But OMAR NARVAEZ, now that's a known name throughout the sport. All the casual fans know about little Omar, that's why they made a Donaire-Narvaez MEGA-FIGHT at MSG, because Omar is such a huge draw.

Rigondeaux, he's a no name, but Omar Narvaez, he's BIG TIME and that's why Team Donaire and Arum chose to make that fight.

All sarcasm aside, it's really funny how Garcia, Arum, and Nonito say "No one knows who Rigondeaux is", but yet they are coming off fighting OMAR F**KING NARVAEZ, who NO ONE knows outside of hardcore fans.

They just don't want to risk Nonito "I fight smaller guys every 5 seconds" Donaire against someone at 122 that can actually beat him.

Rigo matches him in foot speed and hand speed, is an accurate counter puncher, with great defense.

Mission Avoid Rigondeaux is in full effect, but I saw this coming ever since Rigo-Ramos was announced, and when Nonito was jumping to 122. I just hope Gamboa-Donaire is actually made at least, so Yuri can smash Nonito down.

true story right there.....

I think this Donaire fighting Rigondeux is the type of bout he needs to prove he deserves to be top 5 P4P. It doesn't matter if hardly anyone knows Rigo. Forget the casuals. The entire boxing community does; and a win over Rigo would bring Donaire an insane amount of respect.

Bob Arum hasn't even mentioned Nonito fighting Rigo, and HE PROMOTES RIGO TOO!

Robert Garcia had a full article on here where he's saying "Rigo isn't a draw, we aren't even considering him". That's what it boiled down to.

And check Nonito's twitter I believe. He said he didn't even watch Rigo-Ramos and then re-tweeted all this crap about how Rigo-Donaire shouldn't be made, it's a mismatch, etc.

They WILL NOT fight him, period.

I think donaire beats rigondeaux. lets not forget that cordoba knocked down rigondeaux with a short right hand..and after that rigondeaux went on his bicycle. so just imagine if donaire lands his signature left hook or a strong straight right. But then again rigondeaux has those crippling body shots, so it should be an interesting fight.

Donaires impatience during the Omar fight leads me to believe this is a 50/50 fight.

It's no that I dislike him, I just think he's overrated, and of course I hate that they are already mapping out their plan to avoid Guillermo.

I want to see Donaire fight Vasquez in Feb and than probably Arce in June. Rigo could fight Nishioka in June or July. Than, have a Donaire-Rigo showdown in the Fall. But, that won't happen. It would be SOOOO EASY to put together....if Bob Arum and Team Donaire wanted to. But they don't.

They seem to be trying to groom Nonito as the next Pacquiao, jumping weight classes and such. But, I just see him as very overrated after knocking out Montiel. Do you really think Nonito is #4 P4P in the world???

the ****...donaire is just about to have his first fight at 122 next month and he's already avoiding someone at that weight

what a troll...he even made a thread about it.
