    I don't even know who I'd want to see scoop Donaire up at this point. I'm back and forth between Golden Boy and Top Rank and recently I think I might be favoring Top Rank. I really have no idea how well Nonito could fare on his own.

      He does have one of the best managers in the world, Cameron Dunkin, so the big fights are all possibilities. Signing with Top Rank ensures he'd stay busy and could match him with Mijares or Jorge Arce.

        That's what concerns me the most is inactivity. It's never good for a fighter and plus I love to watch that dude fight. He's phenomenal.

          Arce would be tough tuneup fight 4 him to see if he can put up the same performance as Mijares. Follow it up with Montiel and Mijares and it gives Donaire a solid pacman-esque resume

            Arce is no tune up fight.

              Arce is well past it. Right now he's just a big draw with a questionable ability to deal with technical skill.

                He didn't real look past it against Mijares even when he was getting his ass kicked. He still had pretty good speed against Mijares. The problem was that Mijares was even faster and was deadly accurate.

                Haven't seem him against that Thai dude so he might have slown down, but I think he could still be a problem for anyone.

                  If you let Arce walk in on you, he's going to be a problem. If you throw something at him while he comes in, like a jab or a straight right, chances are he's going to eat that punch on the inside. What keeps him in the fight is that he's usually a featherweight or super featherweight by fight night.

                  Jorge Arce of 2002 was prime, this isn't prime Arce anymore.
