    To me Mares is way behind Donaire just in terms of where they are at in their careers.

    Donaire has made a name for himself beating well known guys, I don't know why people would have an issue with him fighting Arce though because he just fought the guy Arce beat~ so even if I find the outcome predictable it is still legitimate.

    Mares is just beginning to build his name, so he needs a win against a guy like Arce much more than Donaire at this point.

        what does this have to do with the conversation at hand?

        why is it okay for Mares to want an Arce fight but not Nonito especially if YOU think Nonito has cherry picked (which is what you state)

        by that if you think Nonito is cherry picking then surely an Arce fight would be a cherry pick too? I mean people on here groaned when he made mention of it.

        but yet in this thread Mares is being applauded for asking for the same opponent, with a harder more recent resume to boot

          What was that mid 08 through mid 09?

          It is fun to talk about who is better and who might win, but they are obviously in very different places in their careers.

          Donaire started out in 01 and Mares started out in 05. Donaire has had many long layoffs but a 4 year head start is still a long time

            he also had a ruptured appendix that kept him out for months as well

            I know Mares I know his career and I know his team very well

            Frankie- this isn't about you guys I actually applaud the move I think he and Travieso would be great

            just calling out those who said it was weak for Nonito to do the same

              the outrage went back to him wanting Arce and not Rigondeaux at the moment

                  Abner Mares needs to build his name and continue growing and a win over Jorge Arce I think would propel Mares to the next level. Mares needs some time on HBO like Donaire, then set up an eventual meeting between the two. It's logical since Donaire shows no signs of wanting a fight with Gamboa or Juanma anyway... and Rigo?? c'mon he's talented and all but he hasn't really established himself yet the way Abner and Nonito are doing right now...

                      First donaire, is a bit more advance in his career than Mares. Mares needs more a name like Arce than Nonito does.

                      Second, Nonito is clearly not fighting the 2 best fighters in his division, Mares besides Moreno he fought all the ones he could in his weight class.

                      The problem is not much Donaire fighting Arce, is that he aint fighting Nishioka nor Rigodeaux. He is fighting Terrazas(SMH) and then Arce.

                      2 fights, specially Terrazas that means nothing!!
