    The truth is you're just a huge floyd fan and you know Canelo will be fighting him next so you gotta pretend like Canelo is some great proven fighter and rock his avatar, etc. You're very transparent.

    Canelo hasn't proven anything. Donaire has.
    That's funny, I had this avatar up when talks of Mayweather-Guerrero were strong. And i've been rooting for Canelo since 2009. You're being paranoid right now.

    I just don't like Donaire, simple as. I think his opposition is weak for his stature.

    He hasn't proven anything, but he'll do it a younger age than Donaire the 30 year old.

    Bro, who are you kidding? Donaire can go up all the way to 140, he's not PPV worthy. Look at his ratings, they blow without a Mexican. You really think he'll be in a PPV at 126, 130, 135, or 140 if he gets that far? It's not about the weight class, he's just not an attraction, his opponents suck, he has like 3 good opponents his whole career. He's never going to be in a PPV, not because he's not popular, it's because he doesn't fight that opponent that if he beats, he'd have fans saying wow he beat the crap out of a fighter like that. Darchinyan, Montiel, and Mathebula are his best. At best they are very good fighters and he just doesn't have enough of those.

    He'll be a good undercard fighter at best, at his highest weight class. He's not willing to do big leaps of weight classes like the greats have. He's comfortable where he's at, fighting the guys he's fighting.

I wouldn't cry duck so far about Donaire V Rigo unless Donaire skips Rigo next year in which case ill be the first one.
      yeah I would agree with that if Donaire doesn't fight Rigo next year but I think it's pretty clear the whole point of having Rigo on the undercard was to set up a future fight. If Top Rank wanted to avoid a Donaire-Rigo fight they wouldn't put Rigo anywhere near a Donaire undercard.

        Donaire is 30 years old, and could still take fights that would be considered step ups for him. That's just hilarious. But it's the theme with Top Rank fighters.

              And which fight exactly would be a step up for Donaire? Name one fight for Donaire where he wouldn't be the favorite.

                Donaire had a good year. I don't give him too much credit for Vazquez or Arce though. HIs best wins this year were Mathebula and Nishioka for sure.

                A funny thing I've noticed is this.....

                Floyd fights WBC 147 champ and #2 WW Ortiz, and than WBA 154 champ and #1 SWW Cotto, and people slam his opposition for some reason.

                Donaire fights Top 10 122 fighter Vazquez, IBF 122 champ and Top 10 at 122 Mathebula, Arce, and than #1 122 fighter Nishioka, and gets all the credit in the world from some of the same people who try to discredit Floyd's last couple fights.

                Anyways, Donaire had a solid year. It was a dry year in terms of FOTY though, not much competition this year, with the exception of Marquez who KO'd Manny. I hope he fights Mares and/or Rigondeaux next or it'll be a hole in his resume.

                  Okay but don't kid yourself. You said name one fight at 122 or under that has headlined a PPV. That doesn't even matter, he can go up to 140 he'll never headline sh-t. I'd give him Latin Fury card, that's about it.

                    Hahaha poor guy. Man I feel for you. Must be hard sleeping at night. I suggest you better get used to it before you go crazy because I don't see anybody beating Donaire soon.

                    You better get some help brah.

                      He won't avoid him no more cuz rigo sign a contract with top rank witch guaranty a fight with donaire in less of three fights..so since donaire have to do it he should take the fight now that rigo still getting experience in the pro game..
