    no way in hell. anyone who thinks this doesn't know bob arum!

    He's got two cash cows to milk right now.

    ****, we'll be LUCKY if we even get Gamboa vs Lopez. And I believe Arum hinted or flat out said that wont even happen until 2012.

    And even if Arum wasn't in the way, I think Donaire made it clear he wants to unify 118 before moving up (which is the right thing to do imo).

      Yeah Boxing just needs a big fight though. I mean Pacquiao vs. Mosley is garbage I know it will make a ton of $$$. But I wont to see a real fight with two guys in their prime fighting. Atleast we are getting Cotto vs. Margarito this summer.

        Noooo....

        That fight ain't happening for a while. People were talking Mayweather vs De La Hoya like 3 years prior. This is simply the beginning stages of what "could be" a big fight in the future.

          IMO, Donaire fighting Juan Ma this year would still be too much of a rush. People gotta remember, Juan Ma is a BIG Featherweight compared to what Donaire is now. Donaire needs time to mature and get up to Featherweight in a manner where he can feel out the division, THEN take the big fight with either Gamboa or Juan Ma.

                why when there are plenty of GOOD fights to look forward to?

                and you are real fighters fighting in their prime against each other of late

                Mares Agbeko
                Berto Ortiz
                Ward Abraham
                Bradley Khan
                Rios Acosta

                  Ou gotta include froch vs road warrior even if glen isn't prime.

                  Not to mention we have some good prospect fights coming up.

                  Is adamek vs vit signed?
