pac-May fall through, Gamboa-JuanMa fall through and almost let Martinez-Chavez fall through. I'd say we as fans would be extremely lucky to see this fight (Rigs-Donaire) by the end of next year - it likely won't ever happen.

Arum will have Rigo and Donaire fight other opponents in the first half of next year. They'll fight toward the end of next year. Hopefully the fans won't see this fight get spoiled by an underdog who didn't read the memo that Arum wants to marinate this a bit. It could happen...

Rico Ramos...........he will draw comparisons between Donaire and Rigo using this fight so that the Rigo-Donaire fight can marinate until the fall of next year. I can seriously see Donaire-Ramos happening early next year. As you point out it'll draw comparisons between Rigo and him and it'll build up a Rigo fight. In the meantime Rigo should fight Agbeko. I think that'll build the Donaire-Rigo matchup a little bit.

I think it could be Rigondeaux. I doubt Arum has any serious ambitions of making Rigo into a big star whereas with Nonito it's plausible, depending on what he can deliver at featherweight. If the promotional barrier can be negotiated it actually wouldn't surprise me to see Mares-Rigondeaux before Mares-Donaire. That's the fight that can marinate for a while.

It looks like Rigo is fighting someone else in February. I knew it, Arum isn't giving us Nonito against either Mares or Rigondeaux. Reason #34202 for why he is a cancer on the sport. Hah!! Frank Warren makes Bob Arum look like a saint handing out money to the poor.

Hopefully its Mares would love to see Donaire put a whooping on Mares.

Where did you hear that Bradley isn't fighting on the February date? @ringmagazine Lem: Arum says Bradley-Peterson II is in play Tweet above and the link http://t.co/zN01ZHcT

From the other article you commented on its still a possibility it happens next for the reasons stated above.... Where did you hear that Bradley isn't fighting on the February date?

Bradley reportedly is no longer on this date..... It frees up Rigo for March.... Make it happen From the other article you commented on its still a possibility it happens next for the reasons stated above....

Who ever he fights..it dont matter I see him cleaning up the division..Nonito is the truth.

It should be Mares, but Rigo is fine too. I think Rigo has earned it now given his history and skills. mares is a more entertaining fight! better pay too! but whatheck, donaire don't need him! he'll move up after rigo and will hunt gamboa! he'll be the Cuban assassin!

It will be Rigo! Mares right now is hard to make. Mares will be easy fight for Donaire anyways. I give Donaire mares an 8-1 betting line! While Donaire-Rigo will be around 6/5-1 line. Just Watched Rigo-Cordoba again, I know it's hella boring but I want to see Rigo against a tall boxer. Rigo-runner will be an easy fight for Donaire! He's too predictable for a Donaire caliber fighter. This could end with a spectacular one punch KO! It could be by a Lethal left hook KO punch after a Rigo jab! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eCEN-BFVfM

It could not be more obvious. lol.. Donaire > Rigo and he'll probably whoop mares as well

It could not be more obvious. lol..

I think Bob Arum is running out of options at 122. Therefore, I think it might be Rigondeaux. Plus, there is some kind of animosity building up between these two dudes. Nonito Donaire is a great fighter and I want to seem in some competitive fights. However, I think this dude beats both of the Cubans at 122 and 126.
