as a fan, i certainly appreciate donaire's willingness to stay very active, i think it rejuvenates the sport. i just hope he's not overdoing it, we all know the consequences of that

[MJ223]

Thats what's up if he does.....

[IronDanHamza]

Awesome.

Hopefully Mares and Rigondeaux are the first two on that list.

Then he can move to 126.

[devildg]

Rigondeaux should be up next in March

Rigondeaux should be up next in March

i think that might be too soon if top rank is setting up a february date for rigondeaux...hopefully we see donaire vs mares in march and then the winner fights rigondeaux in the summer. but it's nice to see a top fighter is willing to fight more than once or twice a year...hopefully donaire's hands can stand up to another busy schedule tho..

above all else, Nonito should face Mares before he goes up in weight
Rigo can get it after that, but Mares needs to be first
after that, Salido at 126 sounds great if Nonito is going up
if he's gonna take these big fights, he might get in 3, but not 4

[Drunk Punch]

Mares, then Rigo (then undisputed) then up to 126. That's the path he should go.

Don't be surprise if he goes straight up to 126 to take on Salido whom is the easiest of the three.
