Comments Thread For: Donaire: If No Challenges at 122, I'll Move Up To 126

[fraubau]

Can't you get both? If he gets up he gets both? Who do you think would pay better and sell better? A fight with Gamboa or a Fight with Rigo or Mares.. Simple as that you answer your question!

relax dude. just calling it as it is. it was his own words, not mine. and i dnt even like rigo myself, see my posts before? but going back, gamboa mikey and the rest aren't set in stone. hell we might even see him against that old fart arce next. is that the challenge you are looking for?

[brick wall]

just fight the mares-moreno winner and that's it...donaire can move up after that.

[MASTER1454]

So hes not motivated enough take on rigondeaux which would also mean another title but he was motivated to go to the gym and train for mathebula. Nonito is the best in the division tons of people would want to challenge him so idk why he would say he wants to move up to 126 if no one challenges him. So much talent put to waste if he doesnt stay at 122.

No challenges huh? Lol... Move up please, Id love to see Salido spoil another Top Rank hype job.

He's scared - Mr. Planters done took his nuts.......

Donaire just destroyed the best 122 in the division,,,and ?

Donaire will beat the winner !

Donaire will KO RIGO

Donaire will beat anyone put in front of him

Donaire would KO May jr if they were the same weight class

....and put them in this dudes mouth......

Rigondeux might be a good challenge. Guillermo is high on the list for the hardcore fans yet highly opposite for the mainstream. If Donaire gives Rigondeux a shot just like he did with Mathebula then props to him.

At this stage, Donaire is a boxer visible among the casual fans so good matchmaking is required for the long run. Donaire-Rigondeux might be great on paper yet doesn't seem to excite the casual mainstream fans.

Besides, i predict the fight, if ever it gets done, would be a snorefest. Rigondeux with his expansive experience in the amateur division would be reluctant to let his hands go. Eventually ending up with Donaire being the aggressor while Rigon content with being the tentative fighter. In the end, it would come to a decision that would favor Donaire because of activity..zzzz...

In all, Donaire just like the others before him will never leave the land of hatedom. Because there will always be a fighter out of obscurity that is better than him.

Rigo not letting his hands go? Why do they call him The Jackal then - for biting dudes? That's some BS right there.....

He wants a straight forward fighter that he can KO easy. He wants a guy like Arce because it will work on his favor. He wants to build a fan base by beating guys with names. What he said about Rigo not being a challenge is another lame excuse. Skill wise Rigo is the best by far in that weight class and if Donaire cant see a challenge, he is delusional or straight ducking.

Duck, duck, duck, GOOSE!

You called them CANS bro...

You're being too naive to think this isn't a marketable fight. You know how many casual fans would be exited to see "Nonito Donaire unification bout vs the best amateur fighter OF ALL TIME?" Showing clips of their respective KOs and flashy images making it seem like it's the fight of the century? Seriously man you can't defend Nonito here, what he said was all wrong. He could have just said he was willing to fight anyone they put in front of him.

Yes, this is a fight that can & should be made. But Slob Arum won't make it happen....

Yes. I still stand that Donaire- Rigon is NOT a marketable fight. Just like with Mathebula and Narvaez. Fights that were made only to stay relevant.

GTFOH with that, seriously. So an unification fight is just to stay relevant? Well, then he needs to fight Rigo then - he has a belt.....

I don't think Rigondeaux is that great. Marroquin had him hurt. Donaire would KO him. No doubt in my mind.

Yeah, so then why doesn't Donaire make the fight if Rigo isn't that great then and will knock him out, no doubt?

There are a few challenges at 122 lb. The winner of Mares/Moreno would be the obvious choice.

I'm not sold on Rigo, he could easily stink up the place once he gets hit and goes on the defensive mode which is more than likely that he would do. Plus he has done the least of the other guys but he has only 11 fights. Need to see more of him

At FW you got Salido, Caballero, John, PDL, Mikey Garcia, Dib, Arce, Gonzalez, Lopez, Hosono...a bunch of fighters that he can make money with. Other than Mares the bigger money is up in FW

11 fights and a champion. Since you brought up the "defensive mode", hasn't that been the case with Donaire's fights recently? What happened to cleaning out the division? And if he moves to 126, he will catch it, trust me, so what are you really trying to say?

It's okay if he stays and gets Mares-Moreno winner it's still as good as it gets. I'm not with rigo also, damn ****s posting in Donaire threads who considers RIGO as the most feared, lol.. Rigo was hurt by his last opponent, I wonder how he survives when nonito clips him.
Arce is a garbage but a more sellable fight than Rigo for sure. The thing is Donaire is not getting any younger he will be 30 next year so short of a time to make money and fame for him

[MASTER1454]

WTF, who do you think is a better Challenge? Salido, Gamboa or ****ing Rigo and Mares.. You people always talk **** about dodging, the fact that donaire is moving up is about the money, The money is on the higher weight class! Donaire is not getting any younger and he does not need all of your dumb arguments about ducking rigo or mares, coz believe me they don't promise paycheck for donaire than Gamboa and the other weight class promises! Haters always gonna hate. Why not ask floyd to fight **** than ask donaire to fight unproven fighters whos biggest win is against cordoba!!

A person can't be a hater for pointing out the truth. A while back, Donaire said right here on NSB that he had no problems facing Rigo, now he's flip-flopping. Actions speak louder than words and Donaire did an about-face. So, when he gets called out, it's hating? Save that shhhhh....

[Light_Speed]

Just fight Arce while Rigo fights Agbeko or Darchinyan. If Rigo looks good and the demand for the fight gets even bigger then set up Donaire/Rigo for summer 2013. Forget about Mares/Moreno, this **** ain't happening.

Rigo really has the ability to stay away. I wish we could get all the fights we want but it is not always the case. Ive seen stinkers with Rigo and Donaire. One guy don't want to fight and the other don't take risks trying to open the other guy up.

I just can't access Rigo that much cause I haven't seen a lot of him, it is impressive that with 11 fights he has gotten this far but I still have to see more. Trust me if a Rigo/Donaire fight happens I'll be watching.

IMO true threats to Nonito is going to be at the higher weights

[richardt]

The headline does not match Donaire's words. He didn't say if there are no challenges at 122. And naturally the hater fools soak it up and play off of something he did not say.

[4Corners]

He said "If there are no challanges at 122", but there are 2 big challenges at 122, so why even say this???

He should fight the Mares/Moreno winner and than Rigondeaux.

As what he said, he will not be motivated when he faces Rigo,! Donaire is true to his words. The last time I've seen Rigo fought he was hurt by that guy Morroquin who I think would not even last 6 rounds with Donaire, The fact is, let Rigo face a legit contender first before calling out names. His biggest wins on his career was from Cordoba to be noted.
