    Eric Morel, who never fought at 122 pounds in his life? yeah that's the WBC for you.

    Mares won the WBC belt by fighting Eric Morel, another 118 pound fighter, at a catchweight of 120 pounds. True champion!!!

      Mares would be awesome. Guaranteed firefights I think. It's also the least likely to happen unfortunately.

      Mares, Nishioka, and Rigondeaux are all good options. Donaire really needs to fight one of them.

        cool card would be:

        Donaire vs Nishioka
        Arce vs Rojas II

        if he wants to fight Arce after that then fine....that is a money fight after one that is meaningful, which is a path guys (who are popular) in their early 30s might take

          That's the one I'd like to see the most.

          Other than that, Nishioka.

          I wish he'd stay there and fight all of them.
          Moreno is still at 118 right? That's probably why his votes are so low. If he is/was at 122, he'd be a great option, I'd rather see Donaire fight him than Mares.

            That is not the point. The point is nishioka gave up the belt he was not stripped like some ******s state

              Exactly.

              122 is potentially the best division in Boxing right now.

                he was forced to give up his belt, better?

                he didn't have much if an option. he wanted to fight donaire, the wbc tells him he has to fight Morel, a guy not even in the division or he'll be stripped. pretty ****** by the wbc anyway u look at it.

                  Voted Mares, but any of the top 3 in the poll are fine by me.

                  Hope he ends up fighting them all at some point.

                    Because they don't care about Nonito beating the best, all that Top Rank wants is to get him to move up in weight and win belts in different weight classes. Right now he's a world champion in 3 different weight classes, but if you include the interim belt he has at 115 and a belt at 126 then they're going to promote him as a 5 time world champion and say that he's top 10 ATG or some crap like that.

                      how about just fight morel? And get it out of the way wasnt like he had anything lined up. Wasnt like he was going to get donaire right away.
