Mares should get Donaire. Rigondeaux should take on Nishioka.

I would love Rigo versus Nishioka! He's solid, and someone Rigo can handle...great preparation for Donaire.

lol at you people actually thinking Arum will make this fight

[calamaro]

Rigo Nishioka and Donaire are a beautiful trifecta in 122 lb. I have no hopes to see them fight, sadly.

I'm quite aware. And, as I made clear in my earlier post, I'm keenly aware of their value. But 400 (or a million) amateur fights don't necessarily make you ready for a guy many consider the #4 pound-for-pound fighter in the world. Because Rigo was clearly superior to Ramos doesn't mean anything with regards to Donaire. Nonito happens to be clearly superior to Rico as well.

Well said, The fight would happen (If Arum isnt Around anymore) but it would be better for Rigo if this fight happens a bit later, Am not actually underestimating Rigo or anything but for him to a better chance at Nonito i think he should take another one or two fight.

I don't think the importance of pro fights is overrated; I think that many people underrate a high number of amateur fights. Rigondeaux has something like 400 amateur wins and about a dozen losses. That's a lot of fighting experience. Not to mention, Guillermo has won two Olympic golds and been amateur world champion.

A successful amateur career is no guarantee of professional success, but it's a good indicator. Traditionally, the winner of Olympic gold has been seen as a favorite to win a pro title. Guys like Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Leonard, etc. were not only Olympic champions, but professional ATGs. There's a definite link

but people are looking at beating an aged darchiniyan and a tiny montiel as if donaire has fought the best fighters to see a ring. Donaire is exciting and he knocks people out at a low weight, so he's likable. I like him. But fighting a stiff is fighting a stiff and I think that due to popularity and a high ranking people are viewing all donaire's future comp as inferior. Problem is moving up has its own challenges, but the fight won't happen anyway.

who has rigo beat?

Oh ok.

Darchinyan was the raging bull at the time- unstoppable and unslowable, he was DESTROYING everybody and he was supposed to destroy donaire too. Wrong.

Montiel had just come from beating Hasegawa and had been on almost a half decade winning streak. Size wasn't a factor in this fight. Montiel came in heavier than Donaire.

And then there's sydorenko and Mthlane- both of which are world class and would give Rigo trouble.

Rico ramos has been champion for about 20 minutes. He lost his championship before I knew he even had one.

Donaire dont want it!!!!!!!

rigo's the one that needs to be worrying
