Comments Thread For: Nonito Donaire Will Take His Time Before Going To 126

[rey guey]

Dude just moved up to 122. It's like asking Mares to fight Rigondeux right away.

I'm not saying he should fight Rigondeaux right now but I'd be really suprised if he ever fought Rigondeaux. it's a tough fight and Arum won't risk a future cash cow on a 31 year old Cuban who doesn't have many fans.

if Arum was making a lot of money off Rigondeaux they'd be fighting next.


Donaire is a great fighter, I'm just ****ting on Arum because I'm positive he'll do the same **** with Nonito that he does with all of his cash cows, put them in garbage fights. I don't mind if Arum wants to protect a coward like Chavez, he's a bum and gets destroyed by any good fighter but Nonito has real talent and I'd like to see him prove it against the best. instead he'll get the soft touch by fighting guys like Arce and Marquez instead of Rigondeaux.

I'm just looking down the line.

Talk about using Donaire's name in the media to build up Rigo. How about Rigo build up his name first since he just won the title. He should rematch the guy who beat him first. I'm sure Cordoba would love the rematch. Tell Rigo to stop ducking Toshiaki Nishioka.....now see how that sounds?

So Rigondeaux shouldn't call out Donaire? Rigo is such a freeloader huh? He was challenging Nonito well before the Ramos fight.
You're suggesting that Rigo rematch Cordoba? I'd watch it. BTW Rigondeaux won vs Cordoba little Ritchie

I don't mind Donaire staying at 122 for a while if he fights the likes of Nishioka or Rigondeaux. But I doubt Arum will match Donaire up with Rigondeaux since that wouldn't make much money. Nishioka doesn't have a fan base in the US but I doubt Arum would stage that fight in Japan, maybe in the Philippines.

I expect Arce, Marquez, Nishioka, and Juanma Lopez to be his next four opponents.

After knocking out Gonzales and beat Marquez by UD in Vegas, Noshioka has now put his name in US and always bring his big Japanese base fans in Vegas. Try to learn more in boxing before your comments makes relevance

If it was so hard for him to stay at BW, why does he have to put so much work into building muscle for SBW?

If you are struggling to make 118, then you add 4lbs of muscle in order to fight at 122, then you'll just end up struggling again.

People keep talking about Rigo because he just fought, the reality is that Mares and Moreno are more deserving and he should be preparing to face one of them right now instead of division-hopping in search of vacant titles.

I know it isn't 100% Donaire's fault, he did his best to get away from Arum, but it's still a shitty situation.
