    It wouldn't be an easy fight but I think Donaire beats Rigondeaux. He's just as fast, taller, longer reach, and has heavier hands. They both move there feet very well though. I personally think Nonito would beat JuanMa, Gamboa and Rigondeaux.

      I don't think Rigo can beat Donaire YET. He only has what, 9 fights? Still needs more tough opponents if he wants to get a shot against Donaire or anyone else high in the division.

        Wishful thinking.

          How is it wishful thinking. JuanMa and Gamboa have already been dropped aren't exactly the best defensive boxers. Out of the three Rigondeaux gives Donaire the biggest challenge. Donaire is taller and has a reach advantage on all 3.

          Styles makes fights and Donaire has it to defeat all 3.

            No, he doesn't. They built up Donaire by pitting him against guys who aren't nearly as athletic as he is on top of the fact he was a giant compared to them. The punches he walked through at '18 won't fly at '22 and '26 against guys that are as quick with pop in their punch (rigo, Gamboa, Russell, JuanMa). Don't get me wrong, Donaire is fun to watch, but when he gets in their with an athletic technician, he's getting devoured.

              Did Donaire make you pregnant?

                Never happen, but somebody should put together another tourney.

                All these guys are around 5' 5" so I gotta' think they could find a common weight:

                Guillermo Rigondeaux

                Gary Russell Jr.

                Yuriokis Gamboa

                Abner Mares

                Nonito Donaire

                  This would be an interesting fight if Rigondeaux had turned pro a few years earlier. You never know though seeing as Rigondeaux isn't getting any younger and his career is getting pushed forward rather quickly

                      I agree completely. I respect Donaire a lot but I think Rigo is a level higher. Donaire's defense is a little suspect and it wouldn't surprise him if Rigo actually got the kayo with his signature body uppercut.
