    Rigo vs Donaire 2.

    Would Donaire now be the favourite based on recent form?

    If Rigo gets by Casimero I’d like to see the rematch.

    Watching Rigo vs Donaire and you would feel like Rigo just had Donaire's number and it would just be the same result every time. I'd still favor Rigo today, but idk I'd give Donaire a good chance. He would probably be the favorite.

        Rigo’s legs have slowed down too IMO. I don’t think he’d be able to box and move anywhere near as effectively as he did back in 2013. He still has incredible ring IQ though. It’s a really interesting rematch IMO.

          Watching Rigo’s recent fights, especially the Ceja one, I’m not sure he can impose that same style. The feet are nowhere near as fast anymore.

            This is Roy Jones vs Hopkins 2 kind of fight.

              Nah not at all…

              Roy was completely shot by 2010. Donaire and Rigo are both still world class.

                i don't think rigo is dumb enough to trade punches with nonito....nonito still follows his opponents around and predictable with his punches...

                  Donaire did catch him in the first fight though. Rigo could definitely outbox him again but at some point he’d have to take one IMO, especially considering he’s no longer as elusive as he once was.
