Should Donaire sever his ties with Victor Conte?

Donaire could move up to 140 and whoop Rios' arse if he wanted to.

Did you see Donaire's face after his first fight at 122? That was against Vasquez coming of a T.K.O. loss to little Arce, Donaire wouldn't even make it through the 126 lb. division. Orlando Salido,Chris John,JuanMa,and Jhonny Gonzalez would all beat Donaire.

I know wtf is with that. Booking the same dates benifits nobody. There already is a lack of action, double booking is just facked up.

I'm getting a little tired of promoters naming rising star fighters against tba's all the time. I'm more interested in who they're fighting. That's where the real interest lies. Donaire-Rigo, Rios-top ten 140lber is all I wanna hear.

Donaire is great talent but I think that last fight with WV2 told us that he probably should not move up much further in weight. I think his power will diminish and that fight was tougher for him then I thought it would be. Donaire will beat Mijares though I think guaranteed. Rigo is the one opponent Donaire needs to steer clear of though, I think he would probably beat Nonito. A lot of people don't like Rios but I do, I think he is hilarious. He will fight anyone and yes the last fight he got a gift decision, I admit that. He just needs to stop trying to make that weight and move up to the next division.
