    It's a huge fight for me because unlike other fights, I don't feel like it is a mismatch. To me and to many others, this is a 50/50 fight. It's also between #1 and #2.

    So, of our lifetime? Probably not. Of this year? Probably so.

        Guillermo Rigondeaux said he's the greatest boxer in history and Nonito Donaire is many people's #1 Fighter at the moment. I haven't been hyped for a fight of this magnitude since Holyfield vs Tyson.

          Its a great match up on paper, both guys have tremendous skills and a hard fight to call. We'll have to see after the fight to know if its the greatest of all time.

            I really don't think it's gonna play out that way, NE. It won't be Rios-Alvarado, but it won't be a snoozer. There might be some brief lulls, but I think there will be some crisp action.

              Yes, this could be the match-up of the year.

                This fight will definitely be better than Rios-Alvarado.

                  No way in hell.

                  Rigo thinks he's the best and wants to prove it.

                  Donaire thinks he's the best and wants to prove it.

                  They ARE the best, and whoever wins WILL prove it. This is the biggest fight of their lives.

                  Everything they have done in their careers has led up to this. Nobody is leaving anything on the table in this fight.

                    Maybe. But what I meant was that it won't be that kind of action. This is not likely to be a war.

                      This fight will have action in it but im looking forward to watching a highly skilled chess match. Every fight shouldn't have to look like Alvarados-Rios to be enjoyable especially when you have guys as skilled as Donaire and Rigo are for **** sakes.
