I've got a lot of respect for Donaire, but that champion you speak of was 37 years old and hadn't fought in twelve months when Nonito defeated him. Nishioka promptly retired after the fight, which says more about where he was in his career than about the beating he took. I'm not knocking Donaire's victory, but let's put things into their proper perspective, shall we?
Donaire's beaten a lot of undefeated upcomers too! As if Donaire just feast on retirees!! Donaire cleaned up 112-122, Rigo's the last one! Then He'll move up and clean house at 126!

That's fine, but I was responding to a specific statement that other poster made.

What perspective is that? Do you really believe Rigo is better? In what way? Donaire has more power and is faster. Rigo's defence is slightly better but his resume sucks. Donaire has fought some of the best champions in the lower weight divisions. He is a legitimate fighter of the year contender for 2012. Rigo has had 11 fights, none of his opponents have been on the level of what Donaire's been fighting the last 2-3 years.
Rigo v Donaire is a fight between two top guys so I own't knock either.
