name 2 opponets you like for rigo before donaire..

[kiaba360]

I only want one before Donaire. Either Agbeko or Darchinyan, since both are willing to fight Rigondeaux. Beat either one of those guys impressively, and hell yeah Donaire-Rigondeaux would have to be made as soon as possible.

but why?? I don't understand how beating Vic or Agbeko all of a sudden makes Rigo a much more viable opponent than he already is. Do people hold Agbeko and Darchinyan in that high of a regard? I'm not saying they aren't good fights, but it won't make Donaire turn around and say, "OMG I NEED TO FIGHT RIGO ASAP!!!"

Montiel and Darchinyan

They are the type of proven world class fighter that I need to see Rigondeaux beat. Kicking either of their asses should make a Donaire fight far more attractive.

I agree. Beating Vic or Agbeko will add weight to his resume, but it won't make him a bigger star or a bigger draw. It's not gonna change the $$$ problem. Plus, beating them will garner comparisons to Nonito/Mares/Moreno, which won't necessarily be a good thing. Darch just beat a young prospect and has a WBA ranking, so he's a more legit opponent than Agbeko, but there are still other fights that make sense.

Beating Darchinyan in style on a HBO main event would definitely improve his marketability.

We're talking about 122. None of these guys will make serious money. Rigo would be just as attractive as Mares or Moreno or anyone else if he beat Darchinyan. Okay, probably not Mares but anyone else easily.

The last guy who bullied Glen got trashed, let's not put Rigo in a Coma.

lol...i remember when nonito said he's going to avenge his brother's loss to darchinyan nobody believed him.

[IronDanHamza]

Agbeko is my first choice.

Darchinyan would be my second.

[chiguy91]

i picked darchinyan and nishioka (i know he didn't show up, but i still think he's a solid fighter). agbeko and vazquez jr would be the next best options imo. any 2 of those 4 would be great for rigondeaux to have before making a donaire fight. hopefully nonito at least fights the winner of mares/moreno. that's the fight i really want to see at 122.
