    Low risk, low reward.
    Rigo is high risk, low reward.

      Donaire isn't a better boxer than Rigo. A technician who is just as gifted athletically can keep all fun stuff Donaire likes to do to slower opponents in check.

        to me, it is. he has better resume compared to rigondeaux

          I dont care who would win between Rigo-Donaire but its a fight I would love to see. Right now, Donaire is showing he doesnt want the fight and is using total # of fights as an excuse not to fight. First he said "he priced himself out" and now he is saying this. This is starting to remind me a bit of the Juanma and Celestino thing a few yrs back.

                Donaire should just fight Rigondeaux and get it over with.

                I'd rather him fight Mares-Moreno winner as they will be the best 2 fighters in the division but I'll happily settle for second best.

                  This....

                  Donaire knows the Rigo just turned 32, he is gonna try and wait him out in age just like Floyd is doing to Pacquiao.

                    For every other fighter this would be considered SERIOUS DUCKING but with Donaire people actually Defending his FLIP FLOPPING EXCUSES as to why he won't fight Rigondeaux

                      rigo might be a slightly better boxer in terms of a classical style but the point is Donaire is much bigger than rigo and no slouch himself in the boxing dept. Rigo's slight edge as the better boxer wont be able to offset donaire's advantages in size, power, chin, and athleticism.
