In one sentence, you've managed to summarize what's going on with this saga. Rigo fans point to Guillermo's apparant skills and talent, and his dazzling amateur career, and believe this is enough for Donaire to fight him. Nonito and his supporters point to Rigo's limited pro resume, his often unexciting style and tiny fan-base, and state Guille's "not worthy." Both sides have a case.
Personally, I'd like to see Rigo get in a couple of more fights against solid opponents before tackling Donaire. The fight with Poonsawat is a big step in that direction. Not only will it prepare Guille for Nonito, but it'll go a long way towards erasing any doubts about Rigondeaux's "worthiness". Both sides of this argument can be settled, and we can finally get this fight made.
